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.
