Software Integration Engineer

Space is a war fighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

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.

• Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
• What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
• It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

Software is the central nervous system for True Anomaly's engineering and product thesis. Software bridges the gap between military objectives, theoretical astrodynamics and the human and autonomous control of spacecraft and ground systems in time and space. As a Software Integration Engineer at True Anomaly, you will operate across the full mission software stack to solve the most critical technical challenges facing our spacecraft and operations teams.

You will improve mission success through hands‑on engineering, architectural leadership, rapid debugging, and cross‑functional technical execution.

This is a hands‑on, high‑autonomy, high‑accountability role. You'll own entire service domains from conception to production, drive architectural decisions that affect the distributed systems powering our software stack, and set the standard for code quality that others will follow. You won’t wait to be assigned work; you’ll identify what needs to be done, propose solutions, and drive them to completion. When you see reliability issues, you’ll diagnose root causes, scope the fix, and champion the work to address them.

When patterns aren’t serving us, you’ll propose better ones and lead their adoption.

• Own and deliver complex distributed system features end‑to‑end, from technical design through production deployment and iteration across satellite command and control, mission planning, mission data processing, and data analysis systems
• Lead architectural improvements through hands‑on implementation, prototyping, debugging, and technical excellence.
• Operate with high autonomy to proactively identify and solve technical problems without predefined tasking.
• Rapidly develop expertise in unfamiliar subsystems, software domains, and mission architectures as needed to support mission success.
• Develop and improve software systems used for simulation, autonomy development, mission rehearsal, and operational test environments.
• Drive software integration efforts across embedded, distributed, and cloud‑connected systems.
• Contribute production‑quality software in C++, Elixir, Type Script, backend services, distributed systems, developer tooling, and mission‑critical infrastructure.
• Set the quality bar through rigorous code review, championing testing practices, and writing code that serves as a reference implementation for the team.
• Partner closely with software, autonomy, hardware, test, and operations teams to reduce technical friction and improve engineering velocity.
• Communicate complex technical systems clearly to engineers, operators, and leadership.
• Identify long‑term architectural risks and technical debt and execute pragmatic solutions that improve mission capability without sacrificing delivery timelines.
• Support critical mission events, anomaly response, and operational debugging in fast‑paced environments with incomplete information.
• Mentor engineers through technical reviews, debugging sessions, and collaborative system design discussions.
• Drive improvements to internal engineering tooling, workflows, and software development practices where they meaningfully increase team effectiveness.

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, aerospace engineering, or related field.
• 7+ years of experience building complex software systems across embedded, backend, validation, and operational domains.
• Fluency with gRPC, RESTful, and Web Socket‑based services, including debugging integration issues and contributing to API design discussions.
