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.

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.
The Business Systems team is responsible for building and improving the many business systems that enables Anduril to accomplish its mission. Anduril’s supply chain, accounting, sales & growth, people, engineering, field maintenance, quality, manufacturing, and many more teams rely on the technology built by us. We work across the company to ensure we have the tools and capabilities necessary for mission success.
The People Systems Solution Architect will be responsible for leading the discovery, (re)design, implementation, and ongoing optimization of our People Systems (HRIS, ATS, Payroll, Staffing, etc.) to meet the growing needs of our company. The successful candidate will serve as the primary liaison between the People Org (inclusive of Talent Acquisition, People Ops, Business Partners), Business Systems, other stakeholder teams (Finance, Analytics, business lines), and external vendors to ensure that our People Systems solutions are effective, efficient, and aligned with our business objectives.

- Customer Focused - They display deep user empathy to boost engagement and build experiences that delight
- Dive Deep - They sweat the details and roll up their sleeves to uncover the root causes for systemic issues. They eat metrics for breakfast!
- Ownership - They care deeply not just about their program, but for all the business outcomes that their program supports, holding themselves accountable for everything it both does and fails to do
- Agility - They change directions easily and without regret, quickly adapting to shifting business priorities
- First Principles Thinking - They approach problems and develop solutions not based on what a vendor recommends or because it’s how they did things at their last job, but from a deep appreciation of what is best for the enterprise

- Strong technical knowledge of common People Systems, such as Workday, Oracle, SAP SuccessFactors, Rippling, or similar systems.
