Software Engineer, Agentic Modeling & Simulation
Anduril IndustriesBase Salary
$191k - $292k/yr
Responsibilities
- Build agentic workflows using natural language, structured tools, APIs, and operator-facing product experiences.
- Design multi-agent architectures modeling human decisions, adversary responses, operational constraints, and plan tradeoffs.
- Integrate LLM tool use, function calling, retrieval, planning loops, evaluation hooks, and guardrails with simulation engines, physics/modeling backends, and mission-planning systems.
- Build backend services and interfaces for scenario creation, entity tasking, simulation-state retrieval, course-of-action generation, plan comparison, and real-time analysis.
- Collaborate with warfighters, modeling and simulation experts, autonomy engineers, game and simulation engineers, and mission software teams.
- Improve observability, reproducibility, and evaluation of agent behavior so scenarios and recommendations are inspectable, explainable, and operationally useful.
- Learn and apply DoD modeling and simulation concepts and tools, including campaign-level simulation, mission-level simulation, wargaming workflows, AFSIM, and STORM.
Requirements
- Production software engineering experience building backend services, APIs, platforms, or integrations around complex stateful systems.
- Hands-on experience building AI/ML or LLM-powered software, ideally including tool or function calling, RAG, structured outputs, agent orchestration, MCP-style interfaces, or model evaluation.
- Proficiency in Python, Go, or a similar backend language, with experience working across service boundaries and integrating external systems.
- A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field.
- Ability to work directly with operators, warfighters, and technical subject-matter experts to translate ambiguous planning needs into product and engineering requirements.
- Strong judgment regarding reliability, safety, observability, and debugging for AI systems in high-stakes environments.
- Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
- Preferred experience with modeling and simulation, physics engines, wargaming tools, autonomy simulation, operations research, planning systems, or human/adversary behavior modeling.
- Preferred experience with DoD modeling and simulation tools or concepts such as AFSIM, STORM, campaign-level simulation, mission-level simulation, or course-of-action analysis.
- Preferred experience shipping production agentic systems rather than only prototypes.
- Familiarity with gRPC/protobuf, Kubernetes, containerized deployments, distributed systems, observability, and secure or air-gapped environments.
- Preferred experience in defense, aerospace, autonomy, robotics, gaming/simulation, command-and-control, or operational planning domains.
Benefits
- Full-time employees receive comprehensive health, recovery, and other benefits available at little to no cost.
