About The Position

As a Site Reliability Engineer in Anduril Cyber, you will solve a wide variety of problems involving networking, systems integration, distributed systems, and more, while making pragmatic engineering tradeoffs along the way.

You will work closely with software developers, customers, and external vendors to get working offensive Cyber products into the hands of customers.

What you observe on site is the primary input to our team's roadmap. Site Reliability Engineers must be driven by a "Whatever It Takes" mindset - executing in an expedient, scalable, and pragmatic way while keeping the mission top-of-mind and making sound decisions to deliver successful outcomes on-time and with high quality.
