# Staff Site Reliability Engineer **Company**: Anduril Industries **Location**: Costa Mesa, California **Experience**: staff **Job type**: full-time **Salary**: The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. **Category**: Engineering **Industry**: Technology **Apply**: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/andurilindustries/jobs/5274039007?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply **Canonical**: https://yubhub.co/jobs/job_09d2a8cb-082 ## Description Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. The CorpTech Platform team is the internal engineering force multiplier behind Anduril's corporate systems, driving CorpTech engineering forward through strategic investment in data platforms, software platforms, QA and release excellence, ERP engineering, and AI infrastructure. As a Staff SRE, you will set the reliability architecture for the systems that run Anduril's business and manufacturing operations. You will own the infrastructure and mechanisms that make reliability a property of the platform rather than a function of individual heroics. ## 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. ## Required 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. ## Benefits Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits packages. ## Skills ### Required - site reliability engineering - production engineering - infrastructure engineering - distributed systems - container orchestration (Kubernetes) - cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) - networking - storage - systems programming languages (Go, Python, Rust, or equivalent) ### Nice to have - observability platforms (Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry) - deployment and release-safety infrastructure - reliability engineering for AI-enabled or ML-serving systems - frontier AI tooling - AI coding assistants - hyper growth startup-like environments --- Source: [Apply at job-boards.greenhouse.io](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/andurilindustries/jobs/5274039007?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
