Software Engineer, Full Stack

Anduril Anduril · Defense · London, United Kingdom · Maritime & Maneuver Dominance : Maneuver Dominance Engineering : International - Software

Full-Stack Engineer on the Maneuver Dominance team at Anduril, focused on building operationally relevant, multi-asset autonomy. The role involves architecting and delivering systems for fleets of heterogeneous autonomous systems, requiring technical versatility across backend services, infrastructure, and frontend interfaces. Responsibilities include building backend services for scenario execution and physics modeling, designing APIs and data pipelines, shaping operator experience with frontend components, deploying services on Kubernetes, and integrating applications.

What you'd actually do

  1. Build robust, high-performance backend services that coordinate fleets of autonomous systems with downstream components in C++ and Rust handling scenario execution, physics modeling, and autonomy
  2. Design and implement APIs, and data pipelines that power systems for the full mission lifecycle from design and planning to live operation and post-analysis debrief
  3. Shape the operator experience by contributing frontend components that visualize real-time sensor data and mission state, building interactive map overlays, telemetry dashboards, and mission planning interfaces
  4. Deploy and maintain services on Kubernetes infrastructure, ensuring reliability and performance
  5. Own the integration between applications, working with gRPC/protobuf and other platform primitives to create seamless workflows
