Jobbeschreibung

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.

The Founders Associate will be the CEO’s trusted partner across strategy and operations, driving high-impact strategic and operational initiatives across our defence drone-tech startup.

Own end-to-end hiring for highly specialized roles across engineering, defense operations, and corporate functions

Act as a trusted hiring partner to founders and senior leaders, shaping role profiles and realistic hiring strategies in a defense-tech context

Build and maintain a strong pipeline of talent within the German defense ecosystem

Proactively source niche profiles through direct search, industry networks, and referrals

Navigate defense-sector constraints (security requirements, compliance, sensitivity) with confidence and discretion

Represent the company credibly to candidates, communicating mission, impact, and technical depth

Continuously refine interview processes, assessments, and hiring decisions based on data and feedback

✅ What you need to be successful:

4+ years of hands‑on recruitment experience, ideally as an in‑house recruiter or talent partner

Mandatory: Proven experience within the German defense sector (industry, government‑adjacent, or defense contractors)

Strong understanding of technical and non‑technical roles in high‑security, regulated environments

Demonstrated success hiring hard‑to‑find, senior, or security‑sensitive profiles

Fluent in German and English (spoken and written)

Self‑driven, structured, and comfortable working in a fast‑moving startup environment

Passion for building teams that work on mission‑critical technology with real‑world impact

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