## 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.

## 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.
