Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a founding Site Reliability Engineer for the Advanced Capabilities division to design, build, and operate infrastructure for next‑generation wargaming simulations that run massive-scale autonomous systems in contested environments.

You will maintain the simulation software stack, own underlying infrastructure, and build post-release automation. The role requires security clearance eligibility and strong cross-team communication.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in Python for automation, tooling, and test development.
• Working knowledge of C++ to read, debug, build, and trace issues in simulation codebases.
• Solid networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, UDP, multicast, DNS, routing) and troubleshooting.
• Experience maintaining production or production-adjacent systems under time pressure.
• Strong written and verbal communication for escalation and runbooks.
• Eligibility to pass security and background checks for sensitive systems.

Responsibilities

• Maintain the simulation software stack including installation, configuration, updates, version management, and day-to-day functionality across simulation center tools and environments
• Own underlying infrastructure—compute, networking, storage, and environment configuration—keeping systems provisioned, patched, and performant
• Build and maintain post-release test suites with regression and smoke-test automation that runs after every software release to surface integration issues immediately
• Root-cause errors and failures in the system, drive them to permanent resolution, and implement guardrails, monitoring, or process changes to prevent recurrence
• Partner with development teams to review changes for reliability risk, surface concerns early, and implement mitigation strategies before releases
