Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Multi-Domain Digital Infrastructure (MDI) builds and operates the classified networks, sovereign cloud environments, edge-to-cloud data pipelines, and expeditionary digital infrastructure that Anduril's autonomous maritime and maneuver platforms depend on across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and beyond.
MDI is the connective tissue between Anduril's platforms and the customers who operate them. When a UUV needs to pass mission data into a classified network, when an allied partner needs to see a track without violating national release rules, when an exercise needs a deployable operations center stood up in a week, that is MDI's problem to solve.
The team operates as three engineering pillars, Network Engineering, Expeditionary Engineering, and Integration Engineering, plus this role. Engineering staff sit in the US, UK, and Australia, with in-country nationals administering sovereign environments because administrative access is itself a sovereignty and export control question.
ABOUT THE JOB
MDI runs a portfolio that is exceptionally broad for its size. Concurrently in flight:
- A bilateral classified SECRET network between the US and Australia, moving toward operational go-live, with a hardware and encryption supply chain, a COMSEC key lifecycle, and an accreditation path running through multiple national authorities
- Sovereign cloud environments in the UK and Australia, under live assessment against three different national frameworks at once
- Maritime kill chain demonstrations and fleet exercises where MDI owns command and control deployment, expeditionary access, and operations center capability
- Integration work putting Lattice onto classified and air-gapped networks, including first-of-their-kind deployments
- Coalition and cross-domain data sharing across AUKUS partners, each with different classification regimes and release authorities
- Geographic expansion planning beyond AUKUS, and a program-funded network and expeditionary lane tied to a major allied shipbuilding program
Every one of those has its own stakeholders, its own accreditation clock, its own hardware dependencies, and its own failure modes. Today, one small team is the single thread of continuity across all of them.
The Deputy Technical Program Manager owns execution integrity across the entire MDI portfolio. You will not own a single technical domain. You will own the mechanism that keeps every domain visible, scheduled, funded, reported, and unblocked, so that no program silently stalls and no single person is a point of failure for the division.
This is deliberately a deputy role, not a coordinator role. The expectation is that within two quarters you can walk into any program review, any customer sync, or any executive briefing, and represent MDI's position with authority. Over time you will make execution calls independently and be the person leadership turns to when the Lead is not in the room.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own the portfolio operating system
- Own the program management toolkit and planning artifacts
- Build cross-program technical fluency
- Carry accreditation and compliance program management
- Stakeholder, customer, and cross-functional coordination
- Team and organizational operations
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 6+ years in technical program management, systems engineering, engineering operations, or a comparable role in defense, national security, or another highly regulated technical environment
- Demonstrated ability to hold broad technical context across multiple domains simultaneously, networking, cloud infrastructure, and systems integration, without being the deepest expert in any one of them
- Track record owning schedule, risk, and dependency management for complex programs with external dependencies you do not control
- Experience managing execution across distributed teams in multiple countries or time zones
- Strong written communication, specifically the ability to turn messy program reality into a clear, honest status that an executive can act on
- Direct experience coordinating with government, military, or regulatory stakeholders
- Comfort operating in classified environments. Active US clearance required, TS/SCI preferred
- Self-starter who builds structure where none exists. There is no inherited playbook for most of this portfolio
- Willingness to travel roughly 20% for program milestones, exercises, customer engagements, and periodic time with the UK and Australia teams
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with classified network infrastructure, including COMSEC handling, Type 1 encryption, or cross-domain solutions
- Experience with sovereign, air-gapped, or multinational cloud environments
- Working knowledge of at least two of: US NIST 800-53 and risk management framework, Australian ISM and IRAP, UK cyber security model and JSP 440
- Familiarity with AUKUS, Five Eyes, or comparable coalition program structures, including export control and foreign national access considerations
- Experience supporting maritime, undersea, expeditionary, or autonomous systems programs
- Experience with Jira-driven work breakdown structures, earned value or budget rollups, and charge code administration
- Background in an organization scaling fast enough that process had to be invented rather than inherited
- Prior military, defense civilian, or defense industry experience
