Sr. Analytics Engineer

Anduril Industries•Costa Mesa, CA

13h

About The Position

The Analytics team is responsible for modeling our internal data into reusable entities that generalize how Anduril operates. From those entities we build workflows, dashboards, and metrics that drive better and faster decision-making. You will work with stakeholders from across the company to understand how Anduril functions and model our data to create the digital twin of our operations. The Analytics space is engrained in our team’s DNA, as we regularly discuss shifts in the industry and keep up with the top relevant blogs. If this culture and Anduril’s mission speaks to you, you’ve found the right place. We’re looking for people who love ontologies - defining domains and writing the code that puts those models into action. Ideally you are passionate about the next generation of defense technology and love building efficient and understandable data models. You prioritize velocity and are interested in pushing the frontiers of what analytics can do within an organization - think data applications rather than just dashboards.
