Who we are

The role

The day-to-day

Own Production Pathway:

• Ensure the design is production-ready from the start: design for manufacturing, design for assembly, design for test. Every design decision should answer the question: "can a technician build unit #37 the same way unit #1 was built?"

• Own design documentation, version control, and assembly instructions. The design isn't done when the prototype works : it's done when someone who wasn't in the room can build it from the documentation.

• Support supplier selection and qualification: know which components are available at volume, which need custom development, and which are single-source risks

• Drive the transition from "engineer-built prototype" to "documented, repeatable, production-ready build" across 40 units

Drive Integration & Testing:

• Work alongside the engineering team to integrate every subsystem: flight controller (FC Board), edge compute, hydrophone array, satcom, network router, sensors

• Coordinate with the Software Tech Lead on the on-glider software stack

• Set the test strategy from bench through tank, and open-water sea trials. Move fast: first prototype in weeks/months. This is a high-pressure environment with tight timelines. We need someone who thrives under that kind of pressure.

• Build, test, learn, iterate

Break Design Deadlocks:

• Bring UUV systems experience to the decision table. When the team faces competing approaches, use your knowledge of what works underwater: what's been proven, what fails at depth, what scales to production: to define the most functional path forward based on the information available

• Not waiting for perfect data. Not deferring because someone has more experience. Assessing the options, making the call, explaining why, and moving on

• The team has deep expertise across mechanical, electrical, and embedded domains: your job is to ensure that expertise translates into decisions and forward momentum, not further analysis

Close the Design:

• Work with the existing technical team to drive Helsing's Maritime products from concept to something that can be built. Support and build on the architectural decisions already made while closing the remaining design gaps across all sub-systems (eg. hull, propulsion, variable buoyancy system, power, etc.)

• Own tradeoff calls that span mechanical, electrical, and embedded software boundaries. Be ready to explain the rationale clearly enough that the team buys in and moves forward.

• Know when a design is "good enough" to build and when it needs more iteration. Ensure the team doesn't get stuck in endless decision/refinement loops

• Think about scaled manufacturing from day one, just to prototyping
  
  

You should apply if you

• Built, integrated, tested, and deployed complex electromechanical systems. Not academic/simulated/paper.

• Systems-level decision-making across mechanical, electrical, and embedded software

• Technical decisiveness: closes tradeoffs, explains reasoning, moves on

• Pace and learning velocity: operates at startup speed, ramps up fast in new domains

• Collaborative communication: runs design reviews, manages technical output, gets buy-in

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Nice to Have

• Prototype-to-production experience

• Direct UUV, AUV, or underwater glider experience

• Buoyancy-driven platforms, underwater propulsion, or VBS

• Subsea comms (Iridium SBD), underwater acoustics, or edge compute (Jetson/similar)

• Defence or defence-adjacent programmes

• LARS and vessel operations

Who we are

The role 

Collaborating closely with our dynamic team of product designers and engineers, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the foundation of frontend at Helsing. Embracing a hands-on approach, you'll not only lead by example, but also spearhead the development and expansion of a tight-knit team that works across a wide-range of internal teams and products. Your primary emphasis will be on enhancing usability, creating re-usable foundations for multiple front-ends and optimising the end-user experience across the entire company.

The day-to-day

• Review code contributions, proposals, and RFCs from colleagues. At Helsing we strongly believe that unblocking others takes precedence over spending more time on your own work.

• Own the user interface end-to-end, from early wireframes and prototypes through to performant, production-ready code. You'll work closely with product and UX colleagues to shape how users interact with our tools. We have relatively few frontend engineers at Helsing; this means that we operate at a high level of autonomy and there are plenty of opportunities for impactful work.

• Propose and implement new features, capabilities, tooling, visualizations, or even full products across our stack. We encourage our engineers to look beyond their immediate team for missed opportunities, and to speak up when they identify one.

• Establish and evolve our React component library, ensuring consistency, reusability, and alignment with our visual design standards across multiple front-ends.

• Collaborate with others beyond your team and share knowledge with the wider frontend community at Helsing. Contribute to establishing our frontend engineering standards. Build or adopt tools that help enforce these standards, or make our frontend engineers more efficient in a different way.

• Become a mentor, find a mentee, and help support and develop our interviewing pipeline. The people make or break the company, and we want as many engineers as possible to be part of fostering and growing the organisation.

• Share your experience and technical know-how with other Helsingers. We host tech talks, get together for smaller "let's learn together" groups, run topical office hours or reading groups (e.g., on React or TypeScript), etc. to help each other get better with time.

• Connect with, understand, and make changes to backend systems as needed. Our backends are primarily written in Rust, and you'll need to be comfortable navigating unfamiliar codebases to unblock yourself and improve integrations. Rust experience is not a prerequisite to this role, though - you can learn that over time as needed.

• Present your work at our weekly demo sessions. We want engineers to come together around what they are working on and to feel like they are not endlessly squirrelling away at something that doesn't matter. To that end, we host (and actively work towards) demo sessions that allow early feedback, celebration of progress, and a better shared understanding of everything that goes on at Helsing.

You should apply if you

• Can write legible, maintainable, and performant frontend code - ideally using TypeScript and React.

• Are experienced with APIs and server-client communication like REST and GraphQL.

• Have experience with running a live production software.

• Are passionate about staying on top of current development best practices, libraries and frameworks.

• Are comfortable working with unfamiliar backends, ideally with some exposure to languages like Rust.

• Communicate well in English, both verbally and in writing.

• Enjoy collaborating with others, including reviewing code and pair programming.

• Are comfortable working asynchronously (writing PRs and RFCs, having discussions by email).

• Strive to improve yourself, your peers, and the culture you work in over time.

• Feel like ethical considerations are an inherent part of engineering.

Note: We operate at an intersection where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Who we are

The role

At Helsing we develop and deliver AI-based capabilities and the enabling infrastructure that allow semi-autonomous platforms to localise, navigate, and perceive the world in real time. We build software that is subject to significant and unorthodox technical constraints, must operate in a wide variety of constantly-changing environments, and has to support an ever-growing list of challenging use-cases. What we build ultimately ends up in the hands of real people in high-risk, high-stress situations, so must be both reliable and frictionless. Taken together, this brings a whole host of interesting engineering challenges across a wide variety of fields that you’ll help us solve. To give some examples:

• Distributed systems (e.g., intermittent connectivity and byzantine actors)

• Embedded computing (e.g., resource-constrained compute and reverse-engineering)

• Robotics (e.g., control systems and tasking)

• Networking (e.g., long-range low-bandwidth radios and cross-medium routing)

• Deployment infrastructure (e.g., air-gapped devices and heterogenous fleets)

• Security (e.g., data sharing in low-trust, no-TLS networks and actually-secret data handling)

• Machine learning (e.g., systems for model development, storage, and dissemination)

In several of these areas, we are working near the state-of-the-art; we actively read (and sometimes implement) research papers, and often need to push even further to make theory work in practice. In others, we are applying well-known techniques to real-world situations (with real-world limitations) that have never been used in before, which requires skill, diligence, and honing a deep understanding of the underlying technologies.

The day-to-day

• Review code contributions, proposals, and RFCs from colleagues. At Helsing we strongly believe that unblocking others takes precedence over spending more time on your own work.

• Propose and implement new features, capabilities, algorithms, infrastructure, or even full products across our stack. We encourage our engineers to look beyond their immediate team for missed opportunities, and to speak up when they identify one.

• Become a mentor, find a mentee, and help support and develop our interviewing pipeline. The people make or break the company, and we want as many engineers as possible to be part of fostering and growing the organisation.

• Share your experience and technical know-how with other Helsingers. We host tech talks, get together for smaller “let’s learn together” groups, run topical office hours (e.g., on Rust), etc. to help each other get better with time.

• Maintain our existing software stack, including working with internal and external customers to identify issues, improving operational reliability and performance, and fending off technical debt. The stack is a mix of Rust and Python, with Python mainly living in the ML-heavy sections.

• Further develop our tests and benchmarks, both at the micro and macro level. We operate in a domain where robustness is of the utmost importance, and an extensive and ever-improving test suite is key to achieving that. And without thorough benchmarks, we would be flying blind.

• Present your work at our weekly demo sessions. We want engineers to come together around what they are working on and to feel like they are not endlessly squirrelling away at something that doesn’t matter. To that end, we host (and actively work towards) demo sessions that allow early feedback, celebration of progress, and a better shared understanding of everything that goes on at Helsing.

You should apply if you

• Have a high level of personal integrity, reliability, and attention to detail

• Have a software engineering mindset with a passion for building platforms and tools that multiply developer productivity

• Have experience running cloud-native workloads in on-premises or air-gapped environments

Join Helsing and work with world-leading experts in their fields 

• Helsing’s work is important. You’ll be directly contributing to the protection of democratic countries while balancing both ethical and geopolitical concerns. 

• The work is unique. We operate in a domain that has highly unusual technical requirements and constraints, and where robustness, safety, and ethical considerations are vital. You will face unique Engineering and AI challenges that make a meaningful impact in the world. 

• Our work frequently takes us right up to the state of the art in technical innovation, be it reinforcement learning, distributed systems, generative AI, or deployment infrastructure. The defence industry is entering the most exciting phase of the technological development curve. Advances in our field of world are not incremental: Helsing is part of, and often leading, historic leaps forward. 

• In our domain, success is a matter of order-of-magnitude improvements and novel capabilities. This means we take bets, aim high, and focus on big opportunities. Despite being a relatively young company, Helsing has already been selected for multiple significant government contracts.  

• We actively encourage healthy, proactive, and diverse debate internally about what we do and how we choose to do it. Teams and individual engineers are trusted (and encouraged) to practise responsible autonomy and critical thinking, and to focus on outcomes, not conformity. At Helsing you will have a say in how we (and you!) work, the opportunity to engage on what does and doesn’t work, and to take ownership of aspects of our culture that you care deeply about. 

What we offer

• A focus on outcomes, not time-tracking

• Competitive compensation and VSOP options

• Relocation support

• Social and education allowances

• Regular company events and all-hands to bring together employees as one team across Europe

• A hands-on onboarding program (affectionately labelled “Infraduction”), in which you will be building tooling and applications to be used across the company. This is your opportunity to learn our tech stack, explore the company, and learn how we get things done - all whilst working with other engineering teams from day one 

Helsing is an equal opportunities employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability or gender identity. Please do not submit personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, data concerning your health, or data concerning your sexual orientation.

Who we are

The role

The day-to-day

• Identify, assess, and prioritise security risks across our systems, products, and infrastructure - distinguishing between theoretical concerns and material threats to the business

• Design and implement practical security controls across cloud platforms, applications, products, and data - and guide engineering teams in doing the same

• Develop and apply threat models to surface architectural risks, trust boundary issues, and failure modes before they become incidents

• Partner with engineering, product, and operational teams as a trusted security adviser - providing patterns, guidance, and guardrails rather than one-off approvals or blockers

• Contribute to the detection, investigation, and containment of security incidents, and drive systemic improvements from what we learn

• Reduce manual and reactive security work by building automation, improving tooling, and embedding secure-by-default practices into how we develop and operate systems

• Bring technical depth to assurance activities such as audits, certifications, and customer security reviews - ensuring our controls are real and effective, not just documented

You should apply if you

• Have deep hands-on expertise in one or two security domains - such as application security, cloud security, identity and access management, cryptography, detection and response, or platform security - and can demonstrate genuine impact within them

• Think in terms of trust boundaries, failure modes, blast radius, and adversarial behaviour rather than individual vulnerabilities in isolation

• Can translate complex security risk into language that resonates with non-security stakeholders - engineers, product managers, and senior leadership alike - and influence outcomes without relying on authority

• Approach security with a risk-based mindset, making proportionate, well-reasoned decisions under uncertainty and consistently asking whether the work you are doing reduces material risk rather than simply satisfying a compliance requirement

• Have experience working across multiple teams and technical domains simultaneously, maintaining quality and judgement across contexts

• Have a track record of identifying gaps and driving security improvements to resolution, including in ambiguous or loosely scoped problem spaces

Note: We operate in an industry where women, as well as other minority groups, are systematically under-represented. We encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet all the listed qualifications; ability and impact cannot be summarised in a few bullet points.

Nice to Have

• Experience working in or alongside regulated, high-assurance, or defence-adjacent environments where security requirements are complex and the consequences of failure are significant

• Hands-on offensive security experience - red teaming, penetration testing, or adversarial simulation - that informs how you approach defensive design and threat modelling

• Familiarity with security considerations specific to AI or machine learning systems, including model integrity, data pipeline security, or adversarial ML concepts

• Experience designing or contributing to security programmes at scale - security champions networks, secure development lifecycle tooling, or organisation-wide risk frameworks

• Background in cloud-native security engineering, particularly across AWS, GCP, or Azure, including infrastructure-as-code, container security, and cloud identity patterns

• Exposure to supply chain security concerns, including dependency management, build pipeline integrity, or third-party component assurance

• Experience operating in environments with classified data, government security frameworks, or cross-domain security requirements
