About the role

Anduril Industries is seeking the founding Site Reliability Engineer to design, build, and operate the infrastructure for next-generation military wargaming facilities, ensuring simulations run reliably at scale across hardware, simulation software, and distributed systems. The role is Abu Dhabi-based with initial hiring in London, UK, and candidate relocation required.

Responsibilities

  • Maintain the simulation software stack - installation, configuration, updates, version management, and day-to-day functionality across the Simulation Center's tools and environments.
  • Own the underlying infrastructure - compute, networking, storage, and environment configuration that the simulation depends on; keep it provisioned, patched, and performant.
  • Build and maintain a post-release test suite - design, automate, and continually extend a regression and smoke-test process that runs after every software release or configuration change, so integration issues surface immediately rather than mid-exercise.
  • Forecast, diagnose, and eliminate failure modes - root-cause errors and bugs in the system, drive them to permanent resolution, and implement the guardrails, monitoring, or process changes that prevent recurrence.
  • Partner with development teams and stakeholders - review upcoming changes for reliability risk, surface concerns early, and implement mitigation strategies before releases land in the simulation environment.
  • Monitor overall system health - instrument and watch the environment, triage issues within your scope, and escalate clearly and quickly with the context needed for others to act when an issue exceeds your ability to resolve it.
  • Document what you learn - runbooks, known issues, environment configuration, and release validation results, so the Simulation Center's operational knowledge isn't held in one person's head.

Qualifications

  • Proficiency in Python for automation, tooling, and test development.
  • Working knowledge of C++; enough to read, debug, build, and trace issues in the simulation codebase.
  • Solid general networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, UDP, multicast, DNS, routing, firewalls, and the ability to diagnose latency, packet loss, and connectivity problems across distributed systems.
  • Experience with project management, issue tracking, bug triage, and coordinating work across engineering teams.
  • Demonstrated experience maintaining production or production-adjacent systems, including troubleshooting under time pressure.
  • Strong written and verbal communication; you can escalate an issue, explain a root cause, and write a runbook someone else can follow.
  • Eligibility to pass the security and background check requirements for sensitive information systems.
