True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.\nOUR MISSION\nTrue 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.\nOUR VALUES\nBe the offset. 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.\nBENEFITS & PERKS*\nBest-in-class healthcare: 100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents, with HSA/HRA options\n Generous time off: Flexible Time Off (FTO) for exempt employees, accrued PTO of up to 25 days for non-exempt employees, plus 12 paid holidays; Parental Leave; Sick Leave\nFuel for your day: Daily catered lunch and unlimited snacks for in-office employees\n And more: 401(k) retirement plan, fitness reimbursement, and Dog Fridays\nEquity participation: Equity is included as part of our total compensation package, giving you an opportunity to share in the company’s success.\n*Do not apply to fixed term and temporary roles\nYOUR MISSION\nSoftware is the central nervous system for True Anomaly's engineering and product thesis. Software bridges the gap between military objectives, theoretical astrodynamics and the human and autonomous control of spacecraft and ground systems in time and space. As a Software Integration Engineer at True Anomaly, you will operate across the full mission software stack to solve the most critical technical challenges facing our spacecraft and operations teams. You will improve mission success through hands-on engineering, architectural leadership, rapid debugging, and cross-functional technical execution. \nThis is a hands-on, high-autonomy, high-accountability role. You'll own entire service domains from conception to production, drive architectural decisions that affect the distributed systems powering our software stack, and set the standard for code quality that others will follow. You won't wait to be assigned work; you'll identify what needs to be done, propose solutions, and drive them to completion. When you see reliability issues, you'll diagnose root causes, scope the fix, and champion the work to address them. When patterns aren't serving us, you'll propose better ones and lead their adoption. \nRESPONSIBILITIES\nOwn and deliver complex distributed system features end-to-end, from technical design through production deployment and iteration across satellite command and control, mission planning, mission data processing, and data analysis systems \nLead architectural improvements through hands-on implementation, prototyping, debugging, and technical excellence. \nOperate with high autonomy to proactively identify and solve technical problems without predefined tasking. \nRapidly develop expertise in unfamiliar subsystems, software domains, and mission architectures as needed to support mission success. \nDevelop and improve software systems used for simulation, autonomy development, mission rehearsal, and operational test environments. \nDrive software integration efforts across embedded, distributed, and cloud-connected systems. \nContribute production-quality software in C++, Elixir, TypeScript, backend services, distributed systems, developer tooling, and mission-critical infrastructure. \nSet the quality bar through rigorous code review, championing testing practices, and writing code that serves as a reference implementation for the team \nPartner closely with software, autonomy, hardware, test, and operations teams to reduce technical friction and improve engineering velocity. \nCommunicate complex technical systems clearly to engineers, operators, and leadership. \nIdentify long-term architectural risks and technical debt and execute pragmatic solutions that improve mission capability without sacrificing delivery timelines. \nSupport critical mission events, anomaly response, and operational debugging in fast-paced environments with incomplete information. \nMentor engineers through technical reviews, debugging sessions, and collaborative system design discussions. \nDrive improvements to internal engineering tooling, workflows, and software development practices where they meaningfully increase team effectiveness. \nQUALIFICATIONS\nBachelor's degree in computer science, aerospace engineering, or related field. \n1 to 7+ years of experience building complex software systems across embedded, backend, validation, and operational domains. \nFluency with gRPC, RESTful, and WebSocket-based services, including debugging integration issues and contributing to API design discussions \nSignificant experience across several of the following areas: \nExperience with low-level device driver development and safety-critical systems. \nExperience with embedded RTOS environments such as RTLinux, VxWorks, or RTEMS. \nExperience developing simulation environments for spaceflight physics \nUnderstanding of autonomy, guidance, navigation, and control algorithms, including estimation, sensor fusion, targeting, and closed-loop control systems. \nExperience debugging complex multi-process, multi-threaded, or distributed systems under operational conditions. \nExperience supporting spacecraft, robotics, defense, or other mission-critical operational systems. \nExperience in designing, building, and evolving service architectures and internal infrastructure that serve multiple products. \nStrong familiarity with Linux development and debugging environments. \nAbility to maintain or obtain TS/SCI clearance. \nPREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE\nMaster’s degree in computer science, aerospace engineering, or related field. \n10+ years of experience in developing and/or producing flight software, GNC, simulation, or ground software for space applications. \nExpert-level command of Elixir and OTP, including deep understanding of BEAM internals, scheduling, process architecture, supervision strategies, and runtime characteristics \nExperience building and shipping complex, real-time systems with demanding reliability and performance requirements (real-time telemetry, large-scale data processing, mission-critical operations) \nStrong collaboration and communication skills that let you thrive in a culture that values respectful, professional, and constructive conflict \nCOMPENSATION\nBase Salary: $90,000 - $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 determinedon a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience. \nADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS\nWork Location -Successful candidates will be located near Denver, CO or Long Beach, CA. \nWork environment -the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.\nPhysical demands -the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.\nThis position will be open until it is successfully filled.
