About the team
The Enterprise SG&A team within Corporate Finance builds the systems that power Anduril's SG&A finance teams. That means the data pipelines, automations, dashboards, and AI tools that finance partners use to plan, forecast, report, and close. As Anduril scales, our job is to make sure the finance organization's tooling scales with it.
We're looking for an intern who wants to work where finance, data, and AI meet. You'll work with real data from day one, ship tools that finance teams and department owners use every month, and take on a wide range of projects.
What you'll do
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 GL, 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 testing 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 how they work today, 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 a rough idea through build, testing, and handoff, and keep improving them after they launch
We're looking for someone who treats the initial ask as a starting point. If you're asked for a one-time analysis and see that it should be a repeatable tool, or you're fixing a broken number and find the upstream cause, we want you to chase it.
Required qualifications
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]
Working knowledge of SQL and Python
Strong Excel skills and the ability to build clean, traceable models
Basic understanding of financial statements and how a P&L is built
Fluency with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar), including prompt engineering: writing clear, structured prompts, iterating on them to improve output quality, and knowing when AI output needs a human check
Strong attention to detail and comfort being held to numbers that tie
Clear written and verbal communication, including explaining technical work to non-technical stakeholders
Comfortable with ambiguity and juggling several projects at once in a fast-moving environment
Must be authorized to work in the United States
Preferred qualifications
Experience with Databricks, Snowflake, or another cloud data platform
Experience building AI agents, LLM-powered tools, or reusable prompt workflows
Experience building bots, APIs, or automations (Slack apps, scheduled tasks, workflow tools)
Exposure to data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI) or building simple web dashboards
Coursework or projects in forecasting, time series, or statistical modeling
Familiarity with ERP or EPM systems such as Oracle Fusion or Oracle EPM
Prior internship in FP&A, accounting, data analytics, or finance systems
Interest in defense, aerospace, or national security
