60 True Anomaly Security Engineer Jobs Hiring Near You

Your Mission

True Anomaly is building the next generation of spacecraft and space domain awareness technology to address the most complex national security challenges in orbit. As we scale our programs and expand our government partnerships, we're looking for a Director of Government Security to lead and own our industrial security program from the ground up.

This is a hands-on, player-coach role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment - someone equally comfortable setting enterprise-level security strategy and rolling up their sleeves to execute.

This role can be based in Denver, CO and requires full-time, onsite presence.

• Manage contractual security requirements across the full program lifecycle - from contract award through closeout - across concurrent programs
• Ensure subcontractor compliance with applicable security requirements; support supply chain and vendor security reviews as the business scales

Personnel Security & Training

• Implement and track DCSA mandatory training requirements across all personnel
• Build and maintain a security education and awareness program that resonates with a technical, mission-driven workforce
