About the role

Anduril Industries is seeking a Classified Platform Engineer to serve as the technical lead for the classified software team. Role focuses on designing and building platform services and user-facing applications enabling multi-level classified computing in air-gapped environments, from architecture to DevSecOps pipelines.

Responsibilities

  • Act as technical lead for the classified software and platform team: own the architecture of the application portfolio, set the standards the team builds to, and make the tradeoff calls.
  • Design and build production web applications in React and Go that operate fully air-gapped inside accredited classified environments.
  • Develop and work with S3 storage APIs and policies.
  • Build the administrative and operator interfaces for our access control platform, and design the relational and distributed datastores behind authorization decisions, audit records, and application state.
  • Own the DevSecOps path to production: containerize and deploy to Kubernetes through GitOps CI/CD pipelines that scan, sign, and produce the evidence our accreditations require.
  • Decompose multi-quarter programs into well-scoped work other engineers can deliver independently, and grow the engineers who join the team through design review, code review, and pairing.
  • Partner with Cybersecurity, Program Management, and business line stakeholders to capture requirements and translate them into a technical plan delivered on time and on budget.

Qualifications

  • Professional experience building and shipping production web applications with React, or a comparable modern front-end framework, and TypeScript, including interfaces for complex domains where operator workflow matters.
  • Professional experience developing backend services in Go.
  • Experience designing and working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or CockroachDB, including schema design, migrations, and query performance.
  • Experience with containerization and container orchestration (Podman or Docker, and Kubernetes), and with GitOps and Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines in an Agile development process.
  • Knowledge and experience with Linux Operating Systems (OS) such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Rocky Linux, or Ubuntu.
  • Experience leading technical work: owning a system's architecture, reviewing the designs and code of others, setting direction for a small team, and communicating clearly in design documents, tradeoff analyses, and decision records a peer can pick up and act on.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a US Top Secret Clearance with customer's approval. May be required to obtain and maintain a DoD 8140/8570 qualifying certification.
