Role Overview
This senior-level Chief Engineer role involves designing, building, and operating large-scale, software-defined systems that integrate hardware and software for fleet management and edge computing. Day-to-day responsibilities include writing production code, developing low-level systems software, and managing distributed fleets with a focus on observability, updates, and real-time control. The hire will lead foundational systems within the Connected Warfare team, impacting defense technology by enabling machine-speed decision-making in contested environments.
Perks & Benefits
The role is based in Seattle, implying on-site work, but may offer flexibility typical in tech roles. It provides opportunities for career growth through leadership in a rapidly scaling team, with a focus on cutting-edge autonomy, AI, and defense technology.

Full Job Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. 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 Connected Warfare Division is developing a first of it's kind Battlefield Edge Cloud and Platform for the tactical edge, where connectivity is contested, latency costs lives, and resilience defines victory. Built on Anduril's field-proven Menace and Voyager systems, and powered by the company's Lattice orchestration framework and distributed Fabric and Data Mesh, the platform allows warfighters, allies, and partners to deploy applications, share data, and make decisions at machine speed—even when disconnected.
The Connected Warfare team is rapidly scaling and is looking for engineering leaders to drive the strategy and execution of our foundational that supports a wide range of connected warfare applications, from early prototypes to customer incubation to world-wide release.
ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a Chief Engineer with deep systems experience to build and operate large-scale, software-defined systems that tightly integrate software and hardware. This role is for someone who is highly hands-on, writes production code daily, and enjoys working close to the metal while still thinking at fleet and platform scale. You will design, build, and operate the foundational systems that manage, observe, update, and control distributed fleets of devices and services in real-world environments.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design and implement low-level and systems software that interfaces directly with hardware, operating systems, and networking layers
- Build scalable fleet management systems for provisioning, configuration, updates, health monitoring, and lifecycle management
- Develop observability infrastructure including metrics, logs, traces, and health models for large distributed systems
- Own services end-to-end: architecture, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and operational excellence
- Debug complex issues across software, OS, and hardware boundaries
- Collaborate closely with hardware, platform, and product teams to deliver integrated solutions
- Raise the engineering bar through design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring
