Classified Platform Engineer

By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold.

As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Anduril is seeking a Classified Platform Engineer to serve as the technical lead for our classified software team. You will design and build the platform services and user-facing applications that make multi-level classified computing possible: a virtual desktop and application broker, a policy-enforcing storage gateway, and the administrative interfaces for our access control platform. You will own them end to end, from architecture through the DevSecOps pipeline that delivers them into accredited, fully air-gapped environments, working alongside Cybersecurity, Systems Engineering, and Infrastructure Engineering.

This is a hands-on role with real technical authority. You will be the first dedicated software engineer on this team, which means you set the architecture, choose the patterns, and establish the engineering standards the rest of the team builds to. As the team grows you will lead it technically, and there is a clear path into formal technical leadership of the software function for someone who wants it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Act as technical lead for the classified software and platform team: own the architecture of the application portfolio, set the standards the team builds to, and make the tradeoff calls.
• Design and build production web applications in React and Go that operate fully air-gapped inside accredited classified environments.
• Develop and work with S3 storage APIs and policies.
• Build the administrative and operator interfaces for our access control platform, and design the relational and distributed datastores behind authorization decisions, audit records, and application state.
• Own the DevSecOps path to production: containerize and deploy to Kubernetes through GitOps CI/CD pipelines that scan, sign, and produce the evidence our accreditations require.
• Decompose multi-quarter programs into well-scoped work other engineers can deliver independently, and grow the engineers who join the team through design review, code review, and pairing.
