## Description

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

You will act as the quality and reliability lead within a small, senior AI development pod focused on solving novel, high-impact business and engineering problems.

Responsibilities:

- Design and implement test strategies, validation approaches, and release readiness criteria for AI-enabled software, automation, and agentic workflows.

- Partner closely with software and AI engineers to identify failure modes early across code, prompts, models, integrations, infrastructure, and user workflows.

- Build confidence in fast-moving solutions through automated testing, observability, instrumentation, environment design, and operational safeguards.

- Help define practical standards for reliability, resiliency, debugging, and production operations in an AI-first development model.

- Contribute directly in code, infrastructure, and tooling where needed to improve delivery confidence, developer feedback loops, and production stability.

- Support launch readiness, production issue response, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement for front-facing systems delivered by the pod.

- Evangelize strong engineering discipline in areas such as quality assurance, release engineering, infrastructure hygiene, and incident prevention without sacrificing speed.

Requirements:

- 5+ years of experience in software engineering, site reliability engineering, quality engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a closely related role in a fast-paced environment.

- Demonstrated experience building or operating reliable production software systems, including ownership of testing, observability, deployment confidence, and operational readiness.

- Strong technical fluency in modern software architectures, APIs, distributed systems, CI/CD, and cloud or platform infrastructure.

- Experience working with frontier AI tooling, AI coding assistants, LLM-enabled applications, or agentic systems, including awareness of the unique quality and reliability challenges these systems introduce.

- Ability to move between hands-on implementation and systems-level quality strategy, with sound judgment on where rigor is required versus where speed is appropriate.

- Strong debugging, root cause analysis, and incident response instincts, with a bias toward preventing classes of failures rather than repeatedly reacting to them.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence senior engineers and cross-functional stakeholders on quality and reliability trade-offs.

- 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.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience supporting AI-first or AI-accelerated software development teams, including designing quality controls around non-deterministic system behavior.

- Experience with automated testing strategies spanning unit, integration, end-to-end, performance, and reliability testing for complex software products.

- Experience with infrastructure as code, cloud platforms, observability stacks, release engineering, and production operations.

- Experience in hyper growth startup-like environments, with demonstrated success balancing speed, ambiguity, and engineering rigor.

- Familiarity with enterprise systems and business process domains such as ERP, MES, WMS, CRM, finance systems, or manufacturing systems.

- Eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance.

Benefits: Anduril offers top-tier benefits for full-time employees, including comprehensive, competitive benefits package (available at little to no cost to employees) to ensure you're supported in health, recovery, and whatever comes next.
