What DefenceJobs.org does

DefenceJobs.org is an independent, web-based job board and company atlas dedicated to the European defence technology sector. Founded in 2025 by Roman Rozbroj and operated through the Estonian private limited company Lux Perpetua OÜ (headquartered at Rataskaevu 2, Tallinn), the platform tracks over 1,000 European defence technology companies across 31 countries and 12 defence verticals, including AI & Defence Software, Drones & UAV, Space & Satellites, Sensors & EW, Cybersecurity, Counter-Drone, Ground Robotics, Naval & Maritime, Quantum Technology, Communications, Advanced Materials, and Soldier Systems. As of the latest available data the platform carries 932 active job listings, with job applications redirecting externally to each employer's own careers page. The product surface comprises a job board with country/sector/role filters, a company database/Atlas, an Insights editorial section publishing country reports and sector analyses, an employer job-posting service, a For Students resource section, and a curated directory of 106+ European defence hackathons and challenges.

DefenceJobs.org monetizes primarily through employer job listing fees using a freemium model: the first posted role is free (€0), with subsequent postings carrying undisclosed paid pricing on a monthly billing cadence. Go-to-market is product-led, relying on SEO, content marketing, LinkedIn organic presence, and a content partnership with Baltic Defence Weekly rather than paid acquisition or sales outreach. The platform serves three primary segments: (1) job seekers — engineers, scientists, operators, and graduates seeking defence tech careers; (2) employers and recruiters — defence tech companies ranging from one-year-old startups to listed primes; and (3) investors and analysts tracking the European defence ecosystem.

The business is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or partnerships beyond the Baltic Defence Weekly collaboration. Notable employer logos include STARK Defence (119+ open roles), Faculty, Aerospacelab, Stormshield, Milrem Robotics, Filigran, Delair, EnduroSat, ICEYE, and Quantum Systems. The team is small and led by the founder; no additional headcount, revenue figures, or financial metrics are publicly disclosed.

The core offering consists of three integrated products: a Job Board Platform for discovering and filtering defence tech roles across Europe, a Company Database/Atlas mapping 1000+ companies across 30+ countries, and an Insights editorial section with country reports, sector analyses and company spotlights. Supporting offerings include an Employer Job Posting Service, a For Students section targeting early-career candidates, and a Defence Hackathons 2026 directory of competitions and accelerators.

Direct peers

• Built In: Tech-focused job marketplace with city-specific editorial and employer branding. Comparable in combining job listings with editorial content, but US-centric and broader than defence tech.
• Honeypot (Xing): European tech talent platform (now part of Xing/NEW WORK) focused on curated tech candidates. Similar dual-sided marketplace model but for general European tech rather than defence specialization.
• Welcome to the Jungle: European tech-focused job board and employer branding platform with editorial content. Operates a similar job board + content model but targets general tech/startup employers rather than defence-tech specialists.

Emerging players

• CyberSN: Vertical job board specializing in cybersecurity talent, including defence-adjacent security roles. Competes in the Cybersecurity and defence-tech subvertical but with a US-centric focus.
• ClearedJobs.net: US-focused job board for security-cleared and defence roles. Comparable vertical job board model but geographically limited to US cleared workforce, not European defence tech startups.
• DACH Defence Tech community directories: Emerging European defence-tech ecosystem maps and newsletters (e.g., defence.tech ecosystem tracker). Adjacent service providing company databases and insights, overlapping DefenceJobs.org's Company Atlas and Insights products.
• SpaceTechJobs / Space-Careers: Specialist job boards serving the space and satellite sector, including defence-adjacent employers like ICEYE and GomSpace. Direct overlap on the Space & Satellites vertical within DefenceJobs.org's coverage.

Broad incumbents

• LinkedIn: Global professional network with dominant job listings and recruiting products. Competes with DefenceJobs.org for employer mindshare, but lacks European defence-tech specialization and editorial ecosystem mapping.
• Indeed: One of the world's largest job boards with broad coverage of European roles. Offers general-purpose search and sponsored listings but no defence-tech-specific curation or editorial content.

Others

• TechJobs.io: Aggregator of tech-focused remote job boards across multiple verticals. Indirect competitor for candidate attention though it does not curate defence-tech employers.
