ABOUT ALTA ARES
Alta Ares is a deeptech startup founded in 2024, building real-time AI for defense operations — ISR, C-UAS, and autonomous systems. Our clients are NATO-aligned militaries and defence institutions, with regular deployments during live exercises and operational demonstrations. We raised €2M seed in May 2025, 50M in June 2026, and are expanding fast.
Our product suite includes:
- Real-time AI ISR module deployable on drones and tactical platforms
- Counter-UAS solution enabling autonomous drone takeover in GNSS-denied environments
- Full-stack MLOps platform for training & deploying military-grade AI models
- Data fusion and trajectory prediction
WE MAY NOT HAVE YOUR ROLE YET — BUT WE WANT TO MEET YOU
Alta Ares is growing fast across Engineering, Sales, Operations, and more. We don't always have the right opening at the right time — but we believe the best hires often come before the job description exists.
If you are exceptional at what you do, care deeply about European defence sovereignty, and want to work at the edge of AI and real-world military operations — we want to hear from you now.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We are always interested in outstanding profiles across our core domains:
- Engineering & Technology Embedded software, avionics, computer vision, real-time AI/ML, robotics, high-speed interceptor systems, RF systems, systems engineering

- Sales & Business Development Defence sales, NATO/EU/UK institutional BD, capture management, strategic partnerships

- Corporate Functions Finance, legal, HR, operations, communications — with a strong preference for profiles with defence or deeptech exposure
WHAT MAKES A STRONG ALTA ARES PROFILE
There is no single mould — but the people who thrive here tend to share a few things:
- They have done hard things in demanding environments — whether that's deploying software on a battlefield, closing a complex government contract, or building a function from scratch in a lean team
- They are mission-driven and genuinely care about the outcome, not just the job title
- They operate with high autonomy — they identify problems, propose solutions, and execute without waiting to be told
- They are rigorous and precise — in defence, the margin for error is zero
- They bring humility and resilience — the work is difficult, the stakes are real, and the environment is fast
WHAT WE OFFER
- Competitive compensation aligned with experience and market benchmarks
- Meaningful equity / stock options in a fast-scaling deeptech startup
- Direct access to founders and leadership from day one
- Work on programmes that matter — real deployments, real operational environments, real impact
- International team across Paris, Kyiv, NYC, and UAE
- A high-trust, mission-driven culture where ownership is the norm
