Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
The T&E Data Operations team builds the data infrastructure and analytical tools that power Anduril's Test & Evaluation (T&E) function & turning telemetry, test records, and incident data into consistent, automated views of how our systems are performing across the fleet.
You'll take defined workstreams end-to-end & ingestion pipelines, data models, dashboards, and the small services that tie them together & so the team can run more of them in parallel.
Responsibilities
- Own data workstreams end-to-end & from ingestion of source data (JIRA, telemetry, Airtable, Odoo, etc.) through Foundry transforms and ontology modeling to the dashboards and tools that consume them
- Build and maintain Foundry pipelines (PySpark transforms), data models, and data quality checks across
- Build internal-facing dashboards and analytics products (Streamlit, Workshop) that serve flight test engineers, middle management, and leadership
- Write small production services (Python or Go) when integrations demand it & webhooks, bridges, daemons & and partner with the broader SWE organization when the work belongs with them
- Partner directly with product-line T&E leads, software engineering teams, and infrastructure teams to align on data contracts, ingestion patterns, and shared priorities
- Write clear design docs and RFCs that align stakeholders around technical decisions before code ships
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years of data engineering, platform engineering, or equivalent experience owning data systems end-to-end
- Strong Python and SQL; experience with DataFrame-based transforms (Pandas, PySpark, Polars, or similar)
- Experience owning a data pipeline or integration end-to-end & from ingestion through to a downstream consumer (dashboard, service, or model)
- Hands-on experience integrating with REST APIs, webhooks, or third-party data sources
- Experience building internal-facing dashboards or analytics products (Streamlit, Plotly Dash, Workshop, Tableau, Looker, or similar) & owning the full stack from data to UI
- Comfortable working on a small team (1-3 people) where scope is fluid and you're often the only person on your piece of work
- Think like a data product owner & when building a pipeline or model, you can independently reason about what questions it needs to answer downstream, not just what data to move
- Write clearly & design docs, decision memos, or technical RFCs that align stakeholders, not just documentation after the fact
- Actively use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or similar) as part of your daily workflow & integrated into how you build, debug, and write, not occasional help
- U.S. Persons status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with Palantir Foundry & transforms, ontology, Workshop, Streamlit
- Experience in robotics, aerospace, defense, or hardware-adjacent data environments
- Comfortable reading or contributing to git repos in languages other than Python (e.g. Go, Nix, Terraform, etc.)
- Experience with ontology modeling or data modeling for heterogeneous sources
- Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance
