Job details

Senior Software Engineer, Data Distribution

Anduril Industries builds advanced defense technologies powered by Lattice OS. The Data Distribution team develops the Distributed Service Bus (DSB), a mesh networking communication layer for contested environments; they're seeking a systems-minded software engineer to design and implement core networking infrastructure, optimize protocols for bandwidth-constrained links, and improve observability and security across tactical meshes.

Skills

  • 5+ years professional software engineering experience
  • Proficiency in a systems programming language (Rust, C, C++, or Go)
  • Strong networking fundamentals: TCP/UDP, sockets, MTU, multicast, TLS/mTLS
  • Experience building or maintaining distributed systems (message buses, RPC, consensus)
  • Familiarity with async programming models (async/await, event loops, futures)
  • Comfort working with Protocol Buffers and gRPC
  • Ability to read packet captures and use tcpdump/Wireshark
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement DSB features including gossip protocols, link-state routing, and flow control
  • Extend and maintain the gRPC proxy layer enabling transparent service communication over the mesh
  • Debug distributed networking issues spanning tactical radios, UDP/TCP transports, and mesh routing
  • Collaborate with product and hardware teams to deploy DSB on new platforms and migrate from legacy buses
  • Implement protocol-level optimizations for RF links (compression, prefix routing, QoS scheduling)
  • Author RFCs and technical design documents for new protocols and APIs
  • Build deterministic simulation/test harnesses that run production code for reproducible validation
  • Improve observability with Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, and CLI tooling
  • Contribute to communication-layer security, including packet signing (ECDSA), FIPS considerations, and E2E encryption

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience
  • Advanced degree (MS/PhD) is a plus but not required

Benefits

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans (US roles)
  • Company-covered life and disability insurance
  • Generous PTO with December holiday hiatus; caregiver & wellness leave
  • Family planning support including IVF, adoption, and preservation coverage
  • 24/7 mental health resources, therapy, and life coaching
  • Annual professional development reimbursement
  • Commuter benefits and relocation assistance (role dependent)
  • Retirement savings options (401(k), Roth) and other regional pension/super plans
  • Competitive equity grants included in most full-time offers
