Staff AI Infrastructure Engineer

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.

The Air Dominance & Strike team at Anduril develops aerial and multi-domain robotic systems. The teamis responsible fortaking products like Fury (unmanned fighter jet) and Barracuda (air-breathing cruise missile) from concept to product. The team also develops Lattice for Mission Autonomy, Anduril’s premier software platform that enables masses of Fury, Barracuda, and other first andthird party robots to collaborate across various missions.

We work in close coordination with specialist teams like Perception, Motion Planning, Hardware, and Test Engineering to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We are looking for software engineers and roboticists excited about creating a powerful autonomy software stack that includes computer vision, motion planning, SLAM, controls, estimation, and secure communications.

We are looking for a founding Staff AI Infrastructure Engineer to architect, build, and scale the end-to-end machine learning platform that powers Anduril’s autonomous systems.

As a Staff Engineer, you will own the technical roadmap for our ML platform. You will build the robust infrastructure, MLOps tooling, and systems architecture required to train, evaluate, host, and serve complex AI models (including LLMs, computer vision, and RL agents) in both cloud environments and air-gapped, offline tactical edge networks. You will be a force multiplier for our AI Research Scientists, optimizing their experimentation velocity and managing the lifecycle of terabytes of multi-modal sensor and simulation data.

Over time, you will help recruit, mentor, and expand this infrastructure engineering team.

Architect the ML Platform: Design, build, and maintain our foundational training, orchestration, and experimentation infrastructure to support state-of-the-art model development.

Optimize AI Researcher Velocity: Actively identify, measure, and eliminate bottlenecks in the ML research lifecycle. Build highly automated tools for hyperparameter tuning, model profiling, and experimentation tracking.

Build Data Pipelines at Scale: Design and scale robust, high-performance ETL pipelines capable of processing terabytes of multi-modal data (video, camera feeds, radar, flight telemetry, and simulation logs) captured from physical assets and test sites.

Deploy Model Serving Infrastructure: Architect high-throughput, low-latency model serving frameworks optimized for both scalable cloud environments and air-gapped, resource-constrained tactical edge environments. Build CI/CD pipelines for ML models with automated validation, canary deployments, and rollback capabilities.

Implement Evaluation & Alignment Loops: Build robust, automated pipelines for continuous evaluation, model validation, and reinforcement learning alignment loops (RLHF/DPO) to guarantee model safety and predictability in high-stakes environments.

Collaborate and Pioneer: Work closely with AI Researchers, Computer Vision teams, and platform engineers to design unified…
