At True Anomaly, we’re building the next generation of space defense. As we scale, the foundational cloud infrastructure that everything else is built on, including how we run compute, connect our environments, and ship software, becomes one of the most important force multipliers in the company. We are investing in platform engineering as a core operating capability, and this role exists to make that investment real.

As a Staff Infrastructure Platform Engineer, you will be one of the first hires building the cloud infrastructure, tooling, and standards that every engineering team across the company depends on. You will design and ship the foundational infrastructure that the rest of the company relies on, including multi-cloud environments, the connectivity between them, and the paved-road patterns for how software gets built, deployed, and operated. Your work will let engineering teams across True Anomaly move faster and more safely.

The scope is broad by design. Your work will range from designing cross-cloud networking between AWS and Azure, to authoring reusable infrastructure-as-code that other teams build on, to establishing CI/CD and deployment standards that scale across the whole enterprise. You will own platform-level technical decisions about cloud architecture, tooling, and build-vs-buy, and you will be the technical anchor for the first infrastructure engineers on the team, leading, coaching, and mentoring them as we grow the function.

The platform engineering org, reporting to the Chief Security Officer, works across the enterprise, from engineering and product to marketing and finance. You will have meaningful autonomy, visibility to executive leadership, and the opportunity to shape how a fast-growing defense technology company builds and operates its infrastructure.

As a technical leader on the team, you’ll be expected
