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
The Counter Intrusion MSE team develops systems that provide force protection capabilities, monitoring the perimeter of secure areas, land or sea, for approaching people, vehicles, and vessels. We live in a world where security officers are increasingly overwhelmed by sensor data feeds. Our products leverage advanced sensor fusion and autonomy to seamlessly render activity in the environment to Lattice's common operating picture. This relieves operators of our system from a ton of burden and allows our customers to get more done with fewer personnel. Increasingly Counter Intrusion MSEs are working on projects to bring customers' existing legacy security systems into the Lattice ecosystem. Key to this effort is building scalable software solutions so that we can service many customers without requiring bespoke software for each one. The Counter Intrusion team is responsible for the development, testing, deployment, and sustainment of our family of systems. We work closely with other teams from product, engineering, sales, logistics, operations, and mission success.

Run root-cause analysis on incidents
Develop automations to cut manual toil, e.g. tooling to roll out config and software updates safely across the fleet
Plan and run staged software, firmware, and configuration rollouts
Review incident trends, find recurring failure modes and process gaps, and write or maintain runbooks and troubleshooting guides
Give hardware and software teams feedback on system and subcomponent reliability
Take part in on-call or escalation rotations for operational events

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

3+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, systems engineering, or a similar role running production infrastructure
Strong Linux skills: systemd, journald/log analysis, SSH-based remote debugging, and shell scripting
Solid networking knowledge: TCP/IP, VLANs, DHCP/ARP, firewalls, and troubleshooting connectivity issues
Experience with observability tools (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar)
Proficiency in Python, Rust, or a similar language for automation and tooling
Experience with incident response, root cause analysis, and writing clear postmortems and runbooks
Comfort working across hardware and software boundaries
Strong communication and the ability to coordinate with field technicians, engineers, and operations teams under time pressure
Eligible to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience managing fleets of embedded or edge devices (IoT, robotics, telecom, or defense systems)
Experience with embedded compute platforms
Familiarity with NixOS
Knowledge of sensor systems (cameras, radar, GPS/GNSS) and of power systems (solar, batteries, generators, power controllers)
Experience with RF and mesh radios, Starlink, or LTE backhaul
Prior experience in defense, aerospace, or border and critical infrastructure security
