ABOUT THE JOB The Infrastructure Engineering organization is looking for an accomplished Staff Network Engineer to lead our acquisition integration engineering practice with a specific focus on networking. This pivotal role will own the end-to-end network infrastructure engineering lifecycle of integrating newly acquired businesses into Anduril's existing ecosystem. You will be instrumental in defining, executing, and maturing our network integration processes, from initial discovery and assessment through migration execution and hypercare. This individual will possess a remarkable dynamic range, capable of engaging effectively with company founders and executives, producing network architecture and roadmaps, and rolling up their sleeves to perform hands-on engineering work. A key responsibility will be collaborating with stakeholder teams (Merger Acquisition program team, Client Engineering, Business systems Applications) to define and establish our network acquisition integration engineering practice, developing repeatable, benchmarked processes that undergo rigorous post-mortems and continuous improvement. You will also identify critical tooling gaps that can expedite discovery, migration, and testing activities, either building these tools yourself or scoping them for peers to deliver. While you will collaborate closely with Security and Client Engineering teams, a strong foundational understanding of these domains is essential, complementing your deep networking expertise. WHAT YOU'LL DO Define, establish, and lead the network infrastructure integration engineering practice, setting the technical vision and strategy for integrating new entities and their network technologies. Single threaded ownership of all network infrastructure components of acquisition integration from discovery and due diligence through migration execution and hypercare. Conduct comprehensive technical assessments of target companies' network infrastructure, systems, and operational capabilities, identifying risks and opportunities. Develop and present high-level network architectural strategies and detailed roadmaps for integrations to executive leadership, founders, and technical teams. Design and implement robust, scalable, and secure network architectures for integrated environments, ensuring alignment with Anduril's overall technology strategy. Develop and execute detailed network migration plans, managing complex technical challenges and dependencies. Provide post-migration hypercare support for network infrastructure, ensuring a smooth transition and stabilization of integrated systems. Define, document, and continuously improve repeatable network integration processes to accelerate acquisition integration, establishing benchmarks, conducting post-mortems, and implementing lessons learned. Identify, evaluate, and implement or scope the development of new tools and technologies to enhance network discovery, migration, and testing efficiency. Collaborate closely with Security teams to ensure all integrated network infrastructure meets Anduril's stringent security requirements and policies. Partner with Client Engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of acquired client-facing network services and connectivity. Pro ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
