At a glance

Anduril Industries is looking for a Site Reliability Engineer to join the Imaging team to keep fielded imaging systems alive and serve as the frontline for field personnel and customer-support escalations.
This is not a product development or traditional cloud-SRE role, but rather a frontline position diagnosing live systems under pressure and turning recurring fire-drills into durable fixes.
The role requires working on a small, high-trust team with real room to shape how Imaging reliability and support operate as the company scales.

Own fielded system reliability by triaging, diagnosing, and driving resolution for issues across the network, calibration, upgrades, or sensor hardware.
Run point on escalations as the first and second line of response for issues coming through support channels and customer-support pipelines.
Build and maintain runbooks, diagnostics, and self-service tooling to reduce repeat problems and shrink support load over time.
Hold the boundary with engineering by cleanly reproducing, documenting, and handing off genuine software defects to Mission Software Engineers.

3+ years in SRE, DevOps, field/systems engineering, or production support of deployed hardware/software systems with real ownership after systems ship.
Strong Linux fundamentals, including comfort troubleshooting real networking issues such as IP, routing, VPNs, and connectivity in constrained or field environments.
Demonstrated ability to diagnose and resolve issues across system boundaries without always having full visibility into every component.
Comfortable owning a structured on-call rotation, including scheduled after-hours and weekend coverage.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to run a remote troubleshooting session with a non-technical operator and document what happened.
Eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.

Experience supporting fielded or deployed systems, not just development environments.
Experience with fielded hardware or sensor systems (EO/IR, optical, or similar), including familiarity with sensor calibration.
Scripting for diagnostics and automation (Python, Bash, or similar).
Familiarity with Nix or NixOS.
Familiarity with systemd service management and observability practices on Linux.
Familiarity with incident tooling (PagerDuty or equivalent).

Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full time offers
Top-tier benefits for full-time employees supporting health, recovery, and whatever comes next

Travel expected approximately 20% of the time for field support and deployment windows.
