The Senior Engineer, Edge-Cloud Reliability joins the Anduril Intelligence Systems team to manage the architecturally critical hub-and-spoke contract between cloud systems and on-prem failover edge nodes. This role involves ensuring on-prem nodes mirror cloud architecture while maintaining operations during Degraded, Disconnected, Intermittent, and Limited conditions. Key responsibilities include owning identity federation, degraded authentication, data reconciliation, and config-drift automation. The engineer will also set technical direction and mentor the sub-team. Required technical skills include proficiency in Go, Rust, or Python, distributed-systems fundamentals like consensus and eventual consistency, and cloud architecture depth, specifically GCP. The work focuses on solving reliability challenges for Intelligence Community customers by ensuring state consistency and high-availability across edge and cloud environments using NixOS closures and bilateral consistency models.
