What the job involves
- The Infrastructure Reliability team owns the self-hosted systems that power our engineering organization — including GitHub Enterprise, CircleCI, Artifactory, and others. These services are mission-critical and must be secure, scalable, and highly available
- This team is responsible for ensuring developer tools are continuously patched and upgraded, have reliable and tested backups, and can scale to support a rapidly growing company.
- This is a hybrid role that blends DevOps, SRE, and software engineering — ideal for engineers who enjoy end-to-end ownership and solving complex infrastructure challenges through automation and thoughtful system design
- Own the lifecycle of core self-hosted developer tools (e.g., GitHub Enterprise, CircleCI, Artifactory)
- Design and implement automated systems for patching, backups (with validation), and upgrades
- Scale infrastructure to support a fast-growing engineering org
- Use Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.) to manage environments
- Operate and troubleshoot systems using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)
- Define and maintain SLOs for service availability, reliability, and performance
- Lead and participate in incident response and root cause analysis
- Collaborate with platform, security, and software teams to drive operational excellence
Our take
Anduril makes hardware and software for defense agencies including the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security. Its hardware products include specialist drones with a long flight time and surveillance towers.
This hardware is tied together by proprietary software, the Lattice platform, which uses sensor fusion, machine learning, and mesh networking to integrate real-time data from Anduril hardware and third-party systems into a single, autonomous operating picture. While the hardware observes and detects, the software can make decisions as to the threat level of any anomalies, and so allow for observation and protection of an area or building with minimal manpower.
Anduril closed a Series E funding round in 2022 led by Valor Equity Partners. This funding was used for research and development of its autonomous defense products, such as the Roadrunner, a modular twin-jet powered autonomous vehicle that can take off and land vertically. Variants of the Roadrunner include defensive warhead armed interceptors which are the first drone weapons that can be retrieved after deployment. The company has also expanded to Australia where it is working in tandem with the Australian Defence Force to improve its military technology and infrastructure and is recruiting talent worldwide to support its rapidly growing portfolio of defense projects.
