About the Job

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
  • Have working knowledge of SQL and Python.
  • Have strong Excel skills and the ability to build clean, traceable models.
  • Have a basic understanding of financial statements and how a profit and loss statement is built.
  • Be fluent with AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar, including prompt engineering: writing clear, structured prompts, iterating to improve output quality, and knowing when AI output needs a human check.
  • Have strong attention to detail and comfort being held to numbers that tie.
  • Communicate clearly in writing and verbally, including explaining technical work to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Be comfortable with ambiguity and juggling several projects at once in a fast-moving environment.
  • Be authorized to work in the United States.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain automations that replace manual steps in month-end close, reporting, and planning workflows.
  • Write SQL and Python against Anduril's financial data warehouse (Databricks) to pull, clean, and analyze general ledger, vendor, and headcount data.
  • Design self-serve dashboards and tools so finance partners and department owners can get answers without ad hoc data requests.
  • Apply AI to finance workflows, including building prompts, agents, and reusable skills, and test their output for accuracy before it reaches users.
  • Set up scheduled tasks and data refreshes so recurring deliverables run on their own.
  • Partner with FP&A, Accounting, and business owners to understand their current workflows, find bottlenecks, and design and document better processes.
  • Build checks that catch data issues early, such as miscoded charges, duplicate spend, or breaks between source systems.
  • Take projects from an initial idea through build, testing, and handoff, and continue improving them after launch.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with Databricks, Snowflake, or another cloud data platform.
  • Experience building AI agents, large language model-powered tools, or reusable prompt workflows.
  • Experience building bots, application programming interfaces, or automations such as Slack apps, scheduled tasks, or workflow tools.
  • Exposure to data visualization tools such as Tableau or Power BI, or experience building simple web dashboards.
  • Coursework or projects in forecasting, time series, or statistical modeling.
  • Familiarity with enterprise resource planning or enterprise performance management systems such as Oracle Fusion or Oracle EPM.
  • Prior internship in financial planning and analysis, accounting, data analytics, or finance systems.
  • Interest in defense, aerospace, or national security.

About the Company

Anduril

Builds autonomous weapons for the US and allies

Anduril builds autonomous weapons, such as drones, cruise missiles, and robot submarines, for the US military and its allies, often developing them with its own money before any order arrives. In 2024 it beat Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman for an Air Force contract to develop Fury, a pilotless jet that flies alongside crewed fighters. Its Lattice software merges camera and radar feeds into one live map and lets a few operators direct many drones and weapons at once, including other companies' systems. Governments buy its systems under contract, and Anduril builds much of the hardware in its own factories. Oculus founder Palmer Luckey co-founded Anduril in 2017, and it is based in Costa Mesa, California.
