About the role

AI Solutions Engineer role embedded in Talent Operations Systems to own AI and automation across Anduril's Talent Acquisition function, building AI agents and tooling to improve recruiting efficacy and efficiency, while managing roadmap, governance, and stakeholder communication.

Responsibilities

  • Build AI agents and automations that solve real recruiting problems — sourcing, screening, outreach, scheduling, candidate research, pipeline operations, reporting — with measurable ROI tied to recruiter time saved, funnel improvements, or hiring outcomes.
  • Own TA's AI and automation roadmap end-to-end — prioritization, sequencing, communication, and progress read-outs to TA leadership and stakeholders.
  • Partner closely with Corporate Technology to align with AI tooling, model access, infrastructure, security posture, and roadmap — design solutions that ride those rails.
  • Form and defend a clear point of view on where AI and automation will drive value across the recruiting function, and surface opportunities proactively.
  • Lead rigorous build-vs.-buy assessments — evaluating vendors, internal platforms, and custom builds against scalability, total cost, safety, compliance, and long-term maintainability.
  • Ship pragmatically — strategically prioritized initiatives most of the time, plus fast, home-grown solutions for ad hoc requests when appropriate.
  • Partner with the TA Enablement team to drive baseline AI literacy — training, documentation, prompt patterns, guardrails, best practices for recruiters and sourcers.
  • Own safety, compliance, and governance posture of every AI and automation system — PII handling, RBAC, audit trails, model risk, data residency, ITAR/CUI considerations where applicable.
  • Define and instrument success metrics for every shipped system — adoption, time saved, quality, error rates, cost per outcome — and retire underperforming systems.
  • Establish lightweight engineering practices for the function — version control, testing, evals, deployment, monitoring to ensure durable AI work.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of hands-on technical experience building production software, with at least 1–2 years focused on applied AI / LLM-based systems (agents, tool use, RAG, evaluations, automations)
  • Genuinely curious about the recruiting / TA domain (prior experience strongly preferred) — willing to sit with recruiters and sourcers, learn their workflows, and build for their problems
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals — APIs and integrations, version control, testing, CI/CD, basic infrastructure, and deployment
  • Production experience building AI agents or LLM-driven automations for use across a growing team (250+ people) — including prompt design, tool use, retrieval, evaluation, and failure mode handling
  • Experience integrating with SaaS APIs and stitching workflows across multiple tools — familiarity with reading API docs, handling auth, rate limits, pagination, and webhooks
  • Ability to identify high-leverage opportunities in an operational function, ship working systems, and quantify impact
  • Strong build-vs-buy judgment — ability to rigorously evaluate vendors and internal platforms on scalability, cost, safety, compliance, and maintainability
  • Comfort owning an end-to-end roadmap — prioritization, clear communication to non-technical leadership, and written read-outs
  • Strong written and verbal communication — ability to explain technical tradeoffs to recruiting leadership and translate pain into technical scope
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities
