Senior Compliance Engineer

JOB TITLE: Senior Compliance Engineer LOCATION: Costa Mesa, California, United States DEPARTMENT: Corporate Technology : Information Security : Corporate Assurance

As a Senior Compliance Engineer at Anduril Industries, you will be responsible for driving automation, compliance, and security engineering principles into the design, integration, and operation of Anduril's internal systems. This is a technically hands-on role that requires a strong DevSecOps background with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure security, embedded systems security, and federal compliance frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Policy as Code (PaC) that enforce compliance with NIST SP 800-171 and 800-53, CMMC, and other applicable frameworks, enabling developers to deploy CMMC-certified applications using pre-packaged, compliant infrastructure templates.
• Architect, build, and deploy robust, scalable security controls across Anduril's corporate, development, and production cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and on-premise environments.
• Develop and automate IaC pipelines for managing and scaling cloud deployments securely and efficiently, including automated pipelines for deploying infrastructure, applications, and updates.
• Build automation for procedural compliance controls, generating compliance and audit artifacts at scale without manual intervention.
• Develop security models that integrate Continuous Monitoring (ConMon), DISA STIG scanning, and compliance reporting into a unified, automated workflow.

Compliance Engineering & Framework Implementation

• Analyze, interpret, and operationalize federal and industry cybersecurity regulations, including NIST SP 800-171 and 800-53, CMMC, FedRAMP, and SOC 2, translating regulatory language into actionable engineering guidance and enforceable technical controls.
• Evaluate system architectures and configurations to ensure alignment with required security controls for moderate-impact information systems.
• Interface directly with infrastructure teams to verify and enforce compliance across existing on-premise and cloud stacks, identifying gaps and driving remediation.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Enablement

• Partner with engineers, the DevSecOps Team, and the Automation Team to implement and verify security controls in both corporate and product software environments.
• Act as a force multiplier by embedding security best practices into the workflows of infrastructure, application, and product teams, particularly for environments holding mission-critical data.

Strategic & Advisory

• Develop strategies and implementation plans for compliance-related matters, advising management on risk posture, regulatory changes, and investment priorities.
• Institute best-practice procedures for compliance and risk mitigation across the organization.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional experience in Cloud Security, DevSecOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or a related security engineering role.
• Background in one or more of the following disciplines: Systems Security Engineering, Cybersecurity, Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
• Proven experience building and securing complex cloud environments at scale.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience working with compliance frameworks such as CMMC, NIST SP 800-171 and/or 800-53, and FedRAMP.
