Senior Platform Engineer / Senior DevOps Engineer / Senior Infrastructure Engineer / Senior Site Reliability Engineer

Anduril Australia's Corporate Technology team runs the infrastructure and toolchains our engineers build on - across cloud and classified on-premises environments that support programs like the Extra Large Autonomous Undersea Vehicle (XL-AUV). We are looking for a senior infrastructure and reliability engineer to be the technical owner of a service or platform on the estate: someone who has owned a service before, can speak from real operational failure history, and sets its reliability and security baselines. You do not need to be a software engineer. You do need to be deep across several layers of the stack and fluent partnering with the engineers who build on it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Be the technical owner of a service or platform end to end - stakeholder engagement, requirements, roadmap, design, implementation, sustainment and evolution
• Design systems for operation, not just for build: failure modes, blast radius, observability, capacity, recovery, secure configuration and multi-domain constraints
• Produce automation and tooling that others adopt - well-structured, safe to run, mindful of re-use and the operator on the other end - in Python, Bash or Go
• Isolate non-obvious faults efficiently across infrastructure-as-code and observability, and leave the environment better than you found it
• Work across cloud-native (AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes) and classified on-premises (Windows, Active Directory, VMware, air-gapped) environments, rotating across the breadth as a confident generalist
• Carry the ISM/PSPF accreditation work for the service you own - designing secure baselines and multi-domain constraints into it
• Partner fluently with software, autonomy and Maritime engineering teams, act as a trusted advisor, and mentor others in reliability practice

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Around eight or more years in infrastructure, reliability, platform or DevOps roles - demonstrated experience weighted over formal qualifications
• A track record as the technical owner of a service or platform: requirements, roadmap, co-ordination, design, implementation and sustainment
• Deep in several layers of the stack and conversant across all of them, able to discuss trade-offs and failure history from real operations
• Fluent scripting and automation in Python, Bash or Go, producing reusable tooling others would adopt
• Strong systems-design judgement for operability - security baselines, graceful degradation, explicit cost and scaling trade-offs
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and container orchestration (Kubernetes) in production
• Australian citizen, able to obtain and maintain an Australian NV2 security clearance (existing NV2 or equivalent preferred)

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience in highly regulated environments (Defence or other Critical Infrastructure), with hands-on ISM/PSPF accreditation ownership
• Experience with classified or air-gapped on-premises infrastructure (Windows, Active Directory, VMware) as well as cloud-native estates
• A strong understanding of networking in cloud and hybrid environments
• Experience mentoring engineers and co-ordinating across a service or platform
• Software-engineering depth - for example production service development in Go, Rust or similar - is welcomed and can open additional, more software-heavy reliability roles, but is not required and is never a screen for this role
