Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking a staff-level reliability engineer for its Australia-based Corporate Technology team. You will set standards for reliability across cloud, on‑premise, and platform tooling, ensuring accreditation and disciplined design at scale.

Lead automation, drive incidents to structural fixes, mentor engineers, and shepherd ISM/PSPF accreditation across multi‑domain environments while collaborating with software, autonomy, and maritime engineering teams.

Qualifications

• Approximately twelve or more years in infrastructure, reliability or platform engineering with emphasis on practical impact over formal credentials.
• Proven track record of running production toolchains and classified-domain infrastructure end-to-end, with deep knowledge across multiple layers and the ability to set a team standard.
• Authoritative across cloud-native environments (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes) and classified on-premises estates (Windows, Active Directory, VMware, air-gapped).

Responsibilities

• Set the standard for how the estate is run, kept reliable and accredited across cloud, orchestration, operating systems, networking and the application toolchain, ensuring consistency across rotations.
• Be the source of design others build and run from, working at platform scale and anticipating second-order effects and organizational constraints.
• Diagnose systemic reliability issues and drive structural fixes across multiple classification domains, rather than applying only patches.
• Set the team’s automation standard with exemplary code, deliberate choices around safety, idempotency and maintainability.
• Maintain the estate’s ISM/PSPF posture as the team’s authority and guide how accreditation is approached across multi-domain environments.
• Provide thought leadership to apply reliability and secure-toolchain practices across software, autonomy and Maritime engineering teams.
