Application Security Engineer

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 Lattice Foundations organization is responsible for enabling Anduril’s software products to reach a new standard of software excellence. We build tools, operate services, define processes, and develop frameworks to allow Anduril’s engineers and operators to execute at all stages of the software development lifecycle with efficiency, quality, and delight. We adapt industry best practices to the complexities of Anduril’s domain, develop new systems when we can improve on the state of the art, and integrate it all into a unitary foundation underlying Anduril’s software development.

The Application Security team within Lattice Foundations is responsible for building and maintaining the tools and workflows that software engineering teams across Anduril need to improve software security at scale. These tools include systems to avoid, detect, manage, and propose corrections for first party and supply chain vulnerabilities across all the types of software artifacts that Anduril creates and deploys. We aim to reduce the number of vulnerabilities in Anduril's products, to improve the developer experience for security, and to decrease the time and effort required for security audits.
