Description
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology.
As Senior Hybrid Network Engineer, you'll own a net-new, architecturally critical function: the hub-and-spoke contract between the cloud and our on-prem failover edge nodes.
You'll ensure on-prem nodes mirror cloud architecture at small scale, keep operating through Degraded, Disconnected, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) conditions, and reconcile cleanly with the hub on reconnect - owning everything from identity federation and degraded auth to data reconciliation, config-drift automation, and DDIL reliability testing.
You'll also anchor the sub-team, setting technical direction and mentoring ICs.
This role requires a strong software background (Go/Rust/Python), distributed-systems fundamentals, cloud architecture depth (GCP preferred), comfort at the edge, and demonstrated ownership of a reliability/SRE or platform-engineering charter.
Responsibilities
- Identity federation & degraded auth: extend centralized Keycloak/LDAP identity to disconnected edge; cached-credential authentication when the hub is unreachable; propagate RBAC-by-operation/group to spokes.
- Data reconciliation & state consistency: own the cloud↔edge data-refresh contract: DSB migration, entity-persist service, CoTv2 bilateral consistency, un-egress republishing cache.
- Config / architecture drift: automate propagation of cloud-architecture changes (DSB, NCC hub-spoke, DNS) to every edge NixOS closure so spokes never silently fall out of parity.
- DDIL reliability mandate: define and test failover/reconnect behavior against the High-Availability / DDIL ConOps.
- Set the technical direction for the sub-team; mentor and receive the support IC.
Required Qualifications
- Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret / SCI Clearance
- Software background is mandatory
- Strong in a systems language (Go/Rust/Python), distributed-systems fundamentals (consensus, conflict resolution, eventual consistency).
- Cloud architecture depth (GCP preferred - VPC, IdP, networking) and comfort at the edge (on-prem, bare-metal deployments).
- Willing to travel as needed
Preferred Qualifications
- Demonstrated ownership of a reliability/SRE or platform-engineering charter.
