for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Protecting Yourself from Recruitment Scams" etc. Also remove "Location: This role is based in our Mountain View office."? That's location info, but we can keep as short
maybe. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So location can be a short p.
We must include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need sections: About the Team, About the Job, What You’ll Do, Required Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Pay (US Salary Range), Benefits. Possibly also "Location" as a short p but not a heading? Could embed in a p under About the Job? But better to have a short p after headings? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine location into About the Job paragraph.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like responsibilities, qualifications, etc.
We need to format lists: For duties under "What You’ll Do" there are many bullet-like sentences starting with verbs. We should convert each line into
- . Similarly for Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications.
We need to avoid repeating content. Let's extract.
First, "About The Team" paragraph: It's a few sentences. We'll put as
.
Then "About The Job": paragraph(s). We'll combine.
Then "What You’ll Do": list of duties. We'll make
- each.
Then "Required Qualifications": list. We'll make
- .
Then "Preferred Qualifications": list. We'll make
- .
Then "US Salary Range": we have salary range line: "US Salary Range $240,000—$318,000 USD". Also a paragraph about estimate etc. We'll create a Pay section with heading
Pay
and include the salary range and the explanatory paragraph.
Then "Benefits": heading Benefits
and list of benefits: The paragraph describing benefits plus bullet list? The posting says: "Additionally, Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including: At Anduril, we invest in our people. Our comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next. For more information, Explore Our Benefits." That's not a list; it's prose. We'll keep as . No need to invent list.
We must remove the scam warning and other boilerplate.
Also remove duplicated lines: there is a duplicated sentence about "The salary range for this role is an estimate..." appears twice? Actually appears in the Benefits section? Let's check: after "US Salary Range $240,000—$318,000 USD Benefits 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: At Anduril, we invest in our people. Our comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) ensures you’re supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next. For more information, Explore Our Benefits." So we have that paragraph after salary range. We'll keep it once.

What You’ll Do
- Be a key member of Anduril’s small, dynamic Legal Team.
- Drive customer growth by executing new international contracts and growing existing ones.
... etc.
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of work on international commercial contracting and/or international government/defense contracts, defense trade, or U.S. government contracts matters, preferably with a law firm, defense industry, or the government.
- Foreign defense sales experience is a strong preference; we will also consider candidates with strong non-defense international commercial contracting and negotiation experience.
- More senior lawyers are also encouraged to apply, the position may be adjusted based on experience.
- Demonstrated ability to structure and negotiate cross-border commercial agreements — including governing law, dispute resolution/arbitration, payment security, and Incoterms — and familiarity with international defense contracting structures (DCS, and ideally FMS/hybrid vehicles), software acquisition approaches, and data rights
- The judgment and initiative required to make risk-adjusted decisions for the company and own multiple projects from end-to-end, whether guiding the Business Development team through the lifecycle of a deal or handling unexpected legal issues that may arise in defense or start-up companies
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Quick learner and able to contribute to the broader start-up legal function, including topics that may be completely new to you: everything from IP and litigation to financing, securities, compliance, and employment law, depending on the needs of the day
- Licensed to practice law in CA OR eligible to register as in-house counsel under California Rules of Court, Rule 9.46 (available to attorneys licensed and in good standing in another U.S. jurisdiction).
- Location: This role is based in our Mountain View office. Anduril Legal is an in-office team; this is not a hybrid or remote position.
- U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
But location maybe better as a short p not in list. However we can keep as list item; but it's not a qualification. Might be odd. Better to put location as a short p after Required Qualifications or before Benefits. But instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." So we can make a
for location after Required Qualifications.
Thus we will not include location in Required Qualifications list.
Similarly, we might include "U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance." as a qualification item; that's fine.
Now Preferred Qualifications list:
- Experience working with foreign government customers, particularly in Asia-Pacific (e.g. Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Australia, Philippines, Singapore) or the Americas (e.g. Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico).
- Familiarity with regional defense frameworks and sensitivities.
- Regional language capability (Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, or Portuguese)
- Experience with international teaming, agent/representative, or reseller structures, including FCPA-compliant onboarding and due diligence.
- Direct experience with foreign defense sales (DCS and/or FMS) — a strong plus, though not required for candidates with deep international commercial contracting backgrounds.
- Pre-law school professional experience (e.g., military or government)
- Experience with international commercial contracting and negotiations, including international arbitration clauses, sovereign immunity waivers, letters of credit/sovereign payment instruments, and Incoterms.
- Combination of law-firm and in-house or government experience
- Experience with engineering, software, or other technology
- An interest in the law and policy of defense acquisitions with opinions about what is right or wrong in the field and how to fix it
- The ability and grit to operate independently within a rapidly evolving company

US Salary Range $240,000—$318,000 USD
The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only.

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Protecting Yourself from Recruitment Scams" etc. Also remove duplicated lines: there is a duplicated sentence about "The salary range for this role is an estimate..." appears only once now.
Check for any other boilerplate: At the end there is "No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment..." etc. That's part of scam warning; we must remove.
Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive content: The "About The Team" paragraph includes: "Anduril’s Legal Team seeks a Legal Counsel-International to support our international government and commercial businesses and deploy the future technology of defense. In this role, you will work on every aspect of Anduril’s business, from helping the business development team drive new government deals, to negotiating hardware, license and services agreements, offset arrangements, and industrial cooperation obligations, to handling intellectual property, compliance, and related matters. This position is based in Cosa Mesa, CA. This role will be part of Anduril’s Deal Team, which supports the full lifecycle of Anduril contracts and includes government contracts lawyers, contract managers, and proposal managers. This role will directly support Anduril’s Global Defense work in the Asia-Pacific and Americas regions, partnering closely with our International Trade Compliance, Business Development, and Program teams. The Global Defense team aligns against customers and thus works with all of Anduril’s Divisions and products."
We need to preserve that. Note there is a typo "Cosa Mesa, CA" but we keep as is.
Now "About The Job": "In this role, you will be responsible for providing legal review and guidance on issues related to proposals, procurement, contracting strategies, and day-to-day program execution for the applicable Anduril Division in partnership with the Global Defense team. You will have a robust understanding of international commercial and government contracting, including cross-border software, hardware, data rights, and services agreements, and be comfortable owning terms and conditions (T&Cs) redlines and negotiations end-to-end. Familiarity with Direct Commercial Sales (DCS), Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and hybrid FMS/DCS structures is valued, but the primary focus of this role is international commercial transactional work. A working knowledge of U.S. government contracts, the FAR, and DFARS is a useful foundation. 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.
