Responsibilities

Senior Mission Data Platform Engineer

to design, build, and operate the foundational data infrastructure that empowers our analytics and engineering teams.

In this role, you will be the architect of a scalable, reliable, and easy-to-use platform that enables analytics engineers, data scientists, and software engineers to build high-impact analyses and data-driven applications.

You will combine deep expertise in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and modern data systems to create a cohesive ecosystem.

Applying Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles will be key to ensuring the performance and availability of these critical systems, which operate in both commercial cloud and classified environments.

You will collaborate closely with platform users to understand their needs and remove friction, ensuring our data capabilities are a force multiplier for the entire organization.

Team

We build robots that find other robots and knock them out of the sky. At a time when air superiority can no longer be taken for granted, the Air Defense (AD) Team provides mission critical capabilities to warfighters. From detection to tracking, identification, deterrence, and defeat, our family of networked sensors and effectors enables our customers to rapidly close the kill chain against a broad range of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) threats. Working across product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success, the Air Defense team develops, tests, deploys, and sustains the Anduril Air Defense Family of Systems (FoS) in challenging operational environments worldwide.
