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.

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 Software is the central nervous system for True Anomaly's engineering and product thesis.

Software bridges the gap between military objectives, theoretical astrodynamics and the human and autonomous control of spacecraft and ground systems in time and space. True Anomaly is seeking an exceptional Engineering Manager, Ground Software to lead a team of talented engineers driving the direction and evolution of our distributed, multi-faceted ground software system. This is a high-impact, strategic leadership role.

You'll build and develop a cross-functional team of front-end, back-end, and full-stack engineers, define and drive the technical roadmap for your product area, lead cross-functional initiatives that span engineering, product, and operations, and establish the architectural and operating foundations that will scale our ground platform for years to come. You'll identify strategic technical investments, champion them across the organization, and lead their execution. You won't just ship features; you'll shape the product direction, influence company objectives, and grow the engineers who will build the next generation of our platform.

When you see systemic issues affecting reliability, velocity, or quality, you'll diagnose root causes, build consensus around solutions, and drive organizational change to address them. You do not need to have experience building space ground systems or experience in aerospace.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Build, lead, and develop a cross-functional squad of front-end, back-end, and full-stack engineers who own a Mosaic product area end-to-end Own the squad's delivery, quality, and team health, running sprint rituals that serve the work and protecting the team's ability to focus Run effective 1:1s, give timely and specific feedback, and grow engineers along both technical and management career paths Stay close enough to the code to earn trust and make informed decisions, contributing directly when the situation calls for it Drive the technical roadmap for your product area, including the recurring judgment of whether a new capability belongs in the product or in the shared Mosaic platform layer Champion strategic technical investments — testing, observability, internal tooling, debt reduction — and make the case for the engineering time they require Partner with the Product Owner as the technical counterpart in defining scope, timelines, and trade-offs Coordinate cross-team work with other Ground Software squads on shared APIs, components, and platform capabilities Manage the squad's relationship with Space Operations, the Simulation team, DevOps, and other stakeholders through structured channels Lead incident response when production issues affect operators, and drive blameless post-mortems that prevent recurrence Help define what a product-aligned squad looks like at Mosaic, establishing patterns that will shape future squads as the organization scales
