Lead Software Architect, Rust at Anduril · getarustjob

Company: Anduril Industries
Role: Lead Software Architect, Rust
Location: Waltham, Massachusetts, United States
Department / Team: Battlespace Awareness Command and Control (C2) Systems Team
Security Clearance: Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Company & Product Overview

Defense technology company developing systems powered by Lattice OS (an AI-powered operating system for real-time command and control).
Focuses on autonomy, artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology for defense applications.

Role & Team Focus

Team: Battlespace Awareness Command and Control Software Team.
Scope: Define the architectural direction for large-scale, real-time, mission-critical C2 software powering air and missile defense and battlespace awareness capabilities.
Deployment Context: Systems span tactical edge deployments to distributed backend infrastructure.

Responsibilities

Define and drive the architectural vision for large-scale C2 software systems that ingest, fuse, and act on data from diverse sensors in real time.
Lead the design and implementation of performant, real-time, numerics-heavy algorithms in Rust and/or C++ at production scale.
Partner with research scientists to transition advanced algorithms (target tracking, state estimation, sensor-effector pairing, asset scheduling) from prototype into tactical, deployed code.
Make architectural trade-offs across performance, modularity, testability, and maintainability for mission-critical, edge-deployed systems.
Mentor and technically lead senior engineers; establish coding standards, review processes, and CI/CD practices across the team.
Engage directly with defense stakeholders and agencies (such as DoD, Army, Air Force, MDA, SCO) regarding mission-critical requirements.
Troubleshoot system issues across software, mathematical assumptions, sensor behaviors, and networking.
Contribute across all phases of the software development lifecycle, including prototyping, modeling and simulation, field testing, and deployment.
Assist in shaping technical hiring and organizational growth for the C2 team.

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

10+ years of software engineering experience.
Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Applied/Computational Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Controls/Dynamical Systems, Statistics, or a related field.
Expert-level proficiency in modern C++ and/or Rust, including asynchronous and multithreaded programming (e.g., Tokio for Rust).
Experience architecting large-scale, production-grade codebases in real-time or high-performance environments.
Experience writing performant, real-time software with numerics-heavy algorithms.
Foundation in applied mathematics: probability theory, linear algebra, optimization, differential equations (ODEs), and statistics.
Experience with CI/CD, unit testing, git version control, and microservices.
Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

M.S. or Ph.D. in a technical field (software and math background).
Domain expertise in target tracking, state estimation, Kalman filters, sensor fusion, or signal processing.
Prior DoD program experience (Army, Air Force, MDA, SCO, Navy).
Experience with GPU / CUDA kernel development.

Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary:

Salary Range: $253,000 – $336,000 USD per year (base salary only).
Equity: Equity grants included in full-time offers as part of total compensation.

Benefits:

Comprehensive health and recovery benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.

Application & Screening Details

Transcripts: Academic transcripts (official or unofficial with non-technical details redacted) or detailed coursework/project summaries are requested during the application process.
Export Controls & Background Screening: Roles are subject to U.S. export controls and pre-employment due diligence/risk screening via third-party service providers.
Equal Opportunity: Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE).
