Senior Software Engineer, Robotics Data Foundation (Cloud)Active$292K

The Robotics Data Foundation (RDF) team builds Anduril's vehicle telemetry backbone, from onboard systems to cloud. This includes onboard data recording and backhaul, ingestion into our cloud data platform, normalizing data across flight controllers and vehicle management…

What you'll do

• Build reliable and performant cloud data systems: Our software ingests high volumes of telemetry across Anduril, so the systems we ship must be high-availability and stable when processing high-scale vehicle telemetry.

• Design extensible telemetry and data architectures: Robotics teams have diverse data sources that are often unique to a platform or sensor. Our architecture must enable easy integration of bespoke data sources into our standardized ingestion framework.

• Enable data-driven engineering in real-time: We own the software that delivers live telemetry streams and recorded data to cloud destinations and analysis tools so engineers, operators, and test teams across locations can understand their systems in real-time.

• Build and develop cloud-native systems that are also edge-compatible: While we are responsible for delivering an excellent cloud data platform experience for all teams across Anduril, we also deliver a subset of capabilities to edge nodes to facilitate telemetry capture in offline / air-gapped settings. You will also be responsible for fielding data systems to classified environments.

• Eagerly engage with our customers: We partner closely with business line engineering teams to understand their specific data requirements and iteratively deliver solutions that meet their particular needs and constraints.

• Experience with modern lakehouse architectures (Iceberg, Delta Lake), ETL: systems (Flyte, Dagster, Airflow, Argo Workflows), and distributed data processing engines (Spark, Trino, etc.).

What they're looking for

• Experience developing and operating high-throughput streaming data pipelines: (leveraging systems like Spark Streaming, Flink, Kafka).
• Strong proficiency in Python, Java, Rust, and/or Go (the team predominantly: uses Python & Rust for core backend services and pipelines).
• Experience building and operating cloud systems, including common: containerization and deployability technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, GitOps systems like FluxCD / ArgoCD).
• U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export: controlled data. Eligibility to obtain/maintain a US Top Secret clearance is also desirable.
