AI Solutions Engineer, Talent Acquisition

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 The Talent Operations Systems team is responsible for the systems, data, process, and infrastructure that make Anduril's recruiting function work at scale. We work in a highly cross-functional manner, sitting between TA leadership, recruiters, business leaders, and the people data team to drive recruiting processes and systems and turn fragmented operational data into a trusted, decision-ready data product. Our work directly shapes how Anduril finds, evaluates, and hires the engineers, operators, and builders behind the future of defense, and it's how recruiting leadership knows where to invest, what's working, and where the funnel is breaking. ABOUT THE JOB We are looking for an AI Solutions Engineer, Talent Acquisition to join our rapidly growing TA Operations team. This role is embedded within the TA Team — and you will be the hands-on technical owner of AI and automation across Anduril's TA function. You will build AI agents and automations that solve concrete recruiting problems, improving efficacy and efficiency. You will use that to inform what gets built, what gets bought, and what doesn't get built at all. You will spend most of your time shipping — primarily on strategically prioritized projects, but also unblocking the team with home-grown ad hoc tools and quick-turn solutions. You will form a strong, defensible point of view on where AI and automation will drive value across the recruiting funnel, surface the highest-leverage opportunities, and lead build-vs.-buy assessments grounded in scalability, cost, safety, and compliance. You will own TA's AI and automation roadmap end-to-end — communicating progress and tradeoffs to TA leadership, giving regular read-outs, and partnering with our TA Enablement team to drive baseline AI literacy across the broader recruiting org. This will require strong applied AI engineering chops (LLMs, agentic workflows, tool use, retrieval, evals), real software engineering rigor (Python, APIs, integrations, version control, testing, deployment), and the judgment to ship pragmatic systems in a regulated environment. If you are someone who is energized by ambiguous problem spaces, who can sit with recruiters and sourcers to understand their friction before writing a line of code, who has strong opinions about when AI is the right tool and when it isn't, and who wants to own both the build and the strategy behind it, then this role is for you. WHAT YOU’LL DO Build AI agents and automations that solve real recruiting problems — sourcing, screening, outreach, scheduling, candidate research, pipeline operations, reporting — with measurable ROI tied to recruiter time saved, funnel improvements, or hiring outcomes. Own TA's AI and automation roadmap end-to-end — prioritization, sequencing, communication, and progress read-outs to TA leadership and stakeholders. Partner closely with Anduril's Corporate Technology team to understand the company's AI tooling, model access, infrastructure, security posture, and roadmap — and design solutions that ride those rails rather than fight them. Form and defend a clear point of view on where AI and automation will and won't drive value across the recruiting function, and proactively surface opportunities the team hasn't asked for y
