Anduril Industries is seeking a Site Reliability Engineer to join the Imaging team, which builds and deploys state-of-the-art camera and sensor systems for U.S. and allied military applications. This is a fielded-systems SRE role—not traditional cloud SRE—focused on keeping deployed imaging systems operational in the field.
You will be the second SRE on a small, high-trust team, serving as the frontline for system reliability and the escalation point when deployed systems malfunction. The work is varied and ambiguous: you might triage a networking failure at a remote deployment site, walk a field operator through sensor calibration over the phone, and spend the rest of the week hardening runbooks to prevent recurring issues. Root causes can exist anywhere in the stack—from bare-metal hardware and firmware to networked services and cloud integrations—and you'll be responsible for narrowing down the problem.
Key responsibilities include owning the health and uptime of deployed systems, running point on customer-support escalations, converting recurring fires into durable runbooks and self-service diagnostics, maintaining the boundary between field support and product engineering (handing off genuine software defects cleanly), and feeding field reliability insights back into product design. You'll also travel approximately 15% of the time for field support and deployment windows.
Required qualifications: 3+ years in SRE, DevOps, field/systems engineering, or production support of deployed hardware/software systems with real post-ship ownership; strong Linux fundamentals and networking troubleshooting (IP, routing, VPNs, constrained environments); demonstrated ability to diagnose issues across system boundaries without full visibility; comfort with structured on-call rotations including after-hours/weekend coverage; strong written and verbal communication for remote troubleshooting and documentation; and eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret clearance.
