Silkline | Software Engineer, Deployment Strategist | Chicago, Seattle | ONSITE | $150k-$225k + equity | https://silkline.ai

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 brent+[email protected] with "PO #HN-2611 ACK" in the subject (mention HN).
