Software Engineer, Game Development

The Lattice Showcase team at Anduril delivers immersive experiences that tell cohesive, compelling stories about how Anduril products accomplish critical missions. Leveraging Sand Table-our internal 3D visualization platform that transforms data into interactive augmented reality environments-we translate complex demonstrations into streamlined, interactive showcases for government and military leaders.

We work across multiple product lines-integrating capabilities from autonomy, hardware, and software-to craft narratives that align all stakeholders around mission outcomes. Our work bridges engineering simulation and compelling storytelling: we take real-world demos running in simulation and transform them into polished, interactive experiences that showcase how our technology delivers mission success.

As a cross-functional team of designers, operators, and integrators, we combine technical depth with narrative craft to demonstrate the full potential of Anduril's capabilities.

As a Software Engineer on the Lattice Showcase team, you will tackle a diverse range of challenges. Your work will ensure seamless integration of Anduril products to achieve critical outcomes. You will work on a fast paced team and have opportunities to watch your creations operate in dynamic environments.

Above all, Software Engineers at Anduril must embody a "Whatever It Takes" mindset-executing tasks expediently, scalably, and pragmatically while prioritizing the mission. You will make sound engineering decisions to deliver high-quality outcomes on time. In addition to building the software, you will work directly with customers to deploy it.
