How to Actually Get Hired
Who reads applications, which channel gets a reply, and what they screen for.
Why applying the normal way doesn't work
AstroForge is <50 people. No recruiter, no HR. Your application goes to a founder juggling everything. Cold outreach is how you actually get seen.
Who to contact at AstroForge
No verified contact route for AstroForge yet. Based on size (<50) and sector (Industrials, Manufacturing and Robotics), a founder or department head is likely the decision-maker, but treat this as a model.
What AstroForge screens for
The hiring bar at this stage (, Industrials, Manufacturing and Robotics): relevant experience and ability to operate autonomously. Show what you've shipped.

Mistakes that kill applications
Generic CVs stand out at a <50-person company — and not in a good way. Fastest path to rejection.
Don't open with what you want. Open with what AstroForge is dealing with right now — is growing fast after their null round, and what you'd do about it.
The wait-and-hope strategy fails. Follow up on day five — response rates roughly double.
