About the role

Staff Analytics Engineer role at Anduril Industries focused on building data models and ontologies, leading within a lightweight IC/leadership capacity, and delivering data-driven solutions beyond dashboards.

Responsibilities

  • There is no such thing as a pure manager at Anduril - you'll demonstrate your ability to be both an IC and a people manager.
  • Become the Trusted Partner for end to end date flows - your job doesn't end at the boundary of the data warehouse but instead in the business outcome.
  • Become an expert in the domain areas of your direct reports and provide them guidance, mentorship, and support.
  • Lead the building of Anduril’s ontology for a specific domain such as Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, People, and Sustainment
  • Collaborate with stakeholders, collecting requirements, and writing the code that results in Secure, Timely, Accurate, Trusted, and Extensible Data Models
  • Seek out problems that can be solved with data and proactively work with the organization to make it a reality
  • Become a trusted resource for Anduril leadership in helping them run their organizations more effectively
  • Palantir Foundry is our central hub for data driven applications, visualizations and large scale data analysis across the Anduril org. We manage a large user base and provide true data self service at scale.
  • We use SQLMesh for data transformations, giving our engineers the ability to work with SQL while enjoying software engineering best practices like version control, testing, and CI/CD for data pipelines.
  • For querying data, we utilize Athena, an aws serverless solution that allows our team to run analytics directly on our data lake without managing infrastructure.
  • We've implemented Apache Iceberg as our table format, providing advanced data management capabilities like schema evolution and time travel queries.
  • We use Flyte for orchestration. It is a highly scalable, kubernetes native modern orchestration platform similar to Airflow or Dagster.
