Apply

At Illumea, we design and build digital products for teams that value quality, long-term thinking, and responsible execution.

We partner with founders, startups, and growing businesses to turn ideas into products — from strategy and design to engineering and ongoing support.

We're looking for a MilTech Recruiter to help us find and vet senior engineering talent for defense-adjacent and military-technology work.

This is sensitive, high-stakes hiring. We need someone who understands the domain, respects discretion, and knows how to reach people who aren't looking.

You'll own technical recruiting for our MilTech work — from first outreach to a confident hire. That includes:

  • Sourcing senior engineers for defense-adjacent roles
  • Screening for both skill and fit with the domain
  • Running structured, respectful interview processes
  • Building a pipeline of hard-to-reach candidates
  • Coordinating technical vetting with the team
  • Handling sensitive conversations with discretion

We're looking for a recruiter who can talk to engineers as equals and handle a sensitive field with care. You likely bring:

  • Several years in technical or engineering recruiting
  • Experience sourcing senior, passive candidates
  • An understanding of the MilTech or defense context
  • Sound judgment around confidentiality and security
  • Fluent Ukrainian and confident English

We keep the team small, senior, and honest. For you that means:

  • Work that genuinely matters, in a critical field
  • A senior team that values careful hiring
  • A Kyiv-based team with flexible working
  • Ownership of how we build the hiring process
  • Long-term thinking over headcount targets
