What is a Software Engineer at True Anomaly?
As a Software Engineer at True Anomaly, you will build the software that serves as the central nervous system for our spacecraft, mission control, and distributed ground systems. Our mission is to safeguard space security and sustainability by building cutting-edge technology at the intersection of spacecraft, autonomous systems, and tactical software. The applications you develop will bridge the gap between military objectives, advanced astrodynamics, and real-time human and autonomous control of spacecraft.
In this role, you will work on highly complex, greenfield problems where off-the-shelf solutions do not exist. You will contribute to our advanced mission control platform, designing systems that process high-throughput telemetry, coordinate satellite commands, and render complex 2D and 3D space environments. Your work directly impacts national security, space situational awareness, and the operational capabilities of the U.S. and its allies.
Whether you are optimizing a distributed backend in Elixir, building a highly responsive React and TypeScript frontend, or developing low-level telemetry pipelines in C++ or Python, you will be given immense ownership. You will collaborate daily with space operators, hardware designers, and astrodynamics algorithm engineers to build resilient, fault-tolerant systems capable of operating under extreme conditions.
