## Job description

At Alpine Eagle, we’re building the future of counter-drone defence. We’re a fast-growing, international deep-tech company working at the intersection of aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning. Our goal: create the world’s first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system.

Modern conflicts show how quickly drones are reshaping the battlefield. Threats are rising, and today’s solutions aren’t keeping pace. We’re here to change that.

Alpine Eagle isn’t just a defence company. It’s a mission. Backed by an international team, strong funding, and a bold vision, we’re looking for people who want to shape the next generation of aerial security and build something that truly matters.

We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer with a strong frontend focus and a proven background in human-machine interfaces for complex operational systems. You will turn complex sensor, agent, and mission data into an intuitive operational picture and effective control interfaces.

🎯 How you will make an impact:

- Develop high-performance frontend applications using TypeScript and React
- Take ownership of frontend architecture and establish reusable patterns for complex visualization and operator workflows
- Develop intuitive and ergonomic operator workflows for real-time, information-dense environments
- Build interfaces for monitoring system state, sensor information, agent activities, effector status, tracks, and mission data
- Develop interactive maps, GIS-based interfaces, and 2D/3D visualizations
- Build real-time interfaces for monitoring and controlling multiple agents and system components
- Contribute across the full stack, including Python, Redis, APIs, and databases
- Work closely with systems, backend, and domain engineers to translate operational concepts and system capabilities into effective operator workflows
- Contribute to software architecture, code reviews, testing, and continuous improvement

✅ What you need to be successful:

- Strong professional experience in frontend or full-stack software engineering
- Excellent TypeScript and React skills
- Professional experience developing software for cockpits, mission control, operator stations, HMI, or comparable complex operational systems
- Strong understanding of UX, ergonomics, and human-machine interaction
- Experience designing interfaces for real-time, information-dense environments where situational awareness and efficient decision-making are critical
- Experience with real-time applications and distributed systems
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a pragmatic engineering mindset
- Ability to work effectively with systems, backend, and domain engineering teams

Ideally, also :

- Solid Python skills and experience working across the full stack
- Experience with Redis and databases
- Experience with GIS, mapping, and geospatial applications
- Experience with 2D/3D graphics, WebGL, or graphics engines
- Experience with autonomous systems, robotics, aerospace, defense, C-UAS, or other mission-critical systems
- Experience with sensor/effector integration or multi-agent systems
- Fluent in English; German is a plus

At Alpine Eagle, we are committed to diversity and equal opportunity. We welcome applications from all individuals regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion, disability, age, or sexual identity.

## About Alpine Eagle GmbH

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Alpine Eagle builds airborne counter-unmanned aircraft systems (c-UAS) to detect and intercept hostile drones at scale.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) – raised €10.25 M seed round in Q1 2025
- **Headquarters**: Munich, Germany (with offices in Karlsruhe and London)
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Jan-Hendrik Boelens (Co-Founder & CEO) and Timo Breuer (Co-Founder); additional founding team members include Jamie Bennett and other aerospace engineers.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Defence technology / Counter-UAS (counter-drone systems)
- **Target customers**: B2B / B2G – military and security forces, government agencies, and allied defence partners.
- **Mission purpose**: “Restoring control of low-altitude airspace” by providing mobile, persistent, and cost-effective airborne defence against autonomous drone threats.

## Products & Services
- **Sentinel**: An airborne c-UAS system that integrates multi-sensor detection (radar, EO/IR), fire control, and kinetic interception into a single networked platform. Sentinel is the world’s first air-to-air counter-drone system, designed to operate as a closed sensor-to-shooter loop. The system can be deployed as a swarm or as a single unit and is terrain-independent. *Type: Hardware + Software (SaaS-like mission management).*
- **Distributed sensor network** (patent filed Feb 2025): A swarm of unmanned autonomous vehicles that implements a distributed sensor network for wide-area surveillance and threat identification.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – USD 10.96 M (€10.25 M) as of April 2025.
- **Notable Investors**: IQ Capital (lead), HCVC, General Catalyst, High-Tech Gruenderfonds, Expeditions Fund, and 3 other undisclosed investors.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 125% headcount growth (YoY, from ~12 to 27 employees) [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/alpineeagle/)
  - Deployed Sentinel with Ukrainian Armed Forces in active combat environments (Q2 2025) [alpineeagle.com](https://alpineeagle.com/about-us/)
  - First systems delivered to Bundeswehr for operational trials (2024)
  - Expanded operations to the UK and Netherlands in 2025
  - 15 active job postings and a 66.7% YoY increase in job postings

## Competitive Advantages
- **Airborne approach** – Unlike ground-based systems, Alpine Eagle’s air-to-air interceptors can detect and engage drones at long range (beyond 5 km), closing the gap that conventional systems leave open.
- **Cost efficiency** – Significantly lower per‑intercept cost compared to high-end ground-based systems, making swarm‑scale deployment affordable.
- **Mobility & persistence** – Systems are forward-deployable, rapidly relocatable, and can sustain 24/7 operations.
- **Proven in combat** – Operational validation with Ukrainian forces provides real‑world credibility.
- **Integrated tech stack** – In‑house expertise in machine learning, sensor fusion, radar, and aeronautical engineering.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling from prototype to production** – Transitioning from trial deployments to mass‑production for European and allied militaries.
- **Geographic expansion** – Building commercial teams in Poland, UK, and other Eastern European markets.
- **Deepening autonomy** – Enhancing computer vision, autonomous swarm coordination, and closed-loop mission management.
- **Partnerships** – Working closely with NATO and allied defence procurement agencies.

## Why Work Here
- **Cutting‑edge mission** – Engineers work on real‑world autonomous systems that are deployed in live defence operations.
- **High growth trajectory** – The team doubled in 12 months; new hires will shape the company’s culture and technical direction.
- **Deep tech culture** – Teams are split across machine learning, sensor fusion, flight physics, and radar engineering; strong background from companies like Volocopter, Quantum Systems, Airbus, and Fraunhofer.
- **Flexible locations** – Offices in Munich and Karlsruhe (Germany) and a growing presence in London. Roles are primarily on‑site, but some hybrid working is possible.
- **Notable perks** – Not disclosed, but the environment emphasises “passion and drive” and the chance to build a radically different defence capability from the ground up.
