We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.\nAs our Senior Technical Recruiter you’re not stepping into a predefined role. You’re joining a talent dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.\nWe hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you’ve achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn’t fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe’s technological independence.\nWhat you'll do\nWork directly with the Head of Talent day to day, with close access to the CEO, CTO, and technical heads\nOwn hiring in Germany end to end, from role definition and sourcing through to closing and signed offers\nTurn senior leadership priorities into a capability based hiring plan and sequencing that matches delivery reality\nPartner with hiring managers to define what “great” looks like, set the bar, and build structured interview loops and scorecards\nBuild targeted sourcing strategies for top tier engineers and operators across our core disciplines, with a focus on defence grade talent\nRun tight pipeline management in Lever, keeping data clean, stages meaningful, and momentum high\nDrive a fast, high signal candidate experience with clear comms, short loops, and decisive feedback\nBring market intelligence back to leadership on availability, compensation, competing offers, and how to win in the German market\nProtect talent density by calibrating relentlessly, referencing properly, and holding the line on quality\nImprove the system over time, talent maps, sourcing playbooks, referral motion, and post hire retrospectives so UK recruiting compounds every month\nWho you are\nSenior technical recruiter, full life cycle, with a track record of filling genuinely hard technical roles\nYou have experience recruiting in defence or a closely related high trust environment such as aerospace, space, advanced manufacturing, autonomy, or deep tech hardware\nYou understand the realities of secure hiring, export controls, and discretion, and you can operate professionally around sensitive programmes\nYou’ve worked in a high growth startup environment before, ideally Series A or similar, and you enjoy the pace and the lack of safety rails\nYou treat recruiting as a strategic function, not an admin service, and you’re comfortable challenging briefs and sharpening the bar\nYou can take a messy need and turn it into a crisp role, clear success outcomes with scorecards\nYou can proactively source top tier talent and build pipelines, not just manage inbound applicants\nYou communicate directly, move fast, and you like being accountable for outcomes\nYou care about signal and craft and you do not push “good enough” through a process\nWhat we offer\nA mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.\nDaily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.\nHigh ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.\nA fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.\nA culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.\nCompetitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4102,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Space & Aerospace","Missiles"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T00:14:24Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":25,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.696,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":228,"expected_fill_days":125,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hypersonica-senior-technical-recruiter","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hypersonica-senior-technical-recruiter.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T21:06:30Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":29894,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678356},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678356"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhypersonica-senior-technical-recruiter"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhypersonica-senior-technical-recruiter"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhypersonica-senior-technical-recruiter"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hypersonica-senior-technical-recruiter\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhypersonica-senior-technical-recruiter"}]}
