Senior Software Engineer (Digital Engineering)

• True 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
• As a Senior Software Engineer on the Digital Engineering team, you will build and own major parts of the in-house software behind our digital thread — full-stack applications that become our systems of record for product, manufacturing, and operations data, and the services and integrations that connect them across the product lifecycle. You will take features and services from design to production, lead projects end to end, and help shape the patterns the rest of the team builds on
• Integrations bridge the off-the-shelf systems we run today; the larger job is building the software that takes their place. You will work directly with the engineers, buyers, and technicians who use what you build, turning real workflows into software they would rather use — while keeping product data authoritative and traceable
• This is an ideal role for an experienced full-stack engineer who wants real ownership, enjoys working close to users, and wants to help build a new software team in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment. You’ll work in an AI-native environment where using AI to accelerate your impact is expected
• Design & Build
• Design and build full-stack features and services end to end — data model, services and APIs, workflow, and web user interface — and operate them in production
• Model domain data for systems of record — parts, revisions, BOMs, change orders, and as-built records — with lifecycle states and traceability
• Build integrations and event-driven data flows between our software and the off-the-shelf tools it works alongside
• Write technical designs for your projects and drive them through review
• Delivery & Operations
• Lead projects from scoping through delivery, breaking down work and keeping it moving
• Carry out parts of migrations from off-the-shelf tools to in-house software, including data migration, parallel operation, and cutover
• Build observability, auditability, and data-quality checks into what you ship, and help run it in production
• Uphold engineering standards through code review, testing, and technical documentation
• Collaboration & Mentorship
• Mentor early-career engineers through pairing, code review, and design feedback
• Work directly with engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing users to understand real workflows and ship software that fits them
• Work with the teams that own today’s engineering and business systems to design integrations that respect how those systems are run
• This role operates in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment supporting national security space operations, where adaptability and rapid decision-making are essential
• Requires coordination across teams, including engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing
• May require participation in an on-call and support rotation to keep our software reliable in production
• Occasional travel to other company sites as needed
• Physical demands may include frequent standing, sitting, walking, bending, and lifting or carrying items up to 20 lbs
