ABOUT THE TEAM

Anduril's TRS Simulation team owns the ecosystem, frameworks, and guidance that make simulation possible, repeatable, and scalable across the Tactical Recon & Strike business line. We don't just run sims, we define what it means for a simulation to be trustworthy. Our team operates across four pillars: Sim Infrastructure, Sim Fidelity, Sim Integrations, and Training Simulations, supporting products like Altius, Ghost, Bolt, and Anvil from early development through field deployment. Every fidelity improvement, every validated model, and every simulation environment we deliver directly determines whether autonomous systems are ready to fly real missions.

Our vision is one simulation framework that serves every product and every deployment target, from a developer's laptop through CI pipelines, operator training environments, and large-scale HPC Monte Carlo campaigns. The same declarative workspace definition can be composed, extended, and deployed wherever simulation is needed, so teams spend their time on mission problems instead of reinventing infrastructure.

THE ROLE

This role is for a versatile engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment with a different challenge every day. The Sim Integrations sub-team is the connective tissue between the simulation platform and the programs that depend on it. You'll take program simulation requirements, understand the delta against existing capabilities, build clear action plans, and own those plans to completion, including responsibility for positive customer and program feedback. The work moves fast and the priorities are real, but so is the impact: the simulation environments you deliver directly enable teams to develop, validate, and field autonomous systems.

You'll work across the full breadth of TRS products and programs, interfacing with program managers, autonomy engineers, systems engineers, operators, and customers. No two weeks look the same: one week you might be standing up a new simulation environment for a field exercise, the next you're debugging a network configuration across a distributed sim, and the next you're wrangling integration issues across multiple program deliverables. You will own your solutions from design through delivery and long-term maintenance, with the support and collaboration of our team behind you. If you're a jack-of-all-trades who loves thinking on your feet and making other teams successful, this is your role.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Serve as the primary simulation point of contact for TRS programs, translating program-specific simulation requirements into actionable technical plans and owning delivery end-to-end.
• Identify deltas between existing simulation capabilities and program needs, then coordinate across Sim Infrastructure, Sim Fidelity, and functional engineering teams to close those gaps.
• Configure, extend, and validate simulation environments across the full stack, from autonomy and sensor configurations to networking and deployment infrastructure.
• Support field events, customer demos, and program milestone deliverables with hands-on simulation expertise and rapid troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with program managers and systems engineers to align simulation fidelity levels with program priorities, using our team's fidelity rubric to drive investment where it has the most impact.
• Develop reusable patterns and documentation so that program-specific solutions feed back into the platform and reduce the cost of the next integration.
• At the senior level: manage the portfolio of active program simulation engagements, drive cross-program prioritization, and mentor other engineers on integration best practices.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 3+ years of professional software engineering experience in an industry setting, with hands-on delivery of software to internal or external customers.
• Proficiency across multiple programming languages (C++, Python, Bash) with the versatility to pick up whatever the problem demands.
• Strong Linux/Unix fundamentals: comfortable navigating systems, debugging across layers of the stack, and working in terminal-driven workflows.
• Working understanding of networking concepts (protocols, routing, network debugging) sufficient to troubleshoot distributed simulation environments.
• Comfortable with the professional software development lifecycle from start to finish.
• Experience working directly with customers, program teams, or stakeholders to translate requirements into delivered capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams, prioritize effectively, and deliver under real deadlines.
• Ability to quickly understand and navigate complex systems and established code bases.
• A desire to work on critical software that has a real-world impact.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

Additional for Senior candidates:

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Experience managing a portfolio of deliverables across multiple programs or customers simultaneously.
• Track record of mentoring engineers and establishing repeatable processes that scale beyond a single person.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with simulation frameworks, real-time systems, or robotics platforms.
• Experience with modern build and deployment tooling (Nix, Docker, CI/CD systems).
• Experience with NixOS or declarative system configuration.
• Familiarity with field deployment, customer demos, or operational support for software systems.
• Experience creating or maintaining software-in-the-loop (SITL) test environments.
• Ability to context-switch effectively across diverse technical domains without losing quality.
• A bias toward rapid delivery and iteration.

ABOUT ROCKET MONEY 🔮

Rocket Money’s mission is to meaningfully improve the financial prosperity of millions of people. Rocket Money offers members a unique understanding of their finances and a suite of valuable services that save them time and money – ultimately giving them a leg up on their financial journey.

ABOUT THE TEAM 🤝

Data Platform Engineers at Rocket Money further our mission by building and maintaining the infrastructure that enables our company to understand our users and products through reliable, scalable data systems. We build the foundational platform that ingests, processes, and serves data—enabling our Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Software Engineering teams to build data products efficiently. We work closely with engineering teams to ensure data is captured correctly at the source, design resilient pipelines, and create self-service capabilities that empower stakeholders.

The Data Platform team is in an exciting phase of growth and formalization. While we have established tools and processes in place (dbt, BigQuery, Terraform), we're actively building the comprehensive standards, practices, and systems that will scale with Rocket Money as it grows. We're looking for engineers who can take ownership and evolve workflows into reliable, well-documented, production-grade systems. This is an opportunity to shape architectural decisions, establish team practices, and define how Rocket Money works with data for years to come.

We have a strong preference for process-oriented systems thinkers who excel in balancing stakeholder requirements, technical debt, and organizational complexity—and who thrive in environments where they need to create structure from ambiguity. You'll need to be comfortable making principled decisions, taking ownership not just of code but of outcomes, and operating with significant autonomy as we build the platform together.

ABOUT THE ROLE 🤹

In this role, you will:

• Be an end-to-end owner of our data platform infrastructure, ensuring its security, usability, and performance. Work closely with analytics engineers, machine learning engineers, and software engineers to ensure the platform meets their needs.
• Make collaborative decisions about data tooling, pipeline design, and governance, and implement opinionated interfaces that facilitate easy and best-practice-aligned development for other teammates.
• Continuously improve failure rates for data sources by moving alerting “to the left”; i.e. catching and quarantining bugs/failures as close to the source as possible.
• Analyze patterns in how source data is generated, modeled, and consumed. Work with stakeholders to implement the best solution when new data sources are added.
• Take ownership of existing tools and workflows that may be functional but lack formal structure, documentation, or reliability measures. You'll assess what's working, identify gaps, and systematically improve systems to production-grade quality.
• Document everything you build knowing that you're creating the foundation others will build upon. Your runbooks, architecture decision records, and system documentation will become the institutional knowledge of our data platform.
• Proactively communicate with multiple stakeholders on platform capabilities, technical constraints, architectural decisions, project priorities, and platform support.
• Confidently juggle multiple projects and priorities in our fast-paced environment and work with stakeholders and platform teammates to ensure infrastructure changes, migrations, and improvements are delivered on schedule.
• Automate aggressively and deliberately; anything from GitHub Actions to Slack Workflows to minimize repetitive tasks. Effectively judge when the level of effort is appropriate and avoid over-engineering.

ABOUT YOU 🦄

• You have 6+ years of experience working with data infrastructure, data engineering, or platform engineering within a fast-paced environment. You are highly proficient with SQL, Python, and cloud-based Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g. Terraform), and comfortable working with bash/shell scripting.
• You have 4+ years of production experience with modern data stacks including data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, or Redshift), orchestration tools, managed ingestion services, and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation).
• You have 2+ years of experience building and maintaining production data pipelines, whether through ELT tools, custom applications, streaming systems, or event-driven architectures.
• You've successfully "professionalized" data infrastructure before—taking scrappy, working systems and evolving them into reliable, well-documented, production-grade platforms. You can articulate what "production-ready" means in a data context.
• You have a bias toward action and aren't paralyzed by imperfect solutions. You understand when "good enough for now with a plan to improve" beats "perfect but six months late." You ship incrementally and iterate based on feedback.
• You're comfortable being the first person to tackle a problem. You don't need extensive mentorship or detailed tickets—you can take a high-level business need and figure out the technical approach. That said, you know when to ask for help and can articulate what you need.
• You take ownership seriously—not just of writing code, but of outcomes. When you build something, you implement monitoring, write runbooks, create alerts, and ensure it can be maintained by others. You think about the full lifecycle of systems, not just initial delivery.
• You have strong opinions, weakly held. You can make and defend architectural decisions, but you're open to feedback and willing to change course when presented with better information. You can disagree and commit.
• You understand that "building from scratch" doesn't mean rejecting existing tools—it means thoughtfully selecting, configuring, and integrating managed services and open-source solutions to create a cohesive platform. You know when to build and when to buy.
• You have experience making big changes to critical data infrastructure. You’ve successfully re-architected, migrated, or upgraded data tooling that has strict SLA’s, without significantly affecting downstream stakeholders.

Bonus points if:

• You have led a data infrastructure migration or modernization project where you defined the vision, approach, and implementation.
• You have created internal tools, frameworks, or CLIs that improved how teams work with data (not just one-off scripts).
• You have established data platform best practices like CI/CD workflows, testing frameworks, or observability standards where none existed.
• Expertise in cloud platforms and technologies analogous to our stack:
  • Our stack: GCP (BigQuery, Datastream, Cloud Functions, Vertex AI, GCS), dbt, Fivetran, Postgres, Python, Terraform, Looker, Retool
  • Analogous experience: AWS (Redshift, DMS, Lambda, SageMaker, S3) or Azure (Synapse, Data Factory, Functions), Snowflake, Airbyte/Stitch, infrastructure as code tools, BI platforms

Build AI that matters. We ship production AI solutions for confidential federal missions across defense, national security, public safety, civilian, and military health where reliability, privacy, and safety aren’t optional. AFS is a technology company within global Accenture and a Glassdoor Top 100 Best Place to Work. You’ll join a collaborative, caring community with handson growth, certifications, and industry training. We ship in weeks, not quarters, and measure success by latency, reliability, safety, and cost. 

Confidentiality matters: We don’t disclose program details publicly. If you advance, we’ll share specifics during the process. 

Role Overview 

You’ll work sidebyside with federal mission owners from field operations and supply chains to benefits delivery and enterprise decision support turning vision into reality with Palantir Foundry + AIP. This role focuses on orchestrating, integrating, and operationalizing AI (no model training required): you’ll leverage managed platforms and services to ship secure, reliable, and scalable applications fast. You’ll own the path from usecase discovery → prototype → scaled deployment, operating under realworld constraints and partnering across product, engineering, and domain teams. 

What You’ll Do (Day to Day) 

• Mission partnership & delivery: Embed with client teams to conceive, architect, build, and maintain solutions that meet mission needs under operational constraints. 

• Datatodecision flow: Use Foundry (e.g., ontologies, pipelines, transformations, operational workflows) to turn disparate data into actionable products; move from use case → prototype → production at mission speed. 

• Operationalize AIP: Deploy agentic workflows, retrievalaugmented patterns, and prompt/policy strategies via AIP; implement guardrails, fallbacks, and recovery for reliability without training foundation models. 

• Production rigor: Instrument metrics/logs/traces, establish runbooks and SLOs, lead postmortems, and build auditready guardrails for safety and compliance. 

• Secure & compliant by design: Respect confidentiality and integrate with federalgrade controls (privacy, access, auditability); practice Zero Trust concepts. 

• Rapid iteration, real outcomes: Prototype quickly, ship productiongrade features, and iterate based on user feedback and measurable mission impact. 

• Crossfunctional collaboration: Partner with engineers, PMs, analysts, and operators to define requirements, iterate on solutions, and ship code that sticks. 

• Forwarddeployed presence: Travel as needed to embed onsite, drive adoption, and ensure outcomes in operational environments. 

What you won’t do: Train or invent new foundation models; deliver academic research. Your focus is making bestinclass platforms and models work flawlessly in production. 

You'll Thrive Here If You Have

• Hands-on experience deploying solutions with Palantir Foundry + AIP in real customer settings. 

• Proven track record solutioning and shipping products for clients ideally in public sector or similarly regulated environments.
