True Anomaly
Overview
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. VP of Software Your mission is to own the vision and execution of the software stack that enables space superiority: from autonomous spacecraft flight code to scalable ground infrastructure, real-time simulations, AI-driven decision tools, and visualization platforms that give operators clarity and speed in the fight. You will lead and grow a multidisciplinary team at the intersection of mission urgency and engineering excellence, delivering secure, resilient, and certifiable systems. You will set and enforce a culture of excellence, accountability, and delivery, with performance standards matched to the stakes. This role requires deep technical fluency across embedded, autonomy, and cloud layers and the ability to shape strategy and roadmaps that span multiple products and contexts. Your leadership will influence how our constellation maneuvers, how operators train, how decisions are made in real time, and how allies prevail in contested space. Collaboration is essential. You’ll work with Product, Hardware, Operations, and Executive teams to align technical breakthroughs with business objectives and deliver true advantage. If you are driven to build world-class teams, engineer for speed and resilience, and want your work to matter in the most contested domain of the 21st century — this is your mission. RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead the full software enterprise — from flight code and autonomy frameworks to mission systems, DevSecOps, ground software, simulation infrastructure, and AI/ML-enabled applications. Own the architecture and product roadmap — set the technical vision, drive modular and resilient designs, and align execution with strategic capability growth. Build and scale a world-class organization — recruit top talent, develop leaders, and instill a culture of excellence, accountability, and delivery. Drive the development lifecycle — enforce standards for CI/CD, validation, configuration control, certification, and simulation fidelity, ensuring speed with rigor. Partner across functions — collaborate with Hardware, Production, Test, and Mission Operations to deliver integrated systems at operational tempo. Champion compliance and trust — meet and exceed RMF and other defense software requirements while enabling innovation under constraint. Shape the future of mission software — balance near-term program execution with long-term architectural bets that deliver decisive advantage. Command resources with intent — own budgets, vendors, and scaling strategies to keep the software team lean, agile, and mission-ready. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or related field 15+ years of experience in embedded software and systems engineering, with at least 5 years in executive or senior leadership roles Proven leadership of software organizations Experience delivering mission-critical software in aerospace, defense, automotive, or similarly regulated industries Fluent across the stack — from C/C++, React and real-time operating systems to DevOps pipelines, system integration, and front-end/back-end platforms Excellent communication skills and leadership ability Ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Experience fielding flight software or autonomy systems in space or aerospace platforms Familiarity with AI/ML operations, sensor fusion, and ground system architectures Track record scaling products from prototype to deployment across multiple customer platforms Executive experience managing software across multiple product baselines COMPENSATION
Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO, 401K, Parental Leave Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related knowledge, skills, education, and experience. To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, it is required to be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual, or eligible to obtain the necessary authorizations. True Anomaly is committed to equal employment opportunity. If you require accommodation, please let us know. Voluntary and Legal Notices
