ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril Intelligence Systems (AIS) is a lead provider of highly specialized engineering products for Intelligence Community (IC) customers. We work within the IC to understand their requirements and shape concepts of operation. We design, develop, and deliver exquisite capability across their mission set using commercially available and custom hardware and software. We provide critically needed capabilities that address our customers’ most pressing national security requirements. 

ABOUT THE JOB

If you are a Senior Software Engineer with strong software development expertise and DevOps capabilities supporting mission-critical infrastructure products in air-gapped and security-hardened environments, this role is for you. This hybrid role bridges software engineering and site reliability engineering, requiring both the ability to understand, modify, and extend complex internal infrastructure codebases and the DevOps knowledge to deploy, configure, and maintain these systems in disconnected environments.

As the software engineer closest to our customers and deployment environments, you will work at the intersection of product development and operations. You'll have access to core product codebases and will make targeted modifications to support air-gapped deployments, while collaborating closely with commercial product teams to ensure feature parity and reliability.

This role demands a "Whatever It Takes" mindset—you'll need to be equally comfortable debugging C++ code, designing Terraform configurations, troubleshooting networking issues in classified environments, and building automation tooling to scale deployments

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Software Development:

• Access and modify core infrastructure product codebases (C++, Python, or similar languages) to enable functionality in air-gapped and sovereign cloud environments
• Debug production issues in infrastructure software, identify root causes, and implement fixes that work within disconnected network constraints
• Collaborate with commercial product teams to understand upcoming features, assess air-gap compatibility, and close parity gaps between commercial and air-gapped deployments
• Write clean, well-tested, and well-documented code that passes security reviews and maintains system reliability

DevOps & Infrastructure Management:

• Own end-to-end deployment of infrastructure products in air-gapped environments, from initial provisioning through production operations
• Configure and optimize Linux systems, containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), and networking for mission-critical applications
• Build automation solutions to eliminate manual toil in deployment, configuration management, and system updates

Monitoring, Observability & Reliability:

• Create custom metrics and dashboards to track system health, performance, and security in disconnected environments
• Perform data-driven root cause analysis on complex distributed systems to identify and resolve reliability issues

Cross-Team Collaboration:

• Work with commercial product teams to advocate for air-gap-friendly architectures and flag deployment challenges
• Collaborate across multiple teams to plan feature integration, test complex functionality, and coordinate releases
• Contribute to establishing deployment best practices and reusable patterns across product lines
• Document deployment procedures, architectural decisions, and troubleshooting guides for knowledge sharing

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Strong engineering background from industry or school, ideally in areas/fields such as Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics.
• Experience with C/C++, Go, and other common Object-Oriented languages – C/C++ strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated experience modifying and debugging large, complex codebases with minimal oversight.
• Strong Linux systems administration skills, including system configuration, performance tuning, and troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience with containerization (Docker) and container orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and build systems (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or similar)
• Networking knowledge including TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls, and troubleshooting connectivity issues
• Experience working in constrained or air-gapped development environments and understanding the unique challenges they present
• Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases
• Strong problem-solving skills with ability to solve complex technical problems with little oversight
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical documentation and stakeholder engagement
• Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience supporting infrastructure software (databases, orchestration systems, command & control platforms, etc.) in production environments
• Cloud platform expertise (Azure, AWS, GCP – AWS strongly preferred) with understanding of sovereign/government cloud environments
• Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, ELK Stack, Azure Data Explorer, Splunk, or Datadog
• Scripting and automation expertise in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for operational efficiency
• Understanding of distributed systems architecture and debugging techniques
• Experience with security scanning, compliance automation, and secrets management in secure environments
