About this role

As a Mission Software Engineer at Anduril Industries, you will be responsible for debugging and fixing issues in autonomous underwater/surface vehicles based on field-reported anomalies.

You will also document root causes and collaborate with teams to ensure systemic issues are addressed, ultimately leading to ownership of subsystems and roadmap work.

Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Anduril Industries as an employer.

What you need

  • Real experience debugging code you didn't write, under time pressure, with incomplete information.
  • Comfort in at least two of Rust, modern C++, Python, Go to read and fix bugs in them.
  • Systems-debugging instincts: pull logs and metrics, reconstruct what happened, reproduce offline from recorded data instead of only live.
  • Exposure to observability tooling (Prometheus/Grafana-class metrics, Loki/ELK-class logs).
  • Linux and systems fluency.
  • Ability to write clear documentation of issues and fixes.

Nice to have

  • Robotics middleware, sensor drivers, or real-time data pipeline experience.
  • Time in simulation-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop test setups.
  • CI/CD and versioned deployment experience for embedded or fleet software.
  • Actual on-call or field-support experience for hardware that ships to real users.

What you get

  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.
  • Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers.

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of a formal training program for new hires, so self-sufficiency is important.
  • The role involves significant debugging of existing code rather than developing new features, which may not appeal to all candidates.
