Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.

What you'll do

• Take a field-reported anomaly (sensor stopped publishing, mission faulted: mid-track, data stream drifted for no obvious reason) and figure out what subsystem it's actually in - not just where it was reported.

• Reproduce it for real. Replay recorded sensor/mission data through the live: pipeline, pull it into visualization tooling, don't guess.

• Use the metrics and log infrastructure that already exists (per-service: metrics, dashboards, centralized logs) to reconstruct system state at the moment things went wrong, instead of re-running until you get lucky.

• Confirm the fix in a simulated environment first, hardware-in-the-loop where: that matters, before it goes anywhere near a real vehicle.

• Write the fix in whatever language the subsystem actually uses: Rust, C++, Python, Go, whatever — with tests, through CI, out through the normal versioned rollout. No special "triage" shortcut path.

• Figure out whether the actual problem is a bug, a bad config, or a deployment: mismatch, and fix it at the layer where it actually lives instead of patching around it one level up.

What they're looking for

• Write down root cause and fix for every issue you close. Not for the: paperwork — so we can see, over months, which subsystems keep breaking and which tests we're missing. Help build the on-call/triage runbook this team doesn't have yet.
• Push back to the owning team when the real fix is "this subsystem needs to: change," not "patch the symptom and move on."
• Real experience debugging code you didn't write, under time pressure, with: incomplete information. This matters more than which language you know best.
• Enough comfort in at least two of Rust, modern C++, Python, Go to read and: fix bugs in them. You don't need to be an expert in all four - you need to not freeze up when you're dropped into one you know less well.
