Anduril Industries builds advanced autonomous systems and defense technology to protect US and allied forces. Creating the future of national security through AI, robotics, and cutting-edge engineering. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and a16z.
About the role
Sentry Towers are deployed to secure perimeters, some in contexts where the tower itself is a sensitive asset and physical access by an adversary is a realistic threat. That makes product security a hardware-and-software problem, not a policy exercise: if someone can pull a drive, attach a serial cable, plug in USB, or interrupt the bootloader, the design has to hold. We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to own product security for the tower platform. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years of professional software engineering with a security focus on Linux or embedded systems
- Hands-on experience implementing a secure boot chain: code signing, chain of trust, UEFI Secure Boot or an equivalent vendor secure boot implementation
- Practical cryptographic engineering skills: PKI and certificate hierarchies, HSM or PKCS#11-backed signing, key lifecycle management, and full-disk encryption
- Strong Linux internals knowledge, particularly in patching, boot flow, kernel and initrd, systemd, privilege boundaries, and filesystem and device access control
- Proficiency in C or Rust, plus the ability to work fluently in shell
- Practical hardening and vulnerability-management experience on real systems: attack-surface reduction, CVE triage on a deployed fleet, and live patching strategies that don’t break the product
More about this 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.
The Sentry Tower Software team develops robotic systems that provide force protection capabilities, monitoring the perimeter of secure areas, land or sea, for approaching people, vehicles, and vessels. We live in a world where security officers are increasingly overwhelmed by sensor data feeds. Our products leverage advanced sensor fusion and autonomy to seamlessly render activity in the environment to Lattice’s common operating picture.
