We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.\nWhat would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.\nIt's the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.\nYOUR MISSION\nAs a Senior Software Engineer on the Digital Engineering team, you will build and own major parts of the in-house software behind our digital thread - full-stack applications that become our systems of record for product, manufacturing, and operations data, and the services and integrations that connect them across the product lifecycle. You will take features and services from design to production, lead projects end to end, and help shape the patterns the rest of the team builds on.\nIntegrations bridge the off-the-shelf systems we run today; the larger job is building the software that takes their place. You will work directly with the engineers, buyers, and technicians who use what you build, turning real workflows into software they would rather use - while keeping product data authoritative and traceable.\nThis is an ideal role for an experienced full-stack engineer who wants real ownership, enjoys working close to users, and wants to help build a new software team in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. You'll work in an AI-native environment where using AI to accelerate your impact is expected.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nDesign & Build\nDesign and build full-stack features and services end to end - data model, services and APIs, workflow, and web user interface - and operate them in production.\nModel domain data for systems of record - parts, revisions, BOMs, change orders, and as-built records - with lifecycle states and traceability.\nBuild integrations and event-driven data flows between our software and the off-the-shelf tools it works alongside.\nWrite technical designs for your projects and drive them through review.\nDelivery & Operations\nLead projects from scoping through delivery, breaking down work and keeping it moving.\nCarry out parts of migrations from off-the-shelf tools to in-house software, including data migration, parallel operation, and cutover.\nBuild observability, auditability, and data-quality checks into what you ship, and help run it in production.\nUphold engineering standards through code review, testing, and technical documentation.\nCollaboration & Mentorship\nMentor early-career engineers through pairing, code review, and design feedback.\nWork directly with engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing users to understand real workflows and ship software that fits them.\nWork with the teams that own today's engineering and business systems to design integrations that respect how those systems are run.\nREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS\n5+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record shipping and operating production applications and services.\nExperience building user-facing web applications end to end - from data model and APIs to a modern front end (e.g., TypeScript, React).\nSolid experience with API design, relational data modeling, and reliably moving data between systems.\nExperience leading a project or feature area from design through delivery.\nExperience operating software in production, including monitoring, debugging, and incident response.\nCloud fluency (e.g., AWS) and working knowledge of CI/CD and security fundamentals.\nProficiency in one or more modern programming languages (e.g., Go, Python, TypeScript).\nClear written communication, including technical design documents.\nU.S. Citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. Person) as required under ITAR.\nPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS\nExperience with event-driven architectures and system-integration patterns.\nExperience building, extending, or integrating PLM, ERP, manufacturing execution (MES), requirements/ALM, or MBSE systems.\nExperience with versioned, auditable records and end-to-end traceability.\nExperience migrating users and data from an off-the-shelf system to in-house software.\nStrong product sense and experience working directly with engineering, manufacturing, or operations users.\nExperience with Go, infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform), and GitOps.\nBackground in aerospace, defense, or another regulated, hardware-driven domain.\nCOMPENSATION\nDenver, Colorado Base Salary: $155,000 - $215,000\nLong Beach, California Base Salary: $160,000 - $225,000\nEquity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave\nYour actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience.\nWORK ENVIRONMENT\nThis role operates in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment supporting national security space operations, where adaptability and rapid decision-making are essential.\nRequires coordination across teams, including engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing.\nMay require participation in an on-call and support rotation to keep our software reliable in production.\nOccasional travel to other company sites as needed.\nADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS\nAbility to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.\nWork Location: this role is hybrid/onsite at our facilities in Denver, CO or Long Beach, CA. #LI-Onsite\nWork environment is a standard office setting, working at a desk or on a production factory floor.\nPhysical demands may include frequent standing, sitting, walking, bending, and lifting or carrying items up to 20 lbs.\nThis position will be open until it is successfully filled.\nTo conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.\nTrue Anomaly is committed to equal employment opportunity on any basis protected by applicable state and federal laws.
