Sr. Software Engineer, Data & Analytics

The Data & Analytics team builds the core data infrastructure that powers Anduril's operations. We design and implement scalable data architectures that model how Anduril functions across the organization. You will develop high-performance data systems that serve as the digital twin of our operations, creating both the backend services and internal-facing applications that drive mission-critical decision-making. If you are invested in Anduril's mission and interested in building mission-critical data systems, you're in the right place.

We're looking for people who excel at building robust data systems. Designing schemas, optimizing performance, and writing the code that powers data-intensive applications. You prioritize engineering excellence and are interested in pushing the boundaries of what data systems can achieve within an organization - never settling for pipelines to dashboards and always pushing the bounds of what is possible . As a Senior Software Engineer, you should be a technical all-star who can take complicated or opaque asks and turn them into business value.
WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design and implement scalable database schemas and data models that serve Anduril's core operational needs
• Build performant data processing pipelines that transform raw data for dozens of use cases
• Architect end-to-end data solutions - from database design through service layers to integration points to frontend applications
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to understand complex business requirements and translate them into technical solutions
• Contribute to the technical roadmap for our data systems and help make critical architecture decisions
• Implement and enforce best practices for data integrity, security, and performance optimization
• Build domain expertise in areas such as Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, People, and Sustainment to better design data models
• Be a force multiplier for the Data & Analytics team - embody our principle of Velocity.
• Palantir Foundry is our central hub for data driven applications, visualizations and large scale data analysis across the Anduril org. We manage a large user base and provide true data self service at scale.
• We use SQLMesh for data transformations, giving our engineers the ability to work with SQL while enjoying software engineering best practices like version control, testing, and CI/CD for data pipelines.
• For querying data, we utilize Athena, an aws serverless solution that allows our team to run analytics directly on our data lake without managing infrastructure.
• We've implemented Apache Iceberg as our table format, providing advanced data management capabilities like schema evolution and time travel queries.
• We use Flyte for orchestration. It is a highly scalable, kubernetes native modern orchestration platform similar to Airflow or Dagster.

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a focus on data-intensive applications
• Strong experience in database design and optimization
• Proficiency in Python & SQL
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and distributed systems
• Understanding of data modeling concepts and best practices
• Experience implementing security controls for sensitive data
• Ability to drive technical projects from conception to completion in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
