Anduril Industries is a defense technology company transforming U.S. and allied military capabilities through advanced technology. The company's Lattice OS is an AI-powered operating system that converts thousands of data streams into real-time 3D command and control centers.
As Senior Hybrid Network Engineer, you will own a net-new, architecturally critical function: the hub-and-spoke contract between the cloud and on-premises failover edge nodes. You will ensure on-prem nodes mirror cloud architecture at small scale, maintain operation through Degraded, Disconnected, Intermittent, and Limited (DDIL) conditions, and reconcile cleanly with the hub on reconnect. Your responsibilities span identity federation and degraded authentication to data reconciliation, config-drift automation, and DDIL reliability testing. You will anchor the sub-team, setting technical direction and mentoring individual contributors.
Key responsibilities include:
- Identity federation & degraded auth: Extend centralized Keycloak/LDAP identity to disconnected edge nodes; implement cached-credential authentication when the hub is unreachable; propagate RBAC-by-operation and group permissions to spokes.
- Data reconciliation & state consistency: Own the cloud-to-edge data-refresh contract including DSB migration, entity-persist service, CoTv2 bilateral consistency, and un-egress republishing cache.
- Config/architecture drift: Automate propagation of cloud-architecture changes (DSB, NCC hub-spoke, DNS) to every edge NixOS closure to ensure spokes never silently fall out of parity.
- DDIL reliability mandate: Define and test failover/reconnect behavior against High-Availability and DDIL Concepts of Operations.
- Technical leadership: Set technical direction for the sub-team and mentor supporting individual contributors.
This role requires a strong software background with expertise in distributed systems, cloud architecture, and edge computing. You will work within Anduril Intelligence Systems, focused on positioning Anduril as a lead provider of specialized engineering and products for Intelligence Community customers.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Currently possesses and is able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret/SCI Clearance (mandatory)
- Software background is mandatory
- Strong proficiency in a systems language (Go, Rust, or Python)
- Distributed-systems fundamentals (consensus, conflict resolution, eventual consistency)
- Cloud architecture depth (GCP preferred—VPC, IdP, networking) and comfort at the edge (on-prem, bare-metal deployments)
- Willing to travel as needed
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Demonstrated ownership of a reliability/SRE or platform-engineering charter
