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
YOUR MISSION
AI-assisted work is the biggest force multiplier available to a company at True Anomaly's stage. It accelerates how we build, how we deliver, and how we scale. We are investing in AI as a core operating capability, not a side experiment, and this role exists to help make that investment real.
As a Senior AI Platform Engineer, you will build the infrastructure, tooling, and integrations that put AI directly into the hands and workflows of every team across the company. This is not a research role. It is a building role. You will ship capabilities that engineers, program managers, operators, and business teams use every day to move faster and produce better work.
The scope is broad by design. You may be standing up on-premises GPU infrastructure one week, building connectors between AI models and internal systems the next, and developing a custom application for a specific business workflow after that. You will contribute to platform-level technical decisions about AI providers, tools, and architectures. You will also help build and deliver AI training and enablement for the company, including office hours, brown bags, and hands-on resources.
This role reports to the Chief Security Officer and works across every function. You will have meaningful autonomy, direct visibility to executive leadership, and the opportunity to shape how a fast-growing defense technology company operates with AI.
