YOUR MISSION
As a Network Engineer, you will design, operate, and optimize the enterprise network that powers True Anomaly’s engineering, manufacturing, and cloud-connected environments. You’ll work across complex on-prem topologies, hybrid cloud connectivity, and secure networking architectures to ensure reliability, performance, and scalability.
You’ll be joining a rapidly growing environment where your expertise will directly influence the stability and performance of our mission-critical infrastructure.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Architect, deploy, and maintain enterprise network infrastructure including routing, switching, segmentation, VPN, and firewall services.
- Operate and support Palo Alto Networks firewalls and Juniper switching/routing platforms (or equivalent vendor experience).
- Build and maintain hybrid connectivity between on-prem environments and major cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, etc.).
- Troubleshoot complex networking issues including routing loops, BGP/OSPF behavior, latency, packet loss, and inter-VLAN connectivity.
- Manage network performance, capacity planning, telemetry, and monitoring.
- Implement and maintain network security practices including segmentation and firewall rule hygiene.
- Support compliance-driven requirements aligned to CMMC and contribute to environments where ITAR or FedRAMP considerations may be present (not core to the role).
- Participate in an on-call rotation for critical network escalations.
- Document architectures, change plans, diagrams, and runbooks.
- Collaborate with infrastructure, security, DevOps, and cloud engineering teams in a high-velocity, fast-moving environment.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
- 5+ years of experience as a Network Engineer supporting enterprise-class environments.
- Strong knowledge of routing/switching protocols (BGP, OSPF, VLANs, VRFs, STP, DNS, DHCP).
- Hands-on experience with firewalls (Palo Alto preferred) and routing/switching (Juniper preferred).
- Experience supporting hybrid or cloud-connected networks (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
- Strong troubleshooting skills with packet captures, performance metrics, and logs.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with shifting priorities.
- Excellent communication, documentation, and cross-team collaboration skills.
- Familiarity with compliance-driven environments (CMMC, ITAR, FedRAMP) — helpful but not required.
- Availability to participate in an on-call rotation.
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
- Active or previously held TS/SCI clearance (preferred but not required).
- Experience with security-focused networking architectures or compliance programs (CMMC, ITAR, FedRAMP).
- Network automation or scripting experience (Python, Ansible, Terraform, or similar).
- Relevant certifications such as PCNSE, JNCIS/JNCIP, CCNP, or equivalent.
- Experience with SD-WAN, multi-site networking, or data center architectures.
- Experience in aerospace, defense, or high-security, compliance-heavy environments.
COMPENSATION
- Colorado Base Salary: $100,000-$135,000
- California Base Salary: $105,000-$140,000
- 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.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
- Work Location—successful candidates will be located near our Denver or Long Beach facilities. While we observe a hybrid work environment, some work must be done on site.
- Work environment—the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
- Physical demands—the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.
