True Anomaly is a defense and aerospace company building autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors to secure the space environment and counter threats. As a Network Engineer, you will design, operate, and optimize the enterprise network infrastructure that powers the company's engineering, manufacturing, and cloud-connected environments.
You will work across complex on-premises topologies, hybrid cloud connectivity, and secure networking architectures to ensure reliability, performance, and scalability. Your expertise will directly influence the stability and performance of mission-critical infrastructure in a rapidly growing, high-velocity environment.
Key responsibilities include:
- Architect, deploy, and maintain enterprise network infrastructure including routing, switching, segmentation, VPN, and firewall services
- Operate and support Palo Alto Networks firewalls and Juniper switching/routing platforms (or equivalent vendor experience)
- Build and maintain hybrid connectivity between on-premises environments and major cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, etc.)
- Troubleshoot complex networking issues including routing loops, BGP/OSPF behavior, latency, packet loss, and inter-VLAN connectivity
- Manage network performance, capacity planning, telemetry, and monitoring
- Implement and maintain network security practices including segmentation and firewall rule hygiene
- Support compliance-driven requirements aligned to CMMC and contribute to environments where ITAR or FedRAMP considerations may be present
- Participate in an on-call rotation for critical network escalations
- Document architectures, change plans, diagrams, and runbooks
- Collaborate with infrastructure, security, DevOps, and cloud engineering teams
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field
- 5+ years of experience as a Network Engineer supporting enterprise-class environments
- Strong knowledge of routing/switching protocols (BGP, OSPF, VLANs, VRFs, STP, DNS, DHCP)
- Hands-on experience with firewalls (Palo Alto preferred) and routing/switching (Juniper preferred)
- Experience supporting hybrid or cloud-connected networks (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
- Strong troubleshooting skills with packet captures, performance metrics, and logs
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting priorities
- Excellent communication, documentation, and cross-team collaboration skills
- Familiarity with compliance-driven environments (CMMC, ITAR, FedRAMP) — helpful but not required
- Availability to participate in an on-call rotation
- Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or eligible to obtain required ITAR authorizations
Preferred qualifications include active or previously held TS/SCI clearance, experience with security-focused networking architectures or compliance programs, network automation/scripting (Python, Ansible, Terraform), relevant certifications (PCNSE, JNCIS/JNCIP, CCNP), SD-WAN or multi-site networking experience, and background in aerospace, defense, or high-security environments.
