Ideally you are passionate about the next generation of defense technology and are looking to become a technical expert in all of Anduril's products. You'll take defined work-streams 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. You'll partner closely with product-line Hardware Test teams, software and infra teams, and corporate analytics to ship real, production-grade data products that replace and enhance the tools we rely on today. Executional autonomy is a foundational pillar of this team. You'll be expected to drive the design, the partnerships, and the delivery. We're looking to encourage you to be a collaborator that feels comfortable proposing alternative solutions and even helping give shape to how the team executes over time. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Own data workstreams end-to-end from ingestion of source data through Foundry transforms and ontology modeling to the dashboards and tools that consume them * Build and maintain Foundry pipelines, data models, and data quality checks * Build internal-facing dashboards and analytics products 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 Hardware Test 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, To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind: * No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process. Our legitimate recruitment is entirely free for candidates. ## Related Videos - [PySpark - Combining Machine Learning & Big Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/44-pyspark-combining-machine-learning-big-data) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) - [Advanced Typing in TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/496-advanced-typing-in-typescript) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Getting to Know Your Legacy (System) with AI-Driven Software Archeology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1437-getting-to-know-your-legacy-system-with-ai-driven-software-archeology) - [Empowering Retail Through Applied Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/976-empowering-retail-through-applied-machine-learning) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 132 - Binging WADFlix?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/473-dev-digest-132-binging-wadflix)
