ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril’s Geospatial Platform (Terra) team owns geospatial cloud infrastructure, geospatial edge software, as well as geospatial data.

This will require you to work across many business lines inside of Anduril to understand their needs and to synthesize solutions that can be used by the entire company. If you're hands-on, think long-term, and are dedicated to delivering indispensable software platforms, this role is for you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Build data ingestion pipelines that process large geospatial datasets
• Create a platform that lets users access geospatial data
• Build edge software that enables high performance offline access to geospatial data

• A deep, demonstrated understanding of how computers and networks work, from a single desktop to a multi-cluster cloud node
• Experience building scalable backend software systems with various data storage and processing requirements
• Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases
• Experience implementing robot or autonomous vehicle testing frameworks in a software-in-the-loop or hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) environment
