HR Generalist

Swarmer • Austin, TX

1d • Onsite

About The Position

Swarmer develops software that makes drones autonomous and allows them to operate together, in large, coordinated teams — no pilots needed. Our technology has been battle-tested in Ukraine— the world’s most intense proving ground for drone warfare.
In March 2026, we became the first Ukrainian defense startup to go public on NASDAQ, following a $15M Series A — the largest investment in a Ukrainian defense tech company since the start of the war.
Working at Swarmer means operating at the intersection of engineering rigor and frontline reality. The problems and environments are complex, and the stakes are very real. We built this software to enable democratic nations to defend themselves.
If you are motivated by building resilient systems that matter and by seeing the direct impact of your work, you’ll find purpose here.
We’re looking for an HR Generalist to be our go-to People Operations partner in the United States. You will be responsible for ensuring smooth day-to-day HR operations for our US team, acting as the first point of contact on the ground while keeping processes compliant, structured, and human-centered.
This role is a mix of hands-on operations and employee support: from onboarding and benefits administration to employee check-ins and maintaining accurate records. You will play a key role in creating a strong employee experience locally while staying aligned with global HR practices.
This is a great role for someone who enjoys owning processes end-to-end, building trust with employees, and being the person others rely on when things need to get done right.

• Comfortable running employee conversations (1:1s, check-ins, onboarding sessions)
• A proactive, ownership-driven mindset—you don’t wait for instructions to fix things
• Ability to balance operational work with human interaction
• Experience with HRIS systems (HiBob or similar is a plus)

Responsibilities

• Own and manage employee records and HR documentation in compliance with US regulations
• Lead onboarding and offboarding processes (contracts, documentation, coordination, checklists)
• Facilitate trial period check-ins, 1:1s, and employee touchpoints to ensure smooth integration and engagement
• Administer and coordinate benefits and insurance programs (enrollment, changes, employee support)
• Act as the first point of contact for onsite employees for HR-related questions and support
• Partner with the HR Director to ensure consistency between US and global HR practices
• Maintain accurate data in HR systems and ensure process discipline and documentation quality
• Identify and implement improvements in HR operations and employee experience
• Support recruitment process when needed

Benefits

• A key role as the main HR presence in the US with real ownership and visibility
• Direct collaboration with an experienced HR Director, executive team onsite and global team in Poland and Ukraine
• Opportunity to shape and build US HR practices from the ground up
• Competitive salary and benefits package (health insurance, unlimited PTO)
• Fast-paced, no-bureaucracy environment where decisions happen quickly
• Work that directly contributes to meaningful, real-world impact
