What startups in aerospace and defense build
Startups here build satellites, engines, aircraft and defence systems, with hardware and software in the same building. Work runs on programme deadlines and hardware tests, so the calendar is less flexible than in pure software. Roles skew technical, and government customers mean paperwork and clearance requirements are part of the hiring.

The hiring market
What sales and business development work involves at an early-stage startup
You are often the first person selling, so there is no playbook and no inbound list. You find the buyers, run the pitch, then write down what worked so the next hire can repeat it. At a large company the territory and the price list already exist.
Experience level
Open roles by the experience the posting asks for.
