About the role
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 work
Lattice is the software platform behind Anduril's autonomous systems. The Stateful Systems team owns its data layer: the time-series and storage systems that hold every track, sensor reading, and tasking record the platform produces. This runs in the field on real deployments, so performance and reliability here directly affect whether operators can do their jobs.
The team is small and the current focus is a rebuild of the core systems. It's a good time to join if you want a large surface area and real ownership.
What you'll do
- Time-Series: We're redesigning the time-series engine from the ground up to scale horizontally across many writers and nodes. The near-term requirement is concrete: 350+ sensor towers and tens of thousands of camera feeds, ingesting continuously, with both live and historical queries.
- Distributed storage. High-availability durability (WAL replication, leader election), a pluggable storage-engine layer, and a zero-downtime path to migrate between backends.
- Correctness under partition. These systems sometimes run disconnected. Getting consistency and convergence right when the network is unreliable is a central part of the job.
- Hard distributed-systems problems. Consistency models, replication protocols, compaction and deletion at scale, back pressure, and durability guarantees.
