Job details

Senior Software Engineer, Simulation Platform

Anduril Industries builds advanced defense technology powered by Lattice OS. The Simulation Platform team designs and maintains a high-fidelity, multi-domain mission simulator used for training, mission planning, autonomy development, and hardware-in-the-loop testing. We are looking for a senior (or strong mid-career) software engineer to own significant pieces of the simulator platform — focusing on performance, API and framework design, plugin/ABI stability, and integrations with live systems and tooling.

Skills

  • Professional C++20 expertise (templates, move semantics, smart pointers, framework-level design)
  • Experience designing internal APIs and frameworks with backwards-compatibility and ergonomics in mind
  • Systems programming fundamentals: memory management, shared libraries, ABI stability, linking
  • Performance reasoning: cache behavior, memory layout, algorithmic complexity
  • Comfort with linear algebra and applied math for simulation work
  • Familiarity with Linux-based C++ development toolchains and debugging/profiling tools
  • Clear technical communication and ability to work in a large, shared codebase

Responsibilities

  • Optimize and scale the real-time simulation loop for hundreds of concurrent entities with attention to memory layout, cache behavior, and contention
  • Design, implement, and maintain the custom Entity-Component-System architecture: entity lifecycle, component storage, system registration, and update loop
  • Maintain a versioned C ABI and plugin/SDK surface so internal and external teams can extend the simulator
  • Implement and maintain integration layers (gRPC services, DIS interoperability, networking messaging, file recording/playback)
  • Collaborate with domain experts to integrate new models and enhance existing capability models
  • Drive API and framework decisions with emphasis on ergonomics, backwards compatibility, and developer experience
  • Diagnose performance issues using profiling and low-level systems reasoning; perform code reviews and mentor team members on platform patterns

Education

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics or equivalent experience
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government Secret security clearance

Benefits

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