Senior Platform Engineer, Infrastructure

Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

OUR MISSION

True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

OUR VALUES

Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.

What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.

It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

YOUR MISSION

At True Anomaly, we’re building the next generation of space defense. As we scale, the foundational cloud infrastructure that everything else is built on, including how we run compute, connect our environments, and ship software, becomes one of the most important force multipliers in the company. We are investing in platform engineering as a core operating capability, and this role exists to help make that investment real.

As a Senior Infrastructure Platform Engineer, you will be one of the first hires building the cloud infrastructure and tooling needed to scale our software operations across the company. You will design and ship the foundational infrastructure that the rest of the company relies on, including multi-cloud environments, the connectivity between them, and the paved-road patterns for how software gets built, deployed, and operated. Your work will let engineering teams across True Anomaly move faster and more safely.

The scope is broad by design. Your work will range from building cross-cloud networking between AWS and Azure, to authoring reusable infrastructure-as-code that other teams build on, to contributing to CI/CD and deployment standards that scale across the whole enterprise. You will contribute to platform-level technical decisions about cloud architecture and tooling, own significant systems end to end, and help mentor more junior engineers as the team grows.

The platform engineering org, reporting to the Chief Security Officer, works across the enterprise, from engineering and product to marketing and finance. You will have meaningful autonomy, visibility to executive leadership, and the opportunity to shape how a fast-growing defense technology company builds and operates its infrastructure.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, build, and operate foundational cloud infrastructure that is rolled out across the enterprise, owning significant systems end to end.
• Build and operate the foundational multi-cloud environment, including the account structure, guardrails, and shared networking and identity that every team builds on top of.
• Build the self-service experience for how engineering teams provision accounts, bootstrap resources, and deploy onto paved roads, so teams can move quickly while staying inside a governed, secure foundation.
• Author and maintain reusable infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform) that other teams build on.
• Contribute to CI/CD, testing, and deployment standards that scale across the enterprise rather than any single product, and help drive their adoption.
• Build the self-service tooling and paved-road patterns that let engineering teams provision, deploy, and operate their own systems without depending on a central queue.
• Contribute to technical evaluation and selection of cloud services, infrastructure tooling, and platforms, helping inform build-vs-buy decisions based on capability, compliance requirements, and speed to value.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to more junior engineers through code review, design discussion, and pairing.
• Partner with engineering, security, and IT teams to ensure infrastructure meets government security and compliance requirements across data classification levels.
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Typically 5+ years of software engineering, DevOps, SRE, or cloud engineering experience building and shipping production systems, with demonstrated ability to work independently and deliver complex projects with minimal guidance.
• Strong general software background, with real experience building, deploying, and operating production applications on cloud. You understand a professional software development lifecycle, including how applications are built, tested, released, and run in production. You understand what constitutes maintainable code.
• Solid experience designing and operating cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including deploying and running production workloads.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform), authoring reusable modules and infrastructure that other engineers depend on and build on top of.
• Experience with modern CI/CD, continuous testing, and deployment practices.
• Ability to work across a broad technical surface area, moving …
