Modern hardware supply chains run on spreadsheets, email, PDFs, and prayer. It's like fax woke up in 2026. We're fixing it with an AI-first procurement platform for aerospace, defense, and nuclear manufacturing - customers include Machina Labs, Astranis, K2 Space, Castelion, and Antares.

At SmallSat last month, a supplier walked up to me (in a full spacesuit costume), said "oh you're from Silkline, we love you guys!" and handed us a roadmap item on the spot. That's the job: sit with customers, hear what's broken, ship it. 0-1 product, real UI/UX ownership, ERP integrations that sync POs and manufacturing data.

Stack: TypeScript, React, Next.js, GraphQL, Trigger.dev. You: 5+ years full-stack, startup or 0-1 experience, fast with APIs (bonus: ERPs). The role touches ITAR-controlled data, so US persons only, no visa sponsorship.

We 5x'd our customer base this past year and continue to grow fast. Small team, direct line to the founders (Isaac and myself). Also: space-suited mascot named Silky.

Spacelift | Remote (Europe) | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80k-$110k+ (can go higher)

We're a VC-funded startup (recently raised $51M Series C) building an infrastructure orchestrator and collaborative management platform for Infrastructure-as-Code – from OpenTofu, Terraform, Terragrunt, CloudFormation, Pulumi, Kubernetes, to Ansible.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and have a lot of happy and satisfied customers. We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours.

If that sounds like fun to you, please apply at https://careers.spacelift.io/jobs/3006934-software-engineer-...

You can find out more about the product we're building at https://spacelift.io and also see our engineering blog for a few technical blog posts of ours: https://spacelift.io/blog/engineering

Virtasant (1099 contractor for a client of ours) | Virtasant.com | Remote (USA)| full-time

Hey, we are a finops/cloud optimization company that also helps some of our clients with their hiring needs. For one of them (a solid healthcare data company) we're looking for a Senior Data Engineer.

The legal stuff: You need to live in the USA and be under one of the following conditions: a) US citizen b) Green Card holder c) Sole owner of your own LLC company (not co-owner, sole owner)

Sadly, all other options are not possible, like H1B, OPT, EAD, or CPT visas, are not possible for us.

80-90 USD per hour, changes of going a bit above if the candidate is amazing.

The tech stuff: 7 yoe (5 of which building production-grade data or platform services), AWS-heavy (if you're stronger on Azure or GCP, then it's not for you, sorry), Python, SQL, dbt, (Snowflake OR BigQuery OR Redshift), Spark, Kafka, (Iceberg OR Delta OR Hudi), (Airflow OR Dagster OR Prefect), CI/CD, Docker, AWS.

Here's the JD, where you can apply - https://virtasant.teamtailor.com/jobs/7563920-senior-data-en...

Thank you!

Odyssey | Sr. Security Engineer | Full-time | Remote (US) or NYC

Odyssey is building the leading financial technology platform for school choice. We help families access funding for tuition, tutors, curriculum, software, and enrichment programs—empowering them with greater educational opportunities.

We’re well-funded, backed by top investors including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), and we are rapidly scaling.

As Odyssey's first Security Engineer, you'll have full ownership of our security posture — shaping strategy, building programs from the ground up, and driving best practices across our entire technology stack and product suite. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where your decisions will directly influence how we protect our customers, vendors, and employees.

You'll partner closely with cross-functional teams to embed security into everything we build and ship, champion solutions to emerging security challenges, and ensure we stay ahead of an evolving threat landscape. You're someone who embraces AI tools to work smarter — whether that's accelerating threat detection, streamlining vulnerability analysis, or improving how we respond to incidents.
