The opportunity

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U. S.

What you'll do

  • Start by diving into our Classified Systems environment: mapping how sensitive data is created, stored, moved, and accessed today, and identifying where protection is needed most.

  • Design the data protection architecture for Classified Systems: the controls, data flows, and safeguards that protect sensitive information end to end — and partner with stakeholders and engineers across our teams to execute it.

  • Define the policies, processes, and standards for data protection and: handling — both logical (access controls, classification, monitoring) and physical (storage, transport, and destruction of media) — and build the practice that operationalizes them.

  • Deliver an end-to-end solution complete with mitigation: including the automation and incident response needed to handle data spillages and other data-protection events when they arise. Over time, you'll have the mandate to define how data protection at this scale should work, not just keep pace with it.

  • Assess the Classified Systems environment and design a data protection: architecture that secures sensitive data across its full lifecycle.

  • Partner with stakeholders and engineers across our teams to execute the: architecture and implement controls and policies — both logical (access, classification, monitoring) and physical (storage, transport, destruction of media).

What they're looking for

  • Define the processes and standards for data protection and handling and: develop the practice that operationalizes them across the organization.
  • Deliver an end-to-end solution complete with mitigation: including incident response and automation to handle data spillages and sensitive removal requests — while maintaining compliance obligations across security, legal, and customer-facing teams.
  • Active Top Secret/SCI security clearance (required; candidates must currently hold this clearance).
  • + years of experience spanning security engineering and security: architecture, with a track record of both designing solutions and building them hands-on in production environments.
