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
