Anduril Industries
Software Engineer, Agentic Modeling & Simulation
About this role
Anduril seeks a full-stack software engineer to build agentic modeling and simulation systems that accelerate military operational planning. You'll integrate LLMs, multi-agent architectures, and physics-backed simulation engines to create AI-assisted planning tools that reduce planning cycles from days to minutes.
What you'll do
- Build agentic workflows integrating LLM tool use, function calling, and planning loops with simulation engines and mission planning systems
- Design multi-agent architectures modeling human decision-making, adversary responses, and operational constraints in military operations
- Develop backend services for scenario creation, entity tasking, simulation state retrieval, and course-of-action generation
- Improve observability and evaluation for agent behavior to ensure generated scenarios are inspectable and operationally useful
- Partner with warfighters, simulation experts, and autonomy engineers to translate planning workflows into reliable software
- Learn DoD modeling and simulation tools including AFSIM, STORM, and campaign/mission-level simulation concepts
What they're looking for
- Backend service development and API design
- Python or Go proficiency
- LLM integration (tool calling, RAG, structured outputs, agent orchestration)
- AI/ML systems reliability and safety
- Multi-agent system architecture
- Physics simulation and modeling systems
- gRPC/protobuf and Kubernetes (preferred)
- Cross-functional collaboration with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Benefits
- Salary range: $191,000–$292,000 USD
- Work on cutting-edge autonomy and AI technology for national defense
- Collaborate with warfighters and domain experts on high-impact problems
- Opportunity to ship production agentic systems at scale
