Principal Enterprise Security Engineer

Denver, CO or Colorado Springs, CO or Long Beach, CA or Washington D.C. or Remote

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.

OUR MISSION

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.

OUR VALUES

  • Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity
  • What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results
  • It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together

YOUR MISSION

As the Principal Enterprise Security Engineer, you will architect and own the security of True Anomaly’s corporate environment. Your mission is to protect our assets, data, and people not just by hardening systems, but by building the secure platforms, automations, and tools that enable the entire company to operate securely. You will create the “paved roads” for security, engineering solutions that are secure-by-default. You will partner closely with IT Engineering to build securely from the ground up, secure our endpoints and networks, and enable the safe adoption of cutting-edge tools like enterprise AI. This role is foundational to creating a strong, scalable, and automated defensive posture. 

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Architect, build, and automate security “building blocks” and “paved roads” for our enterprise infrastructure, including cloud (Azure, M365) and on-premise systems. 
  • Engineer and deploy secure hardening standards across all corporate assets (macOS, Windows, Linux, servers, SaaS) through automation. 
  • Build and operate scalable enterprise security systems, including Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR/XDR), Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and modern device management. 
  • Lead automated vulnerability management, detection, and remediation efforts for the corporate environment. 
  • Design and engineer secure-by-default network architectures (wired, wireless, VPN/ZTNA) based on Zero Trust principles. 
  • Develop and manage security-as-code policies and technical controls for corporate-owned and BYOD assets. 

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise security, with a strong emphasis on engineering and building solutions, not just operating them. 
  • Expertise in architecting and securing multi-platform endpoint environments (macOS, Windows, Linux) and modern device management (Microsoft Intune, Jamf Pro). 
  • Advanced knowledge of network security architecture and engineering (e.g., firewalls, IDS/IPS, NAC, ZTNA). 
  • Demonstrated experience building automated security controls for cloud productivity suites (Microsoft 365) and IaaS platforms (Azure, AWS). 
  • Expert-level scripting and automation skills (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Go) to build custom tools, integrations, and security-as-code. 
  • Hands-on experience building and scaling core enterprise security systems (EDR/XDR, SIEM, Vulnerability Management, DLP). 

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

  • Experience developing and implementing security policies and controls for the safe use of enterprise AI and LLMs. 
  • Background in securing hybrid environments (cloud and on-premise Active Directory). 
  • Experience implementing and auditing security controls for government compliance frameworks (e.g., FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, CMMC). 
  • Broad knowledge of IT systems engineering (e.g., server admin, networking, identity) with a “build it securely” mindset. 

COMPENSATION

  • Colorado Base Salary: $195,000-$270,000
  • California Base Salary: $205,000-$285,000
  • Washington D.C. Base Salary: $205,000-$285,000
  • Remote: Compensation for remote employees will vary based on location and local market data.
  • Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave 

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience. 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Ability to maintain or obtain TS//SCI clearance 
  • Work Location—ideally, candidates will be based near Denver, Colorado Springs, Long Beach, or Washington, D.C., as some work requires on-site collaboration. Remote candidates will also be considered but should anticipate occasional travel for in-person work.
  • Work environment—is in a standard office, working at a desk or in a production factory.
  • Physical demands—may include frequent standing, sitting, walking, bending, and lifting or carrying items up to 20lbs.

This position will be open until it is successfully filled. To submit your application, please follow the directions below. #LI-Hybrid

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
