NICE TO HAVE * At least 3+ years working with a variety of programming languages such as Rust, Go, C++, Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, etc. * Professional software development lifecycle experience using tools such as version control, CI/CD systems, etc. * Experience building backend software systems with various data storage and processing requirements. * Experience with industry-standard cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), CI/CD tools, and software infrastructure fundamentals (networking, security, distributed systems). * Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g. NixOS, Terraform). * Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases. * Familiarity with industry-standard monitoring and logging tools. * A bias toward rapid delivery and iteration. * You've built or invented something: an app, a website, a game, a startup. * Previous experience working in an engineering setting: a startup (or startup-like environment), engineering school, etc. If you've succeeded in a low-structure, high-autonomy environment you'll succeed here. * Exposure to containers, SBOM tooling, or vulnerability scanning (Syft, Grype, Trivy). * Prior work on a platform, devinfra, SRE, or developer-productivity team. ## Description To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind: * No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process.
