Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.

The Imaging team builds and fields state-of-the-art camera and sensor systems deployed to solve real security challenges for the United States and its allies.

We're looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join the Imaging team. This is not a product development role, and it isn't a traditional cloud-SRE role either. You are the frontline for keeping fielded imaging systems alive: the person field personnel and customer-support escalations turn to when a deployed system isn't behaving.

Responsibilities

  • Own fielded system reliability. You are responsible for the health and uptime of deployed imaging systems. When issues arise–whether the root cause is in the network, the calibration, an upgrade, or the sensor hardware itself–you triage, diagnose, and drive resolution.
  • Run point on escalations. You'll be first and second line of response for issues coming through our support channels and Anduril's customer-support pipeline (Tier 0 to Mission Success / Product Operations to SRE), acting as the deep-expertise backstop the rest of the funnel escalates to.
  • Turn fires into runbooks. Recurring issues shouldn't be solved live twice. You'll build and maintain runbooks, diagnostics, and self-service tooling that reduce repeat problems and shrink the support load over time.
  • Hold the boundary with engineering. You own everything short of a code fix. When an issue turns out to be a genuine software defect, you'll cleanly reproduce it, document it, and hand it off to the Mission Software Engineers–protecting their focus by keeping frontline support where it belongs.
  • Feed reliability back into the product. You'll turn what you learn in the field into signals that make our systems more supportable–better observability, safer upgrades, more graceful failure.
  • Travel expected approximately 15% of the time for field support and deployment windows.

Requirements

  • 3+ years in SRE, DevOps, field/systems engineering, or production support of deployed hardware/software systems–with real ownership after systems ship, not just standing them up
  • Strong Linux fundamentals, including comfort troubleshooting real networking issues (IP, routing, VPNs, connectivity in constrained or field environments)
  • Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve issues across system boundaries (networking, services, hardware interaction) without always having full visibility into every component
  • Comfortable owning a structured on-call rotation, including scheduled after-hours and weekend coverage
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to run a remote troubleshooting session with a non-technical operator and document what happened
  • Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting fielded or deployed systems, not just development environments
  • Experience with fielded hardware or sensor systems (EO/IR, optical, or similar), including familiarity with sensor calibration
  • Scripting for diagnostics and automation (Python, Bash, or similar)
  • Familiarity with Nix or NixOS–uncommon, but valuable on our stack
  • Familiarity with systemd service management and observability practices on Linux
  • Familiarity with incident tooling (PagerDuty or equivalent)
