PO #HN-2611 Supplier: you Line 1: Software Engineer qty 1 Line 2: Deployment Strategist qty 1 Need-by: yesterday Status: AWAITING SUPPLIER ACK
Every hardware buyer knows this PO. It goes out, and then nothing happens: no ack, no ship date, just chasing over email while the spreadsheet and the ERP disagree. Silkline is the AI operating system for procurement at companies building satellites, launch vehicles, reactors, and robots (Machina Labs, Astranis, K2 Space, Castelion, Antares). We 5x'd our customer base, and our customers' parts can't wait.
- Software Engineer/FDE: 5+ yrs full-stack, 0-1 product, fast with APIs (bonus: ERPs). TypeScript, React, Next.js, GraphQL, Trigger.dev. https://jobs.gem.com/silkline/am9icG9zdDrLwsEQTKKa02Ut_F9kgz...
- Deployment Strategist (new): own customers from signed contract to go-live. Map ERP/PLM/MES data into Silkline, write the SQL, and find out why the PO isn't syncing. Two paths in: ERP/MES implementer or forward-deployed engineer. 4+ years; travel to customer sites. https://jobs.gem.com/silkline
Both roles touch ITAR-controlled data: US persons only, no visa sponsorship. Small team, direct line to the founders (Isaac and me), plus a space-suited mascot named Silky.
Be the supplier who actually acks. Apply above, or email [email protected] with "PO #HN-2611 ACK" in the subject (mention HN).
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.

Procurement is broken - Silkine is building the platform to fix it. Executing, tracking, and managing large purchases today is a Sisyphean task. A never-ending spiral of spreadsheets, manual PDF munging, and supplier wrangling. We know that we can do better. Come help our team (ex-Palantir/Pave, ex-Deloitte/Lockheed Martin) build a more transparent and reliable global supply chain.
We are looking for someone with a DevOps skillset to help build and improve our infra (networking, hosting, security, etc.). We are an AWS shop, deploying all of our services in GovCloud via Pulumi

- Integration/Infra: Python, Dagster, Airbyte, Pulumi
If that sounds like your jam, email me: [email protected]
