Job description

Overview

A new space race has begun. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build innovative technology that solves the next generation of engineering, manufacturing, and operational challenges for space security and sustainability.

OUR MISSION

The peaceful use of space is essential for continued prosperity on Earth—from communications and finance to navigation and logistics. True Anomaly builds innovative technology at the intersection of spacecraft, software, and AI to enhance the capabilities of the U.S., its allies, and commercial partners. We safeguard global security by ensuring space access and sustainability for all.

OUR VALUES

  • 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

YOUR MISSION

At True Anomaly, software is the nervous system of our spacecraft, simulations, and mission operations. As Vice President of Software, you'll own the vision and execution of the software stack that makes space superiority real : from autonomous spacecraft flight code to scalable ground infrastructure, real-time simulations, AI-driven decision tools, and visualization platforms that give operators clarity and speed in the fight.

You'll lead and grow a multidisciplinary team that thrives at the intersection of mission urgency and engineering excellence. Your mandate : deliver secure, resilient, and certifiable systems at the speed of conflict. That means building architectures that scale, pipelines that move fast without breaking, and visualization capabilities that transform data into actionable decisions. Above all, you'll set and enforce a culture of excellence, accountability, and delivery — where performance standards are as high as the stakes.

This role demands a rare mix : deep technical fluency across embedded, autonomy, and cloud layers and the ability to shape strategy, trade-offs, and roadmaps that span multiple products and operational contexts. Your leadership will define how our constellation maneuvers, how our operators train, how decisions get made in real time, and ultimately how our allies prevail in contested space.

Collaboration is key. You'll work hand-in-hand with Product, Hardware, Operations, and Executive teams to align technical breakthroughs with business objectives, ensuring True Anomaly delivers not just capability, but advantage.

If you're driven to build world-class teams, engineer for speed and resilience, and want your work to matter in the most contested domain of the 21st century — this is your mission.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Lead the full software enterprise — from flight code and autonomy frameworks to mission systems, DevSecOps, ground software, simulation infrastructure, and AI / ML-enabled applications.
  • Own the architecture and product roadmap — set the technical vision, drive modular and resilient designs, and align execution with strategic capability growth.
  • Build and scale a world-class organization — recruit top talent, develop the next generation of technical leaders, and set a culture of excellence, accountability, and delivery.
  • Drive the development lifecycle — enforce standards for CI / CD, validation, configuration control, certification, and simulation fidelity, ensuring speed without sacrificing rigor.
  • Partner across functions — work shoulder-to-shoulder with peers in Hardware, Production, Test, and Mission Operations to deliver integrated systems at operational tempo.
  • Champion compliance and trust — meet and exceed RMF, and other defense software requirements while enabling innovation under constraint.
  • Shape the future of mission software — balance near-term program execution with long-term architectural bets that deliver decisive advantage.
  • Command resources with intent — own budgets, vendors, and scaling strategies that keep the software team lean, agile, and mission-ready.
  • BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or related field
  • 15+ years of experience in embedded software and systems engineering, with at least 5 years in executive or senior leadership roles
  • Proven leadership of software organizations
  • Experience delivering mission-critical software in aerospace, defense, automotive, or similarly regulated industries
  • Fluent across the stack — from C / C++, React and real-time operating systems to DevOps pipelines, system integration, and front-end / back-end platforms.
  • Excellent communication skills, emotional intelligence and a passion for leadership
  • The ability to obtain and maintain a TS / SCI clearance
  • PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience fielding flight software or autonomy systems in space or aerospace platforms
  • Familiarity with AI / ML operations, sensor fusion, and ground system architectures
  • Track record scaling products from prototype to deployment across multiple customer platforms
  • Executive experience managing software across multiple product baselines
  • COMPENSATION

  • Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA / HSA options, FTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave
  • Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations : job-related knowledge and skills, education and experience.

    To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

    True Anomaly is committed to equal employment opportunity on any basis protected by applicable state and federal laws. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us.
