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 up what actually happened clearly, without padding it out or burying the cause.

Nice to have

  • Robotics middleware, sensor drivers, or real-time data pipeline experience (sonar, radar, lidar, whatever).
  • 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, not just internal tools.

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 mentorship or onboarding process, which may require self-direction.
  • The role involves significant travel, which may impact work-life balance.
  • The job requires working with complex systems and debugging under pressure, which may not suit everyone.
