## About the role

Mission Control is the team responsible for quality assurance, release management, and incident management across the systems Anduril's factories run on. When a product line moves from design to a finished article, it crosses PLM, ERP, MES, and WMS, and the seams between them are where quality is won or lost. This role is the senior technical anchor for proving those seams hold. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Design, build, and own automated system integration tests that exercise Anduril product lines end to end across multiple systems, rather than validating single services in isolation
- Simulate production workload and data for those product lines so tests reflect what the factory actually does, and build mechanisms that detect when the simulation drifts from reality
- Leverage AI to author, maintain, and triage tests faster, and turn that into capability for others so the people closest to the problems can ensure quality themselves
- Reason about distributed architecture and reconcile intent, implementation, and observed production reality, tracing failures across service, network, and vendor boundaries to the actual cause
- Set test strategy, release readiness criteria, and quality gates for the release train, and make them fast enough that teams choose to use them
- Build the observability, instrumentation, and environment strategy that turn a failing test or a production incident into a clear, actionable signal
