True Anomaly builds autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors to secure the space environment and counter threats. The Digital Engineering team is responsible for the in-house software behind the digital thread—applications and services that keep product data connected across the product lifecycle and serve as systems of record for engineering teams.
As a Software Engineer (levels I–III), you will help build, operate, and maintain this critical infrastructure. You'll ship real features across the stack from day one, working alongside senior and staff engineers who will invest in your growth. This is a high-growth role in a fast-paced environment where your work has immediate, visible impact.
You will learn the product-data domain—how requirements, design, PLM, ERP, manufacturing, and quality data connect—while contributing directly to delivery and operations. This role is ideal for an engineer early in their career or a few years in who is eager to learn, takes ownership, and wants to grow quickly.
Responsibilities include:
- Build features across the stack (services, APIs, data models, web UIs) with guidance from senior engineers, growing in independence over time.
- Implement data flows, mappings, and workflow automation between in-house software and existing engineering systems.
- Help migrate data and users onto in-house software as it replaces off-the-shelf tools.
- At level III, own features end-to-end from design through production.
- Write tests, contribute to code reviews, and keep applications observable and reliable.
- Help operate software in production, including monitoring, triage, and resolving user-reported, sync, and data-quality issues.
- Write clear technical documentation and deepen your understanding of the engineering ecosystem.
The role operates in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment supporting national security space operations. Participation in on-call and support rotations may be required as you grow. Occasional travel to other company sites may be needed. The work environment includes both standard office settings and production factory floors, with physical demands including frequent standing, sitting, walking, bending, and lifting up to 20 lbs.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Up to ~5 years of software development experience; internships, academic, or equivalent projects count for early-career candidates.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Proficiency in at least one modern programming language and willingness to work in the company stack (e.g., Go, TypeScript).
- Understanding of APIs, databases, web application fundamentals, and basic distributed-systems concepts.
- Solid problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn the product-data domain.
- Good written communication and collaboration habits.
- U.S. Citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. Person) as required under ITAR.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience building web applications (TypeScript, React) through work, internships, coursework, or personal projects.
- Exposure to system integrations, data pipelines, or event-driven services.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS), CI/CD, and testing practices.
- Any exposure to PLM, ERP, manufacturing execution (MES), requirements/ALM, or MBSE systems.
- Interest in aerospace, defense, or engineering data.
