Job description

  • Build agentic workflows that make modeling and simulation capabilities accessible through natural language, structured tools, APIs, and operator-facing product experiences.
  • Design multi-agent architectures that model human decision-making, adversary responses, operational constraints, and plan tradeoffs across complex military operations.
  • Integrate LLM tool use, function calling, retrieval, planning loops, evaluation hooks, and guardrails with simulation engines, physics/modeling backends, and mission planning systems.
  • Build backend services and interfaces for scenario creation, entity tasking, simulation state retrieval, course-of-action generation, plan comparison, and real-time analysis.
  • Partner with warfighters, model/sim experts, autonomy engineers, game/simulation engineers, and mission software teams to translate ambiguous planning workflows into reliable software.
  • Improve observability, reproducibility, and evaluation for agent behavior so generated scenarios and recommendations are inspectable, explainable, and operationally useful.
  • Learn and apply relevant DoD modeling and simulation tools and concepts, including campaign-level simulation, mission-level simulation, wargaming workflows, and systems such as AFSIM and STORM., 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. Our legitimate recruitment is entirely free for candidates.
  • Please always verify communications:
  • Direct from Anduril: If you receive an email from one of our recruiters, it will only come from an @anduril.com address.
  • Via Agency Partner: If contacted by a recruiting agency for an Anduril role, their email will clearly identify their agency. If you suspect any suspicious activity, please verify the agency’s authenticity by reaching out to contact@anduril.com.
  • Exercise Caution with Unsolicited Outreach: If you receive any communication that appears suspicious, contains grammatical errors, or makes unusual requests, do not engage. Always confirm the sender’s email domain is @anduril.com before providing any personal information or clicking on links.

Your proactive caution is invaluable in protecting your personal information and upholding the security and trustworthiness of our recruitment efforts.

Requirements

  • Strong production software engineering experience building backend services, APIs, platforms, or integrations around complex stateful systems.
  • Hands-on experience building AI/ML or LLM-powered software, ideally including tool/function calling, RAG, structured outputs, agent orchestration, MCP-style interfaces, or model evaluation.
  • Proficiency in Python, Go, or a similar backend language, with the ability to work across service boundaries and integrate with external systems.
  • A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
  • Ability to work directly with operators, warfighters, and technical SMEs to turn ambiguous operational planning needs into concrete product and engineering requirements.
  • Strong judgment around reliability, safety, observability, and debugging for AI systems deployed in high-stakes environments.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance., * Experience with modeling and simulation, physics engines, wargaming tools, autonomy simulation, operations research, planning systems, or human/adversary behavior modeling.
  • Experience with DoD modeling and simulation tools or concepts such as AFSIM, STORM, campaign-level simulation, mission-level simulation, or course-of-action analysis.
  • Experience shipping production agentic systems, not only prototypes.
  • Familiarity with gRPC/protobuf, Kubernetes, containerized deployments, distributed systems, observability, and secure or air-gapped environments.
  • Experience in defense, aerospace, autonomy, robotics, gaming/simulation, command-and-control, or operational planning domains.
