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. Anduril's family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. 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 TEAM
The Maritime App team builds the full-stack web application (part of Lattice OS) used to control all of Anduril's Maritime products (Dive-LD, Dive-XL, Copperhead, Seabed Sentry, ASV, and more) from nodes in the cloud and laptops in the field. We bring together all the advanced tech from Anduril's Software Platform into a hardened Maritime-focused software stack that's shipped along with our autonomous maritime robots. We're a full-stack web application team building a slick, modern, map-focused React frontend with a Go backend. We leverage Anduril's proprietary mesh networking and distributed storage tech to keep Lattice working smoothly even in extreme network conditions (there's no wifi underwater).
ABOUT THE JOB
We're looking for an experienced frontend/full-stack engineer to shape the future of our web app architecture and infrastructure. Lattice for Maritime is only a couple years old and has a lot of exciting capabilities to build over the coming years! You will lead us in continuously evolving our architecture and best practices to ensure your teammates can continue to build performant and reliable features efficiently. This role requires a solid foundation in web technologies, managing large React codebases, optimizing runtime and build performance, and optimizing communication with the backend.
