Support the development and standardization of contract templates, playbooks, and processes to improve efficiency and consistency
Partner with teams across production, operations, marketing, and engineering to ensure contracts align with business needs and timelines
Identify and help mitigate legal and commercial risks in agreements and business initiatives

Maintain and organize contract records and legal documentation
You’ll need to have:
Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school and active bar membership in good standing. Licensed in Colorado is a plus
5–9+ years of relevant legal experience, with a strong focus on IP licensing, contract drafting, and negotiation
Experience working in-house or closely with business teams preferred

Familiarity with emerging technology is a bonus
Strong contract drafting and negotiation skills across a variety of agreement types, with an emphasis on IP licensing and technology
Ability to balance legal risk with business objectives and provide practical solutions

Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
It’s a plus if you have:
Experience in entertainment, media, technology, or live event production

A proactive, solutions-first mindset with strong business judgment
A collaborative, low-ego approach and comfort working across teams
Why this role is unique:
You’ll be stepping into a role where legal is deeply embedded in the creative and operational engine of the company.

Test Engineer
As a Test Engineer at Nova Sky Stories, you will own the design, development, and maintenance of our manual and automated testing infrastructure. You will work closely with software, hardware, and production teams to ensure that our flight-control software, creative tools, and show-orchestration systems meet the highest standards of reliability and performance. You will be working on:
Creating and maintaining automated tests (unit, integration, system-level) for our drone light show applications built with C++, Qt, and Dear ImGui
Designing test frameworks, mock environments, and test utilities that help validate critical real-time and UI-driven functionality
Building and improving our CI/CD test pipelines, ensuring fast, reliable, and repeatable verification for every code change
Collaborating with software engineers, designers, and drone operators to understand feature behavior and translate it into effective test strategies
Testing components involving real-time data processing, mission-critical control interfaces, and operator tools used in live drone show production
Investigating issues, reproducing complex edge cases, and providing detailed feedback to help engineers maintain the highest level of software reliability
Develop and maintain manual and automated unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end test suites
Build and optimize test pipelines to support continuous integration and delivery
Collaborate with developers to identify, diagnose, and resolve software defects
Design test strategies for new features and system components
Contribute to improving internal QA processes, tooling, and best practices
Work with C++ and Qt/QML codebases to write effective, maintainable test code
Ensure test coverage and reliability for mission-critical systems used in large-scale drone show productions
You’ll need to have:
Strong experience in C++ development
Hands-on experience with automated testing (unit, integration, CI pipelines)
Ability to design clear, reliable test cases and frameworks
Familiarity with modern development workflows (Git, CI/CD, code review culture)
Experience with Qt/QML, especially for UI-driven testing
Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Ability to communicate fluently in German and English
It’s a plus if you have:
Knowledge of testing embedded, real-time, or robotics systems
Experience in the entertainment tech, UAV, or simulation domains
Why you’ll love working with us:
Be part of something innovative: Work on projects that combine cutting-edge technology and creativity to deliver one-of-a-kind visual experiences
Creative freedom: Have the autonomy to take on challenges, propose solutions, and see your ideas implemented in real-world applications
Direct impact: Your work will have a real and visible influence on the execution of massive, high-profile visual events across the globe
Supportive environment: We’re a fun, forward-thinking team that loves solving big problems and working together to create something magical
Exciting perks: Competitive salary, flexible hours, and front-row access to the incredible visual experiences you help bring to life.
We are seeking a Production Coordinator to help drive execution across our most complex, high-visibility U.S. productions. In this role, you’ll own the details that make shows happen—travel, ground transportation, vendor coordination, schedules, documentation, and on-the-ground readiness. You’ll take defined work-streams and run with them, ensuring nothing slips and everything moves forward. You’ll primarily support large marquee productions, acting as a force multiplier for the PM team—bringing structure, speed, and consistency to high-volume execution. When needed, you’ll also step into onsite roles for smaller or repeatable shows, gaining hands-on production experience. This role sits at the core of our operations. Our shows only feel seamless because the backend is tight—and you’ll be a key part of making that happen. If you’re someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves owning details, and wants a path toward running larger productions, this is a strong entry point with real growth.
As a Production Coordinator, you’ll be responsible for:
Marquee Show Support (Primary) — Partner with PMs to drive key work-streams across complex productions
Own logistics: travel, lodging, transportation, vendor coordination, crew onboarding
Maintain the operational “source of truth” (docs, trackers, schedules, contacts)
Keep communication tight across internal teams and external partners
Identify risks early and bring solutions
Travel & Logistics Systems — Own and maintain travel workflows (Navan and related tools)
Keep trackers accurate, clean, and aligned with budgets
Ensure bookings meet show needs and cost targets
Streamline expense tracking and documentation for Accounting
Documentation & Reporting — Keep all project documentation organized and up to date
Maintain call sheets and run-of-show schedules
Drive post-show reporting and ensure learnings are captured and shared
Onsite Execution (As Assigned) — Support onsite coordination of crew, vendors, and venue partners
Help manage timelines from load-in through strike
Own clearly defined responsibilities when onsite
Wrap Support + Continuous Improvement — Track invoices, receipts, and support actuals
Assist with post-show reporting and wrap deliverables
Capture insights and improve processes for future shows
Required Qualifications:
1–3 years of experience in live events, touring, film production, or similar fast-paced operational environments
Highly organized with strong attention to detail—able to catch what others miss and communicate it clearly
Calm under pressure and able to juggle multiple moving pieces at once
Proficient in Google Workspace and comfortable working in spreadsheets
Willing to travel and work nights/weekends during show windows
Valid driver’s license required
It’s a plus if you have:
Experience supporting senior production leads (PM, AP, Supervisor) on complex shows
Hands-on experience managing travel logistics at scale
Comfortable coordinating multiple vendors simultaneously
Strong documentation habits across fast-moving teams
Exposure to aviation-adjacent or safety-sensitive operations
What Defines You:
Highly reliable, organized, and execution-focused
Calm under pressure and effective in an onsite operating environment
A clear, proactive communicator who escalates issues early and appropriately
You don’t need to be the “owner of everything” to be high-impact
You like owning your lane and making the overall machine run smoother
You take pride in making complicated work feel simple for the team around you
Team-oriented, humble, and eager to learn
Interested in growing into increased production ownership over time
