YOUR MISSION

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 help make that investment real.

As a Senior Infrastructure Platform Engineer, you will be one of the first hires building the cloud infrastructure and tooling needed to scale our software operations across the company. 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 building cross-cloud networking between AWS and Azure, to authoring reusable infrastructure-as-code that other teams build on, to contributing to CI/CD and deployment standards that scale across the whole enterprise. You will contribute to platform-level technical decisions about cloud architecture and tooling, own significant systems end to end, and help mentor more junior engineers as the team grows.

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.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, build, and operate foundational cloud infrastructure that is rolled out across the enterprise, owning significant systems end to end.
• Build and operate the foundational multi-cloud environment, including the account structure, guardrails, and shared networking and identity that every team builds on top of.
• Build the self-service experience for how engineering teams provision accounts, bootstrap resources, and deploy onto paved roads, so teams can move quickly while staying inside a governed, secure foundation.
• Author and maintain reusable infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform) that other teams build on.
• Contribute to CI/CD, testing, and deployment standards that scale across the enterprise rather than any single product, and help drive their adoption.
• Build the self-service tooling and paved-road patterns that let engineering teams provision, deploy, and operate their own systems without depending on a central queue.
• Contribute to technical evaluation and selection of cloud services, infrastructure tooling, and platforms, helping inform build-vs-buy decisions based on capability, compliance requirements, and speed to value.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to more junior engineers through code review, design discussion, and pairing.
• Partner with engineering, security, and IT teams to ensure infrastructure meets government security and compliance requirements across data classification levels.
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools to accelerate delivery.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Typically 5+ years of software engineering, DevOps, SRE, or cloud engineering experience building and shipping production systems, with demonstrated ability to work independently and deliver complex projects with minimal guidance.
• Strong general software background, with real experience building, deploying, and operating production applications on cloud. You understand a professional software development lifecycle, including how applications are built, tested, released, and run in production. You understand what constitutes maintainable code.
• Solid experience designing and operating cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including deploying and running production workloads.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform), authoring reusable modules and infrastructure that other engineers depend on and build on top of.
• Experience with modern CI/CD, continuous testing, and deployment practices.
• Ability to work across a broad technical surface area, moving between infrastructure, application development, and platform work as priorities require.
• Depth in one or more of: CI/CD and build/release tooling, cloud networking, infrastructure-as-code, or developer platforms and shared engineering tooling, with working familiarity across the rest.
• A trusted technical contributor on your team who owns systems end to end, brings strong design judgment, and leads and mentors more junior engineers.
• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals (e.g. HTTP, ports, DNS, firewalls, security groups, cloud networking primitives) sufficient to build and troubleshoot connectivity between environments.
• Effective communication skills and the ability to work across teams to understand requirements and align on solutions.
• Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift and the playbook is being written in real time. Able to work through ambiguity to define requirements and deliver results.
• US Citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a Top-Secret security clearance.

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Enterprise experience building and operating infrastructure at scale in a high-growth or large technology organization.
• Experience with containers and orchestration, service mesh, and artifact/registry management.
• Experience designing and improving the developer experience, or building and maintaining the core developer processes and automation that engineering teams rely on.
• Familiarity with government cloud environments (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government) and authorization frameworks (FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, IL4/IL5).
• Experience deploying infrastructure in government, defense, or regulated environments with security and compliance constraints.
• Experience designing or maintaining an enterprise network.
• Experience with observability, reliability engineering, IAM/secrets management.
• Experience using AI-powered development tools to deliver production code and automate routine work.
• Background in developer tooling, platform engineering, or internal platform teams at high-growth technology companies.
• Active U.S. Secret or Top-Secret security clearance.
