About Anduril

Anduril Industries builds advanced autonomous systems and defense technology to protect US and allied forces. Creating the future of national security through AI, robotics, and cutting-edge engineering. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and a16z.

About the role

In this role, you will own critical components of our ML platform and MLOps tooling. You will build and operate the infrastructure required to train, evaluate, host, and serve complex AI models (including LLMs, computer vision, and RL agents) across cloud environments and air-gapped, edge-deployed networks.

What they're looking for

  • Build, optimize, and maintain scalable training, orchestration, and experimentation infrastructure to accelerate state-of-the-art model development
  • Identify and resolve bottlenecks in the ML lifecycle by developing tooling for experiment tracking, automated profiling, and hyperparameter tuning
  • Implement and scale robust data pipelines (ETL) to process multi-modal data (video feeds, radar, flight telemetry, and simulation logs) captured from physical assets and test sites
  • Deploy high-throughput, low-latency model serving frameworks optimized for both cloud environments and resource-constrained, air-gapped tactical edge hardware
  • Develop robust CI/CD pipelines for ML models, including automated regression testing, validation benchmarks, and safe rollout/rollback strategies
  • Implement pipelines for model evaluation, validation, and reinforcement learning alignment loops (RLHF/DPO) to ensure predictability and safety in mission-critical deployments
