Join True Anomaly, a fast-growing defense technology company, as a Staff Infrastructure Platform Engineer. In this role, you will design and build the foundational cloud infrastructure that every engineering team relies on. You will have meaningful autonomy, visibility to executive leadership, and the opportunity to shape how the company builds and operates its infrastructure.

• Design and ship the foundational infrastructure that the rest of the company relies on, including multi-cloud environments and deployment standards.
• Own platform-level technical decisions about cloud architecture, tooling, and build-vs-buy, and lead, coach, and mentor the first infrastructure engineers on the team.
• Establish CI/CD, testing, and deployment standards that scale across the enterprise, and drive their adoption across teams.
• Active U.S. Secret or Top-Secret security clearance
• Background in developer tooling, platform engineering, or internal platform teams at high-growth technology companies
• Experience with observability, reliability engineering, IAM/secrets management
• Experience designing or maintaining an enterprise network
• Experience deploying infrastructure in government, defense, or regulated environments with security and compliance constraints
• Familiarity with government cloud environments (AWS GovCloud, Azure Government) and authorization frameworks (FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, IL4/IL5)
• Experience designing and improving the developer experience, or building and maintaining the core developer processes and automation that engineering teams rely on
• 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
• US Citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a Top-Secret security clearance
• Self-directed and comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-paced environment where priorities shift and the playbook is being written in real time. Able to work through significant ambiguity to define requirements and deliver results
• Ability to exercise cross-organizational influence and to coach and mentor a team through the delivery of complex technical projects
• Experience using AI-powered development tools to deliver production code and automate routine work, and the ability to leverage AI as a force multiplier for yourself and your team
• Working knowledge of networking fundamentals (e.g. HTTP, ports, DNS, firewalls, security groups, cloud networking primitives) sufficient to design and troubleshoot connectivity between environments
• Experience building and setting modern CI/CD, continuous testing, and deployment standards, and driving their adoption across multiple teams or products
• Demonstrated ability to work across a broad technical surface area, context-switching between infrastructure, application development, and platform architecture, and to work across teams to understand requirements and seek consensus
• Recognized depth in one or more of: CI/CD and build/release tooling, cloud networking, infrastructure-as-code at scale, or developer platforms and shared engineering tooling, with working fluency across the rest
• Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform), authoring and maintaining reusable modules and infrastructure that other engineers depend on and build on top of
• Deep experience designing and operating cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including deploying and running production workloads at scale
• Strong general software background, with real experience building, deploying, and operating production applications on cloud. You understand a professional software development lifecycle end to end, including how applications are built, tested, released, and run in production. You understand what constitutes maintainable code
• Typically 8+ years of software engineering, DevOps, SRE, or cloud engineering experience with a track record of technical leadership, including owning roadmaps, making architectural decisions, and mentoring engineers
