Senior AI Infrastructure Engineer

ABOUT THE TEAM

The Air Dominance & Strike team at Anduril develops aerial and multi-domain robotic systems. The teamis responsible fortaking products like Fury (unmanned fighter jet) and Barracuda (air-breathing cruise missile) from concept to product. The team also develops Lattice for Mission Autonomy Andurils premier software platform that enables masses of Fury Barracuda and other first andthird partyrobots to collaborate across various missions. We work in close coordination with specialist teams like Perception Motion Planning Hardware and Test Engineering to solve some of the hardest problems facing our customers. We are looking for software engineers and roboticists excited about creating a powerful autonomy software stack that includes computer vision motion planning SLAM controls estimation and secure communications.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a Senior AI Infrastructure Engineer to build scale and optimize the end-to-end machine learning platform that powers Andurils autonomous systems.

In this role you will own critical components of our ML platform and MLOps tooling. You will build and operate the infrastructure required to train evaluate host and serve complex AI models (including LLMs computer vision and RL agents) across cloud environments and air-gapped edge-deployed networks. Working closely with AI Research Scientists and Platform Engineers you will eliminate friction in model development optimize hardware utilization and ensure robust delivery of models into safety-critical operational environments.

WHAT YOULL DO

• Build optimize and maintain scalable training orchestration and experimentation infrastructure to accelerate state-of-the-art model development.
• Identify and resolve bottlenecks in the ML lifecycle by developing tooling for experiment tracking automated profiling and hyperparameter tuning.
• Implement and scale robust data pipelines (ETL) to process multi-modal data (video feeds radar flight telemetry and simulation logs) captured from physical assets and test sites.
• Deploy high-throughput low-latency model serving frameworks optimized for both cloud environments and resource-constrained air-gapped tactical edge hardware.
• Develop robust CI/CD pipelines for ML models including automated regression testing validation benchmarks and safe rollout/rollback strategies.
• Implement pipelines for model evaluation validation and reinforcement learning alignment loops (RLHF/DPO) to ensure predictability and safety in mission-critical deployments.
• Partner with AI Researchers and Computer Vision engineers to translate modeling requirements into scalable reusable infrastructure.
• Mentor peers conduct thorough design and code reviews and champion engineering best practices across the team.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5 years of software engineering experience with demonstrated success in building and operating production-scale machine learning infrastructure or distributed systems.
• Proficiency in Python Go or C with a strong grasp of software engineering fundamentals systems design and concurrent programming.
• Hands-on experience with container orchestration (Docker Kubernetes) and distributed training frameworks (e.g. PyTorch Distributed Ray Slurm or Megatron-LM).
• Experience building and maintaining distributed data pipelines handling large-scale unstructured or multi-modal datasets.
• Track record of owning projects end-to-endfrom technical design to production deployment and operational monitoring.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience deploying ML infrastructure model serving or artifacts in secure air-gapped or regulated environments (e.g. IL5/IL6 GovCloud).
• Hands-on experience profiling GPU/accelerator workloads resolving hardware/network bottlenecks and optimizing compute utilization.
• Experience supporting workloads for Large Language Models Generative AI or Reinforcement Learning (RL) pipelines.
• Experience with multi-tenant cluster management including fair scheduling GPU slicing and quota enforcement.
• Familiarity with production ML observability frameworks including data drift detection and automated evaluation pipelines.
