## Description

The peaceful use of space is essential for continued prosperity on Earth-from communications and finance to navigation and logistics. True Anomaly builds innovative technology at the intersection of spacecraft, software, and AI to enhance the capabilities of the U.S., its allies, and commercial partners. We safeguard global security by ensuring space access and sustainability for all., True Anomaly operates across Azure, AWS, their GovCloud variants, on-premises facilities, classified environments, and customer-deployed infrastructure. As Senior Manager of Infrastructure Engineering, you will own the compute platform that ties all of it together: Kubernetes, networking, CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and the government-accredited environments that the company deploys into. Your team will grow initially to 6 then further as the company breaks out dedicated subteams for SRE, network engineering, developer productivity, and incident management. The infrastructure you build will serve every program in the company, directly displace subcontractor engagements that currently cost millions per program, and form the foundation of True Anomaly's accredited compute platform. This role requires someone who can operate across the full breadth of infrastructure disciplines, make sound architectural calls in classified and unclassified environments, and build a team that scales with an
aggressive growth trajectory., * Build and lead the Infrastructure Engineering team: initially 3 Senior Engineers (Kubernetes/platform reliability, networking, CI/CD/cloud), growing into dedicated subteams as the organization scales

 * Own the compute platform strategy across commercial, CUI, and classified environments, delivering standardized infrastructure that any program can deploy onto instead of building from scratch
 * Deliver government-accredited compute environments (IL-5, IL-6) using internal engineering capacity, replacing the current model of outsourcing each new accredited environment to subcontractors
 * Drive Kubernetes standardization, multi-tenant cluster design, service mesh, and workload orchestration across the company's multi-cloud and on-premises footprint
 * Partner closely with the Staff/Principal Platform Engineer and Staff/Principal Network Engineer (who report to the VP) as the senior technical anchors for compute and networking architecture
 * Collaborate with Cybersecurity on hardened infrastructure (STIGs, security scanning, network segmentation) and with AI and Data Engineering on the compute and networking layer their platforms run on
