About the role
- Anduril's Lattice software platform integrates together many sensors into a single cohesive view of the world, providing needed context for our users.
- Specific applications include but are not limited to automating mission planning, battle-space understanding, voice-control of assets, and enabling higher-levels of autonomy.
- This role sits at the intersection of backend infrastructure, applied AI, agent architecture, model post-training, and evaluation tooling.
Responsibilities
- Own Anduril's internal LLM agent framework, including core abstractions, runtime architecture, developer experience, integrations, and reliability.
- Support multiple business lines building LLM agents by providing new framework capabilities, implementation guidance, architectural reviews, and best-practice patterns.
- Design tooling that supports modern agent patterns, including structured tool calling, filesystem-using agents, memory and retrieval, planning loops, subagents, agent graphs, and human-in-the-loop workflows.
- Work with partner teams to define comprehensive evaluation suites that measure task success, tool-call correctness, trajectory quality, robustness, regressions, and deployment readiness.
- Strong backend engineering experience building production-quality platforms, frameworks, APIs, or infrastructure used by other engineers.
- Deep expertise in LLM agent framework design, including the tradeoffs between different orchestration patterns such as linear agents, graph-based agents, multi-agent systems, planner/executor loops, and tool-heavy agents.
- Ability to work directly with partner teams, understand ambiguous product needs, and turn them into reusable platform capabilities.
- You will build the platform that enables teams across Anduril to develop, evaluate, and deploy reliable LLM agents in mission-critical environments.
- Via Agency Partner: If contacted by a recruiting agency for an Anduril role, their email will clearly identify their agency.
