Job Description

Join True Anomaly, a company dedicated to delivering decisive capabilities for space superiority. As a Staff Software Engineer on the Digital Engineering team, you will play a crucial role in building the in-house software that serves as the foundation for our product, manufacturing, and operations data. You will set technical direction, architect for scale and reliability, and raise the engineering bar for a growing team. This is an ideal role for a senior full-stack engineer who wants deep ownership of foundational products and enjoys mentoring others.

  • Architect the services, APIs, integrations, and event-driven data flows that connect applications.
  • Build and ship full-stack applications end to end — data model, services and APIs, workflow, and web user interface.
  • Mentor senior and early-career engineers and raise the technical bar across the team.
  • Track record setting technical direction across multiple services or teams and mentoring other engineers, including senior engineers
  • 8+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record designing and shipping production applications, services, and system integrations
  • Cloud and infrastructure fluency (e.g., AWS), plus strong fundamentals across networking, security, and CI/CD
  • Experience building user-facing web applications end to end — from data model and APIs to a modern front end (e.g., TypeScript, React)
  • Deep experience with API design, event-driven architectures, and reliably moving and transforming data between disparate systems
  • Experience building for observability, auditability, and data quality in production
  • Strong grasp of domain data modeling for complex, versioned records, and of keeping data consistent and traceable across multiple systems of record
  • Proficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Go, Python)
  • U.S. Citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. Person) as required under ITAR
  • Experience building, extending, or integrating PLM, ERP, manufacturing execution (MES), requirements/ALM, or MBSE systems
  • Experience migrating an organization from an off-the-shelf system to in-house software, including data migration and user adoption
  • Strong product sense and experience working directly with engineering, manufacturing, or operations users
  • Experience with Go and building products from an early stage
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform), GitOps, and CI/CD
  • Familiarity with digital thread / digital engineering concepts and product-lifecycle data
  • Background in aerospace, defense, or another regulated, hardware-driven domain
