This is not a traditional corporate IT administrator role. You will help administer and improve the on-prem HPC systems, scientific code environments, storage, runtime workflows, and tooling that enable analysts to run complex modeling and simulation workloads. In this role, you will maintain and troubleshoot scientific computing systems, support Linux/Unix-based infrastructure, help manage storage and compute resources, and partner with analysts to resolve issues across code, nodes, queues, storage, and user workflows. You will also help develop tools, scripts, and data workflows that improve analyst productivity. The ideal candidate has experience supporting HPC, scientific computing, research computing, or secure engineering computing environments. This role is scoped for a mid-level to senior individual contributor, with final level determined by depth of HPC experience, independence, technical ownership, and ability to lead improvements across the environment. What You'll Do * Administer and support on-prem HPC systems used for lethality modeling and simulation workflows * Maintain, install, update, and troubleshoot scientific codes and runtime environments * Diagnose issues across code, compute nodes, operating systems, storage, queues, and user workflows * Support Linux, Unix, and Windows administration across a specialized engineering computing environment * Manage or support storage, data movement, and filesystem needs tied to modeling and simulation outputs * Build scripts, automation, and tools that improve analyst productivity and reduce manual workflow friction * Partner with analysts, engineers, security teams, and vendor partners to improve reliability, usability, and secure operation of the environment * Support the team's path toward classified computing readiness * Impact You'll Have * Enable the Lethality Modeling & Simulation team to spend more time on mission-critical analysis and less time troubleshooting computing environments * Improve the reliability and repeatability of scientific code execution across HPC systems, storage, and analyst workflows * Help scale the team's modeling and simulation capability by building better tooling, automation, and data workflows * Strengthen the team's secure computing foundation as Anduril expands into more sensitive and classified analysis environments, 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.

If you suspect any suspicious activity, please verify the agency's authenticity by reaching out to contact@anduril.com. * Exercise Caution with Unsolicited Outreach: If you receive any communication that appears suspicious, contains grammatical errors, or makes unusual requests, do not engage. Always confirm the sender's email domain is @anduril.com before providing any personal information or clicking on links. * What to Do If You Suspect Fraud: Should you encounter any questionable or fraudulent outreach claiming to be from Anduril, please report it immediately to contact@anduril.com. Your proactive caution is invaluable in protecting your personal information and upholding the security and trustworthiness of our recruitment efforts. ## 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) - [Code to Road in < 12 hours](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1082-code-to-road-in-12-hours) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Node and Package Security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2138-wearedevelopers-live-node-and-package-security) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [The Time Paradox: Building Timezone-Safe Python/Django Applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1915-the-time-paradox-building-timezone-safe-python-django-applications) - [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) ## 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) - [Top 6 Hackathons for Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/263-top-6-hackathons-for-developers-in-2023) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026)
