Requirements

12+ years of software engineering, DevOps, SRE, or cloud engineering experience, with a track record of setting technical direction across multiple teams or domains, owning roadmaps, and making architectural decisions that others build on.

Deep expertise in AI platforms and agentic engineering, paired with strong, hands-on command of cloud infrastructure, DevOps, CI/CD, developer experience, and compute, sufficient to set direction and course-correct across the platform.

Strong general software background, with real experience building, deploying, and operating production systems on cloud.

You understand a professional software development lifecycle end to end, and you understand what constitutes maintainable code.

Hands-on experience with large language model APIs, including prompt engineering, tool use, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agent frameworks (e.g.

CrewAI, Pydantic AI), and a point of view on where agentic engineering is headed.

Responsibilities

At True Anomaly, we’re building the next generation of space defense.

The way we build, deliver, and scale is itself a source of advantage, and the AI and infrastructure that everything else runs on is one of the most important force multipliers in the company.

We are investing in platform engineering as a core operating capability, not a side experiment, and this role exists to set the technical direction that makes that investment pay off.

As the Principal Platform Engineer, AI & Infrastructure, you will be the most senior individual contributor and the most trusted AI technologist on the platform engineering team.

It is a role about direction and leverage.

You will steer how True Anomaly builds and operates with AI, help set the vision for how the company uses AI to deliver space superiority, and bring the enterprise to the cutting edge of agentic engineering.
