Software engineer jobs in Denver, CO

About the role

At True Anomaly, we’re building the next generation of space defense. As we scale, the foundational cloud infrastructure that everything else is built on, including how we run compute, connect our environments, and ship software, becomes one of the most important force multipliers in the company. We are investing in platform engineering as a core operating capability, and this role exists to make that investment real. As a Staff Infrastructure Platform Engineer, you will be one of the first hires building the cloud infrastructure, tooling, and standards that every engineering team across the company depends on. You will design and ship the foundational infrastructure that the rest of the company relies on, including multi-cloud environments, the connectivity between them, and the paved-road patterns for how software gets built, deployed, and operated. Your work will range from designing cross-cloud networking between AWS and Azure, to authoring reusable infrastructure-as-code that other teams build on, to establishing CI/CD and deployment standards that scale across the whole enterprise. You will own platform-level technical decisions about cloud architecture, tooling, and build-vs-buy, and you will be the technical anchor for the first infrastructure engineers on the team, leading, coaching, and mentoring them as we grow the function. As a technical leader on the team, you’ll be expected to bring a breadth of cross-discipline experience from areas like software engineering, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, systems design, and technical decision-making. You will partner with senior leaders across the organization, exercise cross-organizational influence to align teams on shared standards, and work through significant ambiguity to establish technical requirements and deliver results. You will coach and mentor a team through the delivery of complex technical projects, and set the technical bar for how infrastructure is built at True Anomaly.

What you'll bring

• 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.
• 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.
• Deep experience designing and operating cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including deploying and running production workloads at scale.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• Ability to exercise cross-organizational influence and to coach and mentor a team through the delivery of complex technical projects.
