Job description

Senior Site Reliability Engineer, Fleet Infrastructure

Boston, Massachusetts, United States; Washington, District of Columbia, United States

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril products are designed to operate in high stakes environments, in some cases with life-and-death consequences for success or failure. As such, it is critical that Anduril services are reliable and maintainable. This means that all services & infrastructure across the fleet need to be able to be observed & monitored so that our users can trust in their ability to perform their expected functions. The Observability team builds and operates Anduril’s production telemetry plane, aggregating signals from the edge to cloud on our core ground systems & Kubernetes infrastructure.

ABOUT THE JOB

As a Site Reliability Engineer on the Observability team, you will build & operate Anduril’s production telemetry systems for ground & cloud nodes. This includes architecting and designing our core observability plane for high-volume, high-availability telemetry ingestion, and operate/manage our central monitoring and alerting infrastructure. You’ll also build for both cloud-connected as well as off-line/airgapped environments - and ensure a seamless user experience transitioning between both. You’ll also collaborate closely with the Robotics Data Foundation & Fleet Management teams (which own our vehicle telemetry infrastructure as well as our software delivery plane for edge systems) to ensure that monitoring and alerting are first-class primitives supported in both of those products. A critical aspect of this role is determining our monitoring and alerting posture for the core observability system, as well as interfacing with other SRE and software teams across the business to ensure their infrastructure is seamlessly integrated.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Build & operate a robust, high-availability core observability plane — We run Anduril’s centralized observability system for 100s of environments. Engineering teams depend on these systems daily to remain operationally responsible systems - these systems must gracefully scale to meet demand and meet strict uptime requirements.


• Eagerly engage with our customers — We partner closely with engineering teams to understand their needs, gaps of our systems, and proactively engage with them so that our systems continually improve. We actively work to close gaps early on, and maintain a close working relationship with internal customers.


• Enable metrics-driven engineering and seamless investigation of production incidents — the ultimate mandate of the Observability team is to enable our organization to make data-driven decisions in real-time. This also extends to providing the substrate for agentic workflows for root-cause analysis, and enabling users to synthesize information across services and environments when triaging and actioning issues.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 8+ years of experience as a Site Reliability Engineer / related role supporting production systems


• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)


• Familiarity with common container orchestration systems and cloud infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, experience developing and deploying systems on AWS, GCP, or Azure). Experience with infrastructure components of the observability stack is a plus (ClickHouse/ClickStack, Victoria Metrics, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, etc).


• Experience serving as part of an on-call rotation to support high-availability systems


• User-focused engineering mindset - ability to translate user needs into technical solutions while balancing user experience with engineering constraints


• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data
