Senior Site Reliability Engineer, Space

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's Space team is dedicated to expanding our AI-powered capabilities into the final frontier, enhancing Space Domain Awareness, Space Control, and Command and Control for U.S. military and allied partners. We're developing fully integrated hardware and software systems, including Lattice for Space Missions and modular payloads, to address growing threats in space and ensure our Guardians maintain a decisive advantage in this contested warfighting domain.

The Space Domain Awareness Network (SDANet) is the anchor program in the Space organization, growing it's support footprint from a handful to dozens of telescopes and Early Warning Radar systems globally. We work with mission partners and operators to deploy reliable and robust capabilities on operationally-relevant fielding timelines to meet complex challenges across the DOD.

ABOUT THE JOB
For SDANet to meet its mission objectives, a scalable deployment solution must be reached. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will re-imagine the infrastructure pipeline required to convert a nascent rollout process into a hardened test and release pipeline. An end-to-end solution involves developing a through line from pure software testing, to hardware, that is pushed from unclassified to classified spaces and rolled out to a fleet of Kubernetes nodes.

You will be expected to wear the hat of a product manager, speaking to software developers, to discern bottlenecks in the development process to accelerate their velocity. You will develop modular CI/CD and developer capabilities to support newly formed programs in the Space organization.
