034 Defense Tech Jobs 🚀

UnitX book launch + Roles at Albedo, Dedrone, Palantir, Shield AI, and more...

Defense Tech Enthusiasts,

🚨📚Let’s kick this edition off with a quick must-read alert!

Today is the launch date for Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley Are Transforming the Future of War, a new book by DTJ subscribers Chris Kirchhoff and Raj Shah.

If you care about defense innovation and how “defense tech” came to be a thing… this one’s for you. Raj and Chris tell the incredible stories of the founders of Anduril, Capella Space, Joby Aviation, Saildrone, Vannevar Labs, and many more.

Whether you’re founding, operating, or just watching the industry, this is the latest in a line of seminal texts (Kill Chain, Chip War) that people are gonna be talking about and recommending for a long time.

Check it out, and tell us what you think (DTJ book club, anyone?)

Now, onto those jobs!
