Anduril Industries Software Engineer dedicated to allied customer deployment of Sentry Tower systems, focusing on software configuration, network integration, and field support. Requires travel for installation, integration, and operator support.
Responsibilities
Own the software configuration for this program's tower variants in our declarative platform, from product definitions through payload and sensor configuration to image builds.
Integrate towers into the customer's network and communications environment, covering addressing, routing, backhaul, and any interfaces the program requires.
Own the deployment and software update path for the program's fielded systems, including provisioning, staged rollout, and verification that an update landed cleanly.
Travel to customer sites for installation, integration, commissioning, and operator support, including extended international deployments, at approximately 30% of your time.
Be the program's technical front line: triage field issues, reproduce them on a bench or in simulation, root-cause them, and either fix them directly or drive the fix with the owning team.
Build the tooling, documentation, and runbooks that let field personnel and the customer's own operators resolve routine problems without escalating.
Represent the program back into engineering, making sure customer requirements and field realities reach the teams whose roadmaps need to reflect them.

Required
2+ years of professional software engineering, with time spent on systems that are deployed and operated rather than only developed.
Solid Linux systems skills: the command line, systemd, log analysis, and the ability to diagnose a misbehaving service on a machine you didn't set up.
Practical networking competence: addressing and subnetting, routing, DNS, VLANs, and packet capture, enough to integrate a system into someone else's network and debug it when it doesn't come up.
Proficiency in at least one of Python, Rust, C++, or Go, and willingness to work in Rust and C++ where our services live.
Willingness and ability to travel approximately 30% of the time, including extended international trips that cannot be rescheduled around, and to work effectively on customer sites.
Strong written communication and follow-through, since much of this role is coordinating across time zones and leaving behind documentation someone else depends on.
US person status required. Active US Secret clearance, or a previously granted Secret clearance eligible for reactivation.
Preferred
Experience with declarative configuration management or infrastructure-as-code. Nix or NixOS is what we use; adjacent tooling is a fine starting point.
Field service, field engineering, or deployment engineering background, especially on hardware systems.
Experience integrating with radios, satellite terminals, cellular backhaul, or constrained and intermittent network links.
Prior work supporting international or defense customers, or in a program-facing engineering role.
Additional language skills, or experience working with non-native-English-speaking operators and partner engineering teams.
Familiarity with robotics, sensor systems, cameras, or radar.
