Indra, a Spanish information technology and defence company, plans to hire 2,400 technology professionals in 2025 to bolster its defence division, making it one of the most significant recruitment drives in Spain’s tech sector this year. The company seeks both experienced specialists and emerging talent for strategic projects such as the Future Combat Air System (FCAS), the VCR 8x8 armoured vehicles, satellite navigation, space surveillance, and its AI-powered IndraMind systems. Positions will focus on areas like radar technology, cybersecurity, electronics, unmanned systems, AI, cloud computing, and geospatial solutions.
The majority of new hires will be located in Madrid and Catalonia, followed by Andalusia and Galicia, with further roles in Castilla y León and Asturias. Around 65% of roles target experienced professionals, while 35% are aimed at young graduates. In addition to defence, recruitment will also support air traffic management, mobility, and Indra’s digital transformation arm, Minsait. Indra emphasises work-life balance, international opportunities, and long-term career development, positioning itself as Spain’s leading employer for high-value tech talent.
