Technical Site Reliability Engineer

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company building AI-powered military systems. As the founding Site Reliability Engineer for the Advanced Capabilities division, you will design, build, and operate infrastructure for next-generation wargaming simulation facilities that run massive-scale simulations of autonomous systems in contested environments.

• Maintain the simulation software stack including installation, configuration, updates, version management, and day-to-day functionality across simulation center tools and environments
• Own underlying infrastructure—compute, networking, storage, and environment configuration—keeping systems provisioned, patched, and performant
• Build and maintain post-release test suites with regression and smoke-test automation that runs after every software release to surface integration issues immediately
• Root-cause errors and failures in the system, drive them to permanent resolution, and implement guardrails, monitoring, or process changes to prevent recurrence
• Partner with development teams to review changes for reliability risk, surface concerns early, and implement mitigation strategies before releases

• Proficiency in Python for automation, tooling, and test development
• Working knowledge of C++ to read, debug, build, and trace issues in simulation codebases
• Solid general networking fundamentals including TCP/IP, UDP, multicast, DNS, routing, and firewall configuration with ability to diagnose latency, packet loss, and connectivity problems
• Experience maintaining production or production-adjacent systems and troubleshooting under time pressure
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for escalation, root cause explanation, and runbook documentation
• Eligibility to pass security and background check requirements for sensitive information systems

• Experience with modeling and simulation, wargaming, or distributed simulation standards such as DIS, HLA, TENA and platforms like AFSIM or VBS
• Test automation and CI/CD experience including building automated validation pipelines
• Infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Docker, and Kubernetes
• On-premises and cloud deployment experience
• Observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK
• Linux systems administration depth with comfort in mixed Linux and Windows environments
• Prior work in defense, aerospace, or classified environments
• Active security clearance
