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 finance and legal work involves at an early-stage startup
You build the books, the contracts and the controls rather than inherit them. Founders ask you about runway, a customer agreement and a new country's rules in the same afternoon. At a large company each of those sits with a different specialist team.
Experience level
Open roles by the experience the posting asks for.
