About the role
As an SRE in Strategic Defense You’ll rack and provision hardware, build the automation that turns a blank server into a hardened node in a running cluster, design how software reaches systems that are only sometimes connected, and debug failures from the Linux kernel up through the network to the pod. You’ll work closely with software, data and operations engineers to get systems into the hands of customers, deployed and supported on real infrastructure with real users. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
- 3-8+ years of hands-on infrastructure, systems or site reliability engineering
- You can explain Linux process states, system calls, memory, file systems and inodes, systemd, and permissions/SELinux, and you can find the process behind a symptom from the shell without a cloud console
- You network using first principles: TCP/UDP, DHCP, DNS, routing, VLANs and firewalls. You can trace a request hop by hop from client to pod and name the tool you’d use at each step
- You know Kubernetes below the managed layer: how Services, kube-proxy, CNI, DNS, scheduling, requests/limits and storage actually work, and how to debug them with kubectl, not a UI
- You write working Python and Bash from scratch, without looking things up: parsing logs and text, handling files and processes, adding retries and error handling, and reading and fixing someone else’s script
More about this role
Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
The Strategic Defense team at Anduril protects the United States and its allies from ballistic, hypersonic, and air-breathing threats. Those threats now arrive in seconds, maneuver mid-flight, and come in volleys designed to overwhelm the legacy systems meant to stop them — so we're building a software-defined command and control layer that can see, decide, and act faster than any human operator could alone. Our team spans autonomy, tracking, simulation and wargaming,...
