About the role

As an engineer on the Robotics Data Foundation team, you will design and build the Anduril-wide cloud systems that host our ingestion pipelines, storage systems, and tooling that carry vehicle telemetry from onboard systems to the cloud and make it discoverable, searchable, and analyzable across the fleet.

What they're looking for

  • Experience with modern lakehouse architectures (Iceberg, Delta Lake), ETL systems (Flyte, Dagster, Airflow, Argo Workflows), and distributed data processing engines (Spark, Trino, etc.)
  • Experience developing and operating high-throughput streaming data pipelines (leveraging systems like Spark Streaming, Flink, Kafka)
  • Strong proficiency in Python, Java, Rust, and/or Go (the team predominantly uses Python & Rust for core backend services and pipelines)
  • Experience building and operating cloud systems, including common containerization and deployability technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps systems like FluxCD / ArgoCD)
  • U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export controlled data. Eligibility to obtain/maintain a US Top Secret clearance is also desirable
