The opportunity
Anduril's Multi-National Digital Infrastructure (MDI) team builds and sustains the sovereign cloud, classified networks, edge compute, and coalition interoperability layer that Anduril's products depend on across nations and classification levels. The Principal Systems Engineer…
What you'll do
Own the MDI technical architecture end-to-end: sovereign cloud (IL5/IL6), classified bilateral networks, maritime C2 patterns, edge-to-cloud pipelines, and coalition interoperability
Ensure decisions in one workstream don't create debt in another -: hold the full picture across 8+ concurrent milestones
Make the hard architectural calls: technology selection, accreditation-driven design constraints, build vs. buy, when to diverge from common baseline
Drive the "build once, deploy per nation" model -: common baseline infrastructure with intentional, late divergence
Define and enforce the engineering bar: IaC practices, security baselines, deployment patterns, documentation requirements, peer review process
Establish RFC-governed decision processes so architectural choices are deliberate, recorded, and reviewable
What they're looking for
- Own reliability and quality improvement -: set measurable targets and drive the team toward them
- Translate national accreditation requirements (DCSA, IRAP/ISM, NCSC) into engineering work, not paperwork
- Build the common infrastructure patterns that let MDI expand to new nations: and classification levels without proportional engineering effort
- Each subsequent national deployment should be faster than the last -: configuration over engineering
