Anduril Industries is building and operating Counter-Intrusion technology that supports operators protecting people and assets on land and sea.

- Partner with tower software engineering to create and tailor monitoring solutions for new tower deployments so observability is included from day one
- Improve and optimize monitoring for legacy products by identifying observability gaps and reducing alert noise to highlight genuine issues
- Continuously author and refine runbooks, SOPs, and troubleshooting guides to keep operational knowledge accurate and accessible
- Assess and raise the quality of fleet observability and telemetry with product and engineering teams, helping set standards for effective monitoring
- Analyze fleet-wide operational data to identify systemic reliability trends and surface issues before they become incidents
