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.

🎯How you will make an impact:

  • Drive end-to-end recruitment for technical roles, with a particular focus on software engineering, AI/ML, robotics, and other deep-tech positions
  • Proactively identify, approach, and engage talent through LinkedIn, referrals, networking, and direct search
  • Build and maintain talent pipelines for current and future hiring needs
  • Conduct initial candidate outreach, screening interviews, and manage candidates throughout the hiring process
  • Coordinate interviews and ensure a positive candidate experience from first contact to offer stage
  • Support hiring managers with candidate sourcing, market insights, and recruiting best practices
  • Help strengthen Alpine Eagle's employer brand within the engineering, defense-tech, and startup communities
  • Maintain accurate recruiting data and contribute to efficient hiring processes

✅ What you need to be successful:

  • 3+ years of recruiting experience, either in-house or agency-side
  • Experience sourcing and recruiting technical talent, particularly Software Engineers, AI/ML Engineers, Embedded Engineers, or comparable profiles
  • Strong direct-sourcing and candidate engagement skills
  • Ability to understand technical skill sets and assess candidate fit at an initial screening level
  • Excellent organizational and communication skills
  • Fluent in English and German
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment

- Experience recruiting within defense, aerospace, national security, or other highly regulated industries is a plus

At Alpine Eagle, you're not just taking a job - you're joining a mission.
