What the job involves

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,…
