About the role

Staff SRE role setting reliability architecture for Anduril's CorpTech Platform, owning observability, deployment safety, incident management, and reliability at scale across business and manufacturing operations.

Responsibilities

  • Set the reliability architecture for CorpTech Platform’s production environment, including observability infrastructure, deployment systems, incident management, capacity planning, and failure-domain isolation.
  • Design and operate the observability platform, including metrics, distributed tracing, structured logging, alerting, and dashboarding infrastructure that gives engineering teams real production visibility at scale.
  • Own deployment infrastructure and release-safety mechanisms, including progressive rollout systems, canary analysis, automated rollback, and deployment gates that let the organization ship fast without gambling on production stability.
  • Define and govern SLO frameworks that make reliability measurable and actionable, creating shared language between SRE, product engineering, and leadership for making trade-off decisions.
  • Identify systemic reliability risks across the platform and drive infrastructure or automation investments that eliminate entire failure classes rather than patching individual symptoms.
  • Establish production-readiness standards and review processes that engineering teams adopt during design and pre-launch, embedding reliability into the development lifecycle rather than bolting it on after release.
  • Lead incident response for complex, multi-system failures and drive post-incident processes that produce durable systemic improvements rather than shallow fixes.
  • Develop reliability patterns for AI-enabled systems, including monitoring for model behavior drift, non-deterministic output degradation, and graceful fallback under novel failure modes.
  • Provide technical direction to SRE and infrastructure engineers, facilitate cross-team architecture decisions, and represent reliability concerns in platform-level planning and prioritization.
  • Drive capacity planning, cost optimization, and performance engineering for the platform’s critical paths and shared infrastructure.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in site reliability engineering, production engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a closely related discipline, including experience operating at architecture or platform-wide scope.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and owning reliability infrastructure that multiple engineering teams depend on, including observability platforms, deployment systems, or incident management tooling at meaningful scale.
  • Deep technical fluency across distributed systems, container orchestration (Kubernetes), cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), networking, storage, and the failure modes specific to each layer.
  • Proficiency in systems programming languages (Go, Python, Rust, or equivalent) used for building production infrastructure, tooling, and automation.
  • Demonstrated experience defining SRE standards, production-readiness frameworks, or operational maturity models and influencing adoption across engineering teams without formal authority.
  • Track record of leading incident response for complex, multi-system failures and converting post-incident findings into infrastructure investments that prevent recurrence.
  • Proven ability to work independently through ambiguity, define reliability strategy without top-down direction, and sequence investments against competing organizational demands.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence senior engineers, engineering leadership, and cross-functional partners on infrastructure and reliability decisions.
  • Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data.
