Résumé du poste

Anduril Industries is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer for its Space team in Costa Mesa, CA. You will own, operate, and harden classified Linux infrastructure across globally distributed, air-gapped environments supporting Space Domain Awareness data for the U.S.

Space Force. You’ll automate provisioning with Ansible/Puppet/Terraform, maintain observability with Prometheus/Grafana/ELK, and lead incident response and deployments in a high-security, mission-critical setting.

Qualifications

• Active U.S. Secret security clearance (non‑negotiable must currently hold and be able to maintain- preferred TS/SCI clearance)
• 5+ years of hands‑on experience with Kubernetes in production environments deploying, scaling, debugging, and managing containerized workloads.
• Expert‑level Linux proficiency you live in the terminal, you understand the OS deeply (networking, filesystems, systemd, SELinux, kernel tuning) but this is an engineering and operations role, not a sysadmin role.
• Proven experience with STIG compliance and system hardening you've applied STIGs, remediated findings, and understand the "why" behind the controls, not just the checklist
• Strong experience standing up infrastructure in air‑gapped/classified environments you understand the unique constraints and have operated in them
• Proficiency with Ansible Puppet and Terraform for building, managing, and versioning infrastructure as code at scale
• Strong scripting ability in Bash and Python writing production‑grade automation, tooling, and operational scripts
• Hands‑on experience with observability tooling Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing distributed systems
• Leadership presence without the title you command respect through competence, directness, and reliability. You can walk into a room, align a group of strong engineers, and drive decisions. You are not a manager, but people follow your lead because you've earned it.
• Strong communication and documentation skills you can translate complex technical problems into clear, actionable language across audiences
• Strong initiative and self‑direction in isolated, secure environments
• Understanding of software development practices including version control (Git), code review, testing, and agile methodologies
• Enthusiasm for transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology in space environments

Responsabilités

• Serve as a senior technical subject matter expert on a growing Product Operations team supporting a live, operational DoD system, helping set the standard for how the team operates, communicates, and solves problems
• Stand up, harden, and maintain classified Linux-based infrastructure across globally distributed sites in air‑gapped environments
• Apply and enforce STIG compliance and system hardening standards across all deployed environments this is not checkbox work, you will own the security posture
• Build, maintain, and evolve infrastructure as code using Ansible/Puppet automating provisioning, configuration management, and deployment pipelines
• Write and maintain operational tooling, automation scripts, and workflow optimizations in Bash and Python
• Architect and maintain comprehensive observability across the stack using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK Stack for distributed systems
• Manage and operate containerized workloads in Kubernetes at scale in production, classified environments
• Provide real‑time incident response, rapid root‑cause analysis, and resolution of complex issues spanning application code and backing infrastructure
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Software Engineering, Mission Ops, and TPMs to validate operational readiness of new deployments, features, and integrations
• Provide 24x7 on‑call support as part of a team supporting the Space Domain Awareness mission on behalf of the United States Space Force
• Drive continuous improvement proactive automation, system optimization, and process refinement with minimal supervision and strong judgment on when to escape
