Senior Software Engineer, Backend - SIG

Job description

Maritime Digital Production (MDP) is the software and digital systems function within Anduril's Heavy Metal division. We build and deploy the full technology stack that powers Anduril's shipbuilding factories: the data infrastructure that makes every machine and sensor visible in real time, the manufacturing execution system (ArsenalOS) that workers and planners use every shift, the scheduling engine that replans production in minutes instead of days, and the AI systems that eliminate manual toil from both the shop floor and business operations.

MDP operates at the boundary between Operational Technology and Information Technology.

This is not a support function. It is a strategic investment…

Job responsibilities

  • Design and implement backend services that orchestrate simulation frameworks, digital twin validation workflows, and V&V automation pipelines.
  • Develop APIs that expose validation results, geometric comparison data, and simulation outputs to downstream consumers including UE5 visualization, quality systems, and operational dashboards.
  • Partner with manufacturing engineers and factory operators to understand production workflows and translate them into backend service requirements.
  • Write production-quality code with comprehensive tests, participating in code review and architectural discussions.
  • Build backend integration layers that retrieve 3D CAD geometry, as-built scan data, quality measurements, and engineering specifications from PLM, MES, and quality management systems.
  • Design and maintain databases optimized for storing simulation results, validation findings, geometric comparison data, and historical V&V records.
  • Implement event-driven architectures that trigger validation workflows when manufacturing milestones occur or design changes are released.
  • Deploy and operate your systems in factory environments, including edge compute clusters and OT networks.

Job requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in a software engineering role building production systems, ideally in a fast-paced environment.
  • Strong expertise in backend software development with foundations in distributed systems and API design.
  • Strong technical fluency in modern software architectures, APIs, distributed systems, CI/CD, and cloud or edge infrastructure.
  • Proficiency in backend programming languages (e.g., Python, Go, Java, Rust).
  • Experience with database management systems including relational (PostgreSQL, MySQL) and NoSQL databases (MongoDB, Redis).
  • Strong understanding of RESTful API design, GraphQL, or gRPC for building scalable service interfaces.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and deploying backend services in production environments.
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) for deploying backend services.
