Hello! I am passionate about Space, but I found it was hard to find a job in this field with traditional job boards. So I decided to make one and gather jobs from SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, and lesser-known companies to get people interested in Space :)

Let me know if you have feedback!

This is cool. I'm personally excited about this new industry. The slick marketing around these companies alone makes things feel so futuristic.

This looks cool! What's your strategy for building an audience for rocketcrew.space?

Thanks!

I intend to share the site with relevant communities on Reddit, Linkedin, Discord, and Facebook. I have started with this subreddit for example https://www.reddit.com/r/aerospace/comments/ooscp4/curated_j... There is really good feedback, so that's a good sign.

I will also try to focus on SEO, and share new job posts on twitter to drive traffic.

I am building this project in public if you want to take a look https://twitter.com/siglavesc2/status/1412524896903630854

What is the job board creation tool that everyone uses nowadays to create a job board that is an identical clone of Pieter Level's remoteok board?

Actually, I made this site from scratch with Next.js. I just really like how remoteOK is working, so I made a similar site for the MVP, but I hope to iterate with different feedback.

Sounds like a good plan siglave! I'll also recommend adding integration with Google Jobs, since it can also bring traffic.
