Rust Startup Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

Anduril's Tactical Recon & Strike (TRS) is a division with two missions: 1) build highly capable autonomous drones, and 2) build solid rocket motors at scale. We transform products like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt, and Altius from early concepts into fully operational capabilities by partnering closely with specialist engineering, operations, and production teams. Through our Anduril Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team, we design and manufacture solid rocket motors using advanced materials, proprietary formulations, and high-volume production methods-delivering safe, reliable propulsion systems that support a wide range of mission requirements. TRS hires software engineers & hardware engineers, who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfolio-from autonomous aerial systems to high-performance solid rocket motors. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous robotics systems and propulsion products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environment.

This position is on the TRS Core Infrastructure team and will be focused on building the infrastructure to field TRS Products such as Altius, Ghost, Bolt and Anvil. Our charter is to provide the foundation for teams across Anduril to deploy cutting edge TRS autonomy and to tie it all together into an easy-to-use product. The solutions that you will create address the current needs of our customers and will have immediate impact towards the success of our products.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design, build, test, and release the tools used during manufacturing and deployment of Anduril Products.
• Help define foundational software architectures, configuration processes, and user experience workflows for our products, working directly with chief engineers, program managers, flight test engineers, and end-user customers to demonstrate capability and iterate on feedback.
• Create solutions in Python/Rust/C++/Go that integrate into software product lifecycle technologies like NixOS/CircleCI/Docker.
• Interface with engineers developing every aspect of the system from low-level Linux drivers to cutting edge autonomy and streamlined user interfaces.
• Test and evaluate your software at multiple levels of rigor using simulations, benchtop hardware, and live flight assets.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• At least 3+ years working with a variety of programming languages such as Python, Rust, C++, Go, etc.
• Have experience working with customers to deliver novel software capabilities.
• Want to work on building the tools that technicians, engineers, and operators will use to prepare Altius for real-world missions.
• Are passionate about user experience and always strive to provide the most streamlined product.
• Have an intuition for finding solutions to complex problems that involve multiple first and third party technologies (related to simulation, data management, compute infrastructure, networking, and more).
• Enjoy collaborating with team members and partners in the autonomy domain, and building technologies and processes which enable users to safely and rapidly develop and deploy autonomous systems at scale.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• You've built or invented something: an app, a website, game, startup.
• Previous experience working in an engineering setting: a startup (or startup-like environment), engineering school, etc.
• Professional software development lifecycle experience using tools such as version control, CI/CD systems, etc.
• A deep, demonstrated understanding of how computers and networks work, from a single desktop to a multi-cluster cloud node (UDP, TCP, gRPC, REST, etc.).
• Understanding of Linux kernel architecture: Familiarity with device trees, bootloaders, and other kernel components.
• Experience creating infrastructure for robots or other complex embedded devices.
• Experience building scalable 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).
• Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases.
• Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (e.g. CircleCI, Docker, NixOS, Terraform).
• Experience designing complex software systems, and iterating upon designs via a technical design review process.
• Familiarity with industry standard monitoring, logging, and data management tools and best practices.
• A bias towards rapid delivery and iteration.
