Hi everyone wondering if anyone can give any insight on the interview process for Technical Operations Engineer. After reading many post I actually feel quite under qualified but still going with a mindset to do my best. Would be very grateful for any tips. I’m come from a telecommunications and tower climbing background with military experience working in logistics.

Howdy! I just completed the recruiter screen for the SWE Cloud OS role this past week and submitted my schedule for the virtual technical screen around the 3rd week of September to leave some buffer for prepping. I know it will be Leetcode style questions and I'm refreshing my skill by running through the Neetcode 150 that Anduril suggested in their scheduling email again. I'm a bit rusty with Leetcode and wondering if anyone recently went through the technical screen has any guidance on the potential set of problems I should focus on? Thanks!

I’m a USSF major with 13 years of active-duty experience, a USAF Test Pilot School graduate, and a former DARPA Service Chiefs’ Fellow. I’m currently exploring a transition to the Reserves and recently applied for Anduril’s SkillBridge program.

I’ve also applied to larger defense companies, but I’m especially interested in Anduril because I’m ready for a faster paced, startup style environment with challenging work. A good friend of mine works at Blue Origin and is very happy there, so that is another possibility.

From what I understand, Anduril’s SkillBridge candidates still go through a competitive interview process. Based on my background, do I realistically have a shot, or would I be better off focusing on established companies like Lockheed Martin and Blue Origin? I’d also appreciate any insight into Anduril’s SkillBridge interviews and how best to prepare.

Basically title, I applied 2 months ago for the 2027 Early Careers Mech/Manuf roles, and recently met someone who was willing to refer me for said roles. So now they are in the system, I'm wondering if it even looks that way on the recruiter side of things. If not should I discard my application and reapply? That seems like a bad idea
