Professional Rust Developer Jobs in Colorado (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Rust to architect and maintain complex software systems, develop high-performance software for real-time systems, and drive customer success by customizing algorithms for mission-critical applications.
Responsibilities:
• Define and influence the direction of a small team, leveraging your subject-matter expertise in target tracking and state estimation.
• Architect, maintain, and evolve complex software systems, refactoring existing codebases to improve performance, maintainability, and scalability.
• Prototype and deploy state-of-the-art algorithms for tracking, multi-sensor data fusion, and state estimation in agile, iterative development environments.
• Develop high-performance Rust software for real-time systems, ranging from tactical implementations to simulation environments and decision support tools.
• Design and implement robust filters, estimators, and probabilistic reasoning systems that enable actionable insights from noisy, ambiguous, or incomplete sensor data.
• Apply software design patterns and architectural best practices to manage technical debt and guide the evolution of production systems over time.
• Analyze system performance using high-fidelity simulations, innovative modeling tools, and rigorous statistical techniques to validate the benefits of our technology.
• Drive customer success by customizing algorithms and software for mission-critical use cases, including real-time tracking and sensor fusion.
• Integrate tracking and estimation technologies into the broader software development lifecycle, from requirements definition through testing and optimization.
• Translate technical progress into clear, actionable insights for diverse stakeholders, including colleagues and end-users.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience & a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, or other technical field (advanced degree strongly preferred)
• Demonstrated experience managing and evolving software architecture in production environments, including refactoring legacy systems and managing technical debt.
• At least 2+ years working on a single codebase or product, maintaining and expanding it as requirements evolved.
• Strong understanding of software design patterns, architectural principles, and best practices for building maintainable, scalable systems (beyond basic syntax proficiency).
• Proficiency in algorithm design, software development, and statistical modeling; experience with Rust, C/C++, Python, and Matlab is a plus.
• Solid understanding of applied mathematics, including linear algebra, optimization, probability, and stochastic processes.
• Knowledge of signal processing techniques for interpreting diverse sensor data (e.g., radar, lidar, EO/IR).
• Familiarity with big data pipelines, NoSQL databases, and the efficient handling of large-scale sensor data.
• Ability to engineer robust systems for estimation theory, adaptive filtering, controls, and complex signal environments.
• Demonstrated ability to work across development lifecycles, from prototyping to optimizing production systems.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred:
• Experience refactoring and modernizing Rust codebases in production environments.
• Track record of architectural decision-making and technical leadership on long-lived projects.
• Contributions to open-source Rust projects or the broader Rust ecosystem.
• Experience with concurrent and parallel programming patterns in Rust.
• Experience in state estimation, including Bayesian filtering, sensor fusion, and recursive estimation techniques.
• Background in machine learning as applied to target tracking and recognition, including clustering, classification, and anomaly detection techniques.
• Strong knowledge of target tracking techniques, such as Kalman filters, particle filters, and multi-target tracking algorithms (e.g., JPDA, MHT, or PHD filters).
