We own the services every engineer depends on daily - source control, CI/CD, and artifact management - as well as the on-prem infrastructure behind simulation and GPU workloads. As the company's on-prem footprint grows, this team is expanding its scope to provide SRE capabilities for on-prem systems, so there's an opportunity to help shape that practice from the ground up. ABOUT THE JOB You'll own the full lifecycle - patching, upgrades, backups, scaling, and incident response - for services that engineering depends on daily. The role blends DevOps, SRE, and software engineering, and is ideal for engineers who want high ownership and company-wide impact. You should have a mindset of continuous improvement: if something is manual and repetitive, your instinct should be to automate it away. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Serve as a primary owner for critical services, including on-call and knowledge-sharing across the team * Own the lifecycle of core self-hosted developer tools (e.g., RunAI, GitHub Enterprise Server, CircleCI, JFrog Artifactory/Xray) * Design and implement automated systems for patching, backups (with validation), and upgrades * Scale infrastructure to support a fast-growing engineering org * Use Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) to manage environments * Operate and troubleshoot systems using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) * Define and maintain SLOs for service availability, reliability, and performance * Build and maintain monitoring, alerting, and observability for developer tool services * Lead and participate in incident response and root cause analysis * Work cross-functionally with platform, security, infrastructure (on-prem and cloud), and software teams, 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 - [Running Secure Life Science Research at Scale using Hybrid GPU HPC and Kubernetes 🧬](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100355-running-secure-life-science-research-at-scale-using-hybrid-gpu-hpc-and-kubernetes) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
