Job description

Join to apply for the Senior DevOps Engineer, Space role at Anduril Industries

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company that transforms U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By combining 21st‑century expertise, technology, and a business model from leading tech companies, Anduril changes how military systems are designed, built, and sold. Their family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI‑powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a real‑time, 3‑D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril commits to bringing cutting‑edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

About the Team

The Space team expands Anduril’s AI‑powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners. The team develops integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, addressing growing threats in space and ensuring a decisive advantage in this contested warfighting domain. The Space Domain Awareness Network (SDANet) is the anchor program, scaling its support footprint from a handful to dozens of telescopes and Early Warning Radar systems globally.

About the Job

To achieve SDANet’s mission objectives, a scalable deployment solution is required. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will re‑imagine the infrastructure pipeline that transforms a nascent rollout process into a hardened test and release pipeline, covering pure software testing to hardware, pushing from unclassified to classified spaces and rolling out to a fleet of Kubernetes nodes. You will act as a product manager, speaking to software developers to identify bottlenecks and accelerate velocity, and develop modular CI/CD and developer capabilities to support new programs in the Space organization.
