Job summary

Anduril Industries in the United Kingdom is seeking a founding Site Reliability Engineer to design, build, and operate the infrastructure for large-scale autonomous simulations. The role sits at the intersection of hardware, simulation software, and distributed systems in a fast-moving defense technology environment.

This hands-on position requires diagnosing issues under time pressure, building regression tests, and collaborating with development teams to ensure reliability before releases.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in Python for automation, tooling, and test development.
• Working knowledge of C++; read, debug, build, and trace issues in the simulation codebase.
• Solid general networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, UDP, multicast, DNS, routing, firewalls, and diagnosing latency across distributed systems.
• Experience with project management, issue tracking, bug triage, and coordinating across engineering teams.
• Demonstrated experience maintaining production or production-adjacent systems, including troubleshooting under time pressure.
• Strong written and verbal communication; you can escalate an issue, explain a root cause, and write a runbook someone else can follow.
• Eligibility to pass the security and background check requirements for sensitive information systems.

Responsibilities

• Maintain the simulation software stack across environments.
• Own the underlying infrastructure: compute, networking, storage, and environment configuration.
• Build and maintain a post-release test suite with regression and smoke tests.
• Forecast, diagnose, and eliminate failure modes and implement guardrails.
• Partner with development teams to review changes for reliability risks.
• Monitor overall system health and triage issues with escalation as needed.
• Document learnings, runbooks, known issues, and release validation results.
