Description
Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
OUR MISSION
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
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
As a Mission Security Engineer III, you will be a critical technical expert securing national security space systems, classified ground-based Command and Control (C2) infrastructure, and space vehicle hardware and software.
This is a hands-on role that blends deep technical Information Technology (IT) expertise with cybersecurity and compliance acumen. We are looking for candidates with deep expertise in at least one of the following disciplines:
Cybersecurity compliance (NIST 800-53 controls implementation and validation)
DevSecOps
Software Development
Operating systems & hosting (Windows / Linux)
Cloud infrastructure deployment (AWS/Azure)
Containerization infrastructure, Kubernetes, EKS, AKS
Boundary protection
Endpoint Detection and Response / Extended Detection and Response (EDR/XDR)
Security Information and Event Management / Security Operations Center (SIEM/SOC) deployment
You will work as part of a highly capable, cross-functional team to design, deploy, measure, and document classified systems from the ground up — navigating dynamic, cross-program priorities that change daily. You will be responsible for ensuring our systems meet the most rigorous federal security standards while accelerating delivery of critical warfighting capabilities to Department of War and Intelligence Community customers.
This is an ideal role for a security-focused technologist with deep IT or cybersecurity technical skills who is eager to take novel, innovative approaches to cybersecurity and compliance. If you're energized by the challenges of securing mission-critical systems that protect lives and national interests, join our team.
Responsibilities
Implement end-to-end security controls for ground-based C2 systems, spacecraft hardware and software platforms, spanning firmware, embedded systems, cloud-native applications, and operational technology
Ensure security architectures enable effective monitoring, logging, and incident response without compromising operational tempo
Implement security controls and zero trust architecture throughout the product development lifecycle, minimizing RMF findings through strong upfront engineering
Implement and validate DISA STIG requirements at the OS, container, platform, and application layers within products as they are developed
Integrate RMF controls into CI/CD pipelines through DevSecOps practices including Infrastructure as Code (IaC), automated security scanning, and continuous monitoring tooling
Identify and remediate findings from STIGs, vulnerability scans, penetration testing, and SCA activities to maintain ATO posture
Support all RMF Steps 1–6, with emphasis on control implementation, assessment preparation, and remediation for DoD and IC programs
Ensure compliance with NIST 800-53, CNSSI 1253, ICD 503, JSIG, and other applicable frameworks for National Security Systems (NSS) handling classified information up to TS/SCI
Support cloud Provisional Authorization (PA) and inherited control models across classified cloud environments (e.g., Impact Level (IL)-6 Cloud Service Providers (CSPs))
Contribute technically to security artifacts including SSPs, SAPs, SARs, and POA&Ms
