Architect and deploy Kubernetes-native identity and authorization infrastructure for multi-tenant classified environments. Implement fine-grained access control models and ensure compliance during ATO processes for space operations.
Requirements
Requires 10+ years in platform/security engineering with 5+ years specializing in identity and authorization systems. Must be eligible for TS/SCI clearance and have production experience with Kubernetes and Zero Trust principles.
Full job description
Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
OUR MISSION
True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
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
Software is the central nervous system for True Anomaly's engineering and product thesis. As we deploy our space operations platform into classified environments, identity and authorization become critical technical challenges requiring deep specialization. True Anomaly is seeking a highly experienced Senior Identity & Authorization Engineer to build the multi-tenant identity infrastructure that enables secure operations at IL6 (SECRET) and beyond. You'll deploy and integrate Kubernetes-native identity platforms, implement fine-grained authorization models for space operations, and provide deep technical expertise on identity/auth during compliance processes. Working closely with our security and platform teams, you'll evaluate and integrate modern authorization frameworks (ReBAC, SPIFFE/SPIRE, OPA), build policy-as-code enforcement systems, and ensure our identity architecture meets the rigorous standards required for classified environments.
You do not need to have experience building space ground systems or experience in aerospace. You'll have ownership of challenging, greenfield problems and a chance to fundamentally impact the outcome of future conflict (and the future of the company), all while enjoying world-class benefits including platinum healthcare, flexible work hours/location, highly competitive compensation and a generous stock options package.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Architect and deploy Kubernetes-native identity and authorization infrastructure for IL6 (SECRET) multi-tenant environments
Serve as a technical authority for identity/auth controls during ATO processes, documenting and evidencing compliance for IdP components
Design and implement multi-tenant isolation strategies ensuring zero lateral movement between customer/program boundaries
Evaluate, deploy, and harden self-hosted IdPs (Keycloak, Dex, Authentik, etc.) for classified Kubernetes clusters
Design authorization models (RBAC, ABAC, ReBAC) for space operations use cases with fine-grained access control requirements
Implement workload identity frameworks (SPIFFE/SPIRE, K8s projected tokens) and service mesh authentication (Istio, Linkerd, Cilium)
Build policy-as-code systems (OPA/Gatekeeper, Kyverno, Cedar) for automated compliance enforcement at runtime
Integrate with government identity systems (CAC/PIV, LDAP, Active Directory) and legacy SAML 2.0 applications
Collaborate with security team on secret management strategy (HashiCorp Vault, Azure Key Vault) with encryption key lifecycle for IL6 environments
Work with application teams to define authentication/authorization contracts for microservices
Partner with customers and government auditors during ATO processes to demonstrate compliance and address findings
Stay current on emerging identity/auth technologies and evaluate applicability to classified environments
QUALIFICATIONS
Clearance: Eligible for TS/SCI clearance (U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident), active clearance strongly preferred
Experience: 10+ years in platform/security engineering with 5+ years focused on identity, authentication, or authorization systems
Multi-Tenant Architecture: Designed and implemented proper tenant isolation (zero lateral movement, strong security boundaries) for SaaS, defense, or high-assurance systems
Kubernetes Production Experience: Deployed and operated production Kubernetes clusters with 3+ years experience
Identity Infrastructure: Production experience deploying/operating at least one K8s-native IdP (Keycloak, Dex, etc.) or enterprise IAM system
Authorization Design: Implemented RBAC, ABAC, or ReBAC authorization models in production systems
Zero Trust Principles: Deep understanding of NIST SP 800-207 and practical zero trust architecture patterns
Compliance Frameworks: Working knowledge of NIST 800-53, CMMC Level 3+, or FedRAMP High requirements
Scripting/Automation: Proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash for automation and tooling
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
Active TS/SCI clearance (or ability to start immediately upon clearance grant)
IL4/IL5 deployment and operations experience (IL6 is nice-to-have but not required)
ATO Experience: Participated in at least one ATO process for NIST 800-53, CMMC, FedRAMP, or IL4/IL5 systems
Experience with modern authorization frameworks (SpiceDB, Authzed, OpenFGA, Ory Keto)
Previous experience at defense prime, IC contractor, or FAANG Gov (AWS/Azure/Google public sector)
COMPENSATION
Base Salary: $150,000 - $225,000
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.
