ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a Legal Counsel to join our rapidly growing team in Washington, DC or Costa Mesa, CA to support Anduril’s Frontier Systems Division, Air Defense and Counter-Intrusion Business Lines, with a focus on the full spectrum of United States government contracts. This includes: providing legal oversight to proposals, procurement, advising on data rights and contract structures, giving legal guidance to existing business areas, and crafting legal and business strategies. This role will partner closely with customers, outside counsel, and business partners across the organization to support business development and legal operations.

Anduril is a fast-growing company at the early stages of growth. Consistent with this fast growth, members of Anduril’s Legal Team must be resourceful, creative, and eager to take ownership of complex matters. The Legal Counsel-Government Contracts role will require creativity and resourcefulness to navigate the US Government’s complex procurement and compliance rules, with a singular focus on helping Anduril deploy its path-making technology into operational settings for the United States and its allies. In addition to helping capture and execute new government deals, you will work on all other aspects of Anduril’s business, from negotiating license and services agreements, to bid protests and litigation, to handling intellectual property, compliance, and employment matters. Experience across all of these areas is not expected, but a willingness to learn and adapt is.

Our team is passionate about the law and policy of defense technology and you should have an independent interest in the key issues in this field. Anduril fosters a diverse, collaborative, culture with tremendous opportunities for ownership and professional growth.
