If you've searched for a space industry role in the last year, you know the problem.
The aggregators repost the same SpaceX Senior Avionics Engineer listing fifteen times. Indeed shows you positions from 2023 that have been filled and re-filled. The Mars-themed job site you bookmarked is mostly affiliate links to coding bootcamps.
Space hiring deserves better.
What Made For Space is
A focused job board for space, launch, satellite, GN&C, avionics, propulsion, and mission ops engineers. Every role is pulled directly from the employer's own careers page — Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, or Workday. When a company removes the role from their ATS, we remove it from the board. When they add a new role, it appears in your alert email within hours.
No reposts. No expired listings. No aggregator overlay charging the employer $300/month to "boost" their job.
How we source
Today we're wired into the careers pages of 80+ space industry employers across launch, satellites, in-space services, propulsion, ground systems, and adjacent defense-space. SpaceX, Blue Origin, AST SpaceMobile, ICEYE, Varda, Hadrian, Ursa Major, Anduril, Voyager, Astranis, BlackSky, K2 Space, Apex, Stoke, Sierra Space, and a long tail of seed and Series A startups working on small-sat constellations, orbital servicing, and lunar logistics.
The list grows when:
- A company we don't track wins a notable contract or raises a round
- An engineer subscriber emails a request
- We notice a startup hiring on Hacker News "Who's hiring" that fits the niche
Companies don't pay to be listed. The catalog is curated for engineers, not recruiter ad spend.
What employers can pay for
Three things, listed at /pricing:
- Featured Post — $99, one role pinned to the homepage + the newsletter for 30 days
- Claim & Verify — $99/mo, edit your auto-listed company page + earn the verified badge
- Annual Partner — $5K+/yr, always-featured + custom hero + quarterly intel report
That's it. No CV database fees. No per-applicant charges. No exclusive-recruiter dark patterns.
What's next
The roadmap, roughly:
- Direct Apply integration — Google Jobs "Apply Now" button instead of "Visit company site"
- Salary intel — public median + level breakdowns across the catalog
- State of Space Hiring — quarterly report from the catalog data
- Newsletter alerts by category — daily / weekly / instant, filtered by your interests

If you're a company building space products and you're hiring, you're probably already listed via your ATS. Find your company and let us know if anything looks off.
