Job description
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 mission of Anduril’s Air Dominance and Strike Division is to fundamentally reshape the way future peer to peer conflicts are fought by developing next generation collaborative combat aircraft, advanced effects, and the software that powers these autonomous weapons. The AD&S Operations team is a small but mighty team of business generalists who enable the division to scale through hyper-growth while breaking as few things as possible.
- Develop CEO-level operating judgment by partnering with Air Dominance & Strike leadership to deploy talent across programs — managing competing priorities while mitigating delivery risk
- Run real-time portfolio triage when a major contract accelerates or a critical hire falls through — you're the one re-optimizing talent deployment to protect delivery
- Build the models that turn strategy into execution, creating tools leaders use to answer: "what breaks if we move 20 engineers from Program A to Program B?"
- Work directly with Finance on forecasts, gross margin, and long-range plans — you'll learn to speak CFO whether you come from finance or not
- Gain rare cross-functional access by owning the resource deep-dives and strategy reviews where Engineering, Finance, and Program Management make critical trade-offs
- You solve complex, cross-functional problems with high ownership, high EQ, and low ego
- You're detail-oriented, data-driven, and an exceptionally fast learner
- You have 2+ years experience in an operating role at a high-growth company, finance, consulting, or founding your own venture
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in the majority of full time offers; and are considered part of Anduril's total compensation package. Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including:
