About Alta Ares
Alta Ares is an air defense Neoprime. We build AI-guided interceptors to counter drones and cruise missiles, along with the software platform that powers them.
Our customers are NATO-aligned militaries and defense institutions, and our systems are regularly deployed during live exercises and operational demonstrations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Founded in 2024, we have grown to 90 people, raised over $60M, and increased revenue 40× this year. We are now entering a new phase of international expansion, industrial scaling, fundraising, and product development.
The GNC team is growing across Paris and Kyiv. As one of our early GNC engineers, you'll help shape the architecture of our autonomous systems from the earliest design studies through flight testing and final acceptance. We work in short iterations, with a strong culture of experimentation and field validation. Our engineers regularly work alongside operators and end users, ensuring that every algorithm is designed for real operational conditions: not just simulation.
