Staff Mission Network Engineer

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   As a Staff Mission Network Engineer, you will be a critical hands-on technical contributor responsible for the deployment, configuration, and operation of terrestrial and cloud network infrastructure supporting classified U.S. Government programs. You will work as part of the Mission Security Engineering team, executing against defined network architectures to deliver secure, compliant, and operational networks across multiple classification levels and locations across the United States.  This is an execution-focused role for a senior network engineer who thrives in the field — someone equally comfortable racking hardware in a classified facility and configuring cloud network infrastructure in AWS. You will work across on-premise and IL-6+ cloud environments, partnering closely with the Staff Security Architect – Networks and cross-functional engineering teams to bring network designs to life and keep them running at mission tempo.  This position requires an active Secret clearance to start, with the ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI.  Responsibilities  Deploy, configure, and operate terrestrial network infrastructure for classified capabilities spanning multiple on-premise locations across the U.S., including switching, routing, cabling, and boundary protection hardware  Implement and maintain network configurations in AWS GovCloud and classified cloud environments, including VPCs, transit gateways, route tables, security groups, and network access controls  Configure and maintain network connectivity between AWS classified cloud environments, USG networks, and end-user physical networks in close coordination with cloud engineers  Implement endpoint networks connecting on-premise and IL-6+ cloud environments across geographically distributed sites  Deploy and configure network hardware in accordance with DoD Approved Products Lists (APLs) and Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance requirements  Implement and validate network security controls including boundary protection, traffic segmentation, filtering, and encrypted communications across classification domains  Implement and validate DISA STIG requirements at the network and infrastructure layer across on-premise and cloud environments  Identify and remediate network-layer findings from STIGs, vulnerability scans, and SCA activities to maintain ATO posture  Support RMF activities including network control implementation, STIG validation, and assessment preparation in coordination with ISSEs  Maintain accurate and up-to-date network documentation including topology diagrams, as-built configurations, and security artifacts required for ATO activities  Partner with ISSEs, industrial security personnel, cloud engineers, and the Staff Security Architect – Networks to ensure network deployments meet program security and compliance requirements  Deploy, configure, and operate NSA Type 1 cryptographic devices (including KG-175 TACLANE and KG-142 units) within terrestrial classified networks, ensuring proper integration with network infrastructure and compliance with NSA/CSS operational policies  Manage keying material (KEYMAT) handling, DTA transfers, and controlled cryptographic item (CCI) documentation in accordance with USG regulations and best practices  Troubleshoot and resolve NSA Type 1 device connectivity, configuration, and interoperability issues across classified terrestrial network environments  Troubleshoot and resolve network connectivity, configuration, and performance issues across classified on-premise and cloud environments  Required Qualifications  10+ years of hands-on experience in network engineering, with demonstrated experience deploying and operating classified DoD or IC networks at classification levels up to and including TS/SCI and special access networks  Active Secret clearance required; must be able to obtain and maintain TS/SCI  DoD 8140 IAT Level III certification (CASP+, CISSP, CISA, or equivalent) required  Deep expertise in IP networking including routing protocols, switching, VLANs, subnetting, QoS, and network boundary protection  Experience deploying and configuring network hardware in compliance with DoD APL and TAA requirements  Working knowledge of NIST SP 800-53 and how network controls are implemented, documented, and validated within the RMF process  Hands-on experience implementing STIGs at the network and infrastructure layer  Experience supporting RMF and ATO activities including control implementation and assessment preparation  Strong documentation skills, with experience producing network diagrams, as-built documentation, and hardware configuration records  Ability to collaborate effectively with ISSEs, architects, cloud engineers, and cross-functional program teams  Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Engineering, Information Technology, or related field (or equivalent experience)  Preferred Qualifications  Active Top Secret or TS/SCI clearance  Professional networking certifications (e.g., CCNP, CCIE, or equivalent)  Experience with AWS IL-6+ or Microsoft Azure IL-6+ classified cloud environments, including VPC/VNet design, transit gateway configuration, and network security controls  Experience supporti
