True Anomaly is building autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors to secure the space environment and counter threats. Software is central to their engineering thesis, bridging military objectives, astrodynamics, and human/autonomous control of spacecraft and ground systems.
You will own entire service domains for their distributed spacecraft ground control system, from conception to production. This is a high-autonomy, high-accountability role where you'll drive architectural decisions affecting distributed systems powering ground control infrastructure and set code quality standards for junior and mid-level engineers.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own and deliver complex distributed system features end-to-end across satellite command and control, mission planning, mission data processing, and data analysis systems
- Drive architectural decisions and technical design for service domains
- Identify reliability issues, diagnose root causes, and champion fixes
- Propose and lead adoption of better patterns and practices
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code quality and example
- Take high ownership of greenfield problems with direct impact on company outcomes
You don't need aerospace or space ground systems experience—the role values strong distributed systems thinking, Elixir expertise, and the ability to own complex technical problems end-to-end. The company offers competitive compensation, generous stock options, platinum healthcare, and flexible work arrangements.
