Senior Site Reliability Engineer - Tactical Reconnaissance & Strike

About The Team

Anduril’s Tactical Recon & Strike (TRS) is a division with two missions: 1) build highly capable autonomous drones, and 2) build solid rocket motors at scale. We transform products like Ghost, Anvil, Bolt, and Altius from early concepts into fully operational capabilities by partnering closely with specialist engineering, operations, and production teams. Through our Anduril Rocket Motor Systems (RMS) team, we design and manufacture solid rocket motors using advanced materials, proprietary formulations, and high-volume production methods—delivering safe, reliable propulsion systems that support a wide range of mission requirements. TRS hires software engineers & hardware engineers, who are excited to build across a diverse and powerful portfolio—from autonomous aerial systems to high-performance solid rocket motors. Our teams contribute to highly capable autonomous robotics systems and propulsion products that operate reliably in the most demanding mission environment.

About The Job

As a Site Reliability Engineer you will be responsible for deploying, integrating, and managing customer and developmental cloud environments across TRS. This role requires a systems-thinking engineer who can bridge software development, platform engineering, and mission operations to ensure seamless integration of new capabilities while improving production scalability and maintaining reliability. The ideal candidate will own the end-to-end lifecycle of cloud-based deployments, drive continuous improvement of data pipelines and observability infrastructure for TRS’s growing drone fleets, and identify opportunities to leverage emerging platform services to enhance system performance and data quality. This position will also play a critical role in scaling integration best practices and building out functional capabilities across additional TRS product lines.

What You Will Do

• Cloud Deployment & Environment Management: Own and execute customer and developmental cloud deployments across TRS product lines, ensuring reliable configuration management, version control, and seamless promotion of releases from development through production environments.
• Anduril Platform Services Integration: Evaluate, prototype, and integrate emerging platform capabilities (such as RDF and MissionSim) and/or 3rd party services (such as Arena AI and AFATDS/AXS) to improve data discoverability, consistency, and analytical capabilities across TRS systems.
• Data Pipeline & Observability Infrastructure: Maintain and enhance existing data pipelines, metrics frameworks, and monitoring solutions including Grafana and Nominal; ensure high availability, data quality, and actionable insights for engineering and operations teams.
• Field Support & Operational Testing: Collaborate directly with field operation teams during feature rollouts to conduct real-world testing, troubleshoot issues in operational environments, gather actionable feedback to inform system improvements and ensure mission success, and enable customer self-serve provisioning of environments.
• Cross-Product Line Expansion: Partner with leadership to establish integration engineering functions and best practices across all TRS product lines, developing reusable patterns, documentation, and tooling that accelerate deployment capabilities and operational maturity.
