Staff Analytics Engineer

ABOUT THE JOB

We're looking for people who love delivering value with data - defining ontologies and writing the code that puts them into action. You prioritize velocity and are interested in pushing the frontiers of what analytics can do within an organization - think data applications rather than just dashboards. As a Staff Engineer, you should be a player-coach; your role is to set an example for your team and define what great looks like while also being their advocate & mentor. Your leadership should take a high performing team on towards the next level.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• There is no such thing as a pure manager at Anduril - you'll demonstrate your ability to be both an IC and a people manager.

• Become the Trusted Partner for end to end date flows - your job doesn't end at the boundary of the data warehouse but instead in the business outcome.

• Become an expert in the domain areas of your direct reports and provide them guidance, mentorship, and support.

• Lead the building of Anduril’s ontology for a specific domain such as Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, People, and Sustainment

• Collaborate with stakeholders, collecting requirements, and writing the code that results in Secure, Timely, Accurate, Trusted, and Extensible Data Models

• Seek out problems that can be solved with data and proactively work with the organization to make it a reality

• Become a trusted resource for Anduril leadership in helping them run their organizations more effectively

• 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.
