Who We Are

Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.

As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously. We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers.

We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems.

Benefits

, and its ethical implications. The role Software only matters when it is actively being used and making a difference. As a Deployed AI Engineer, you will be at the heart of this - taking state-of-the-art software and integrating it into complex systems.

You will be defining and executing against the end-to-end outcome and all steps on the way to delivering novel capabilities in some of the most challenging environments around. For example: you collaborate directly with customer avionics engineers to understand the data structures and APIs used in aircraft mission control systems. Instead of being scared, you embrace the complexity of unfamiliar databases, APIs, or network protocols; you dig into the specification and use your creativity and ingenuity to implement adapters for integrating them with Helsing’s cloud infrastructure.

By working closely with our partners and customers (both metaphorically and quite literally), you continuously evolve, improve, and operate Helsing software. You own the outcome end-to-end.

Requirements

, identify bugs, and ship the latest features directly to our users. Technology demonstrations are our chance to shine - you will coordinate between customers, partners, and Helsing engineers to showcase Helsing’s software and AI capabilities in simulations or with real systems. You should apply if you Have a degree in computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, or other relevant fields.

Have a broad understanding and creative use of computer systems; this is the Swiss army knife in Helsing’s toolbox of world-class talent. Prefer asking questions over stipulating answers. Love figuring things out, digging deeper and deeper into unfamiliar systems until it finally clicks, and you understand how they work.

Are not afraid of legacy systems and would rather make them work than give up and try to rewrite it all. Are comfortable with scripting languages such as Bash or Python and have experience with software engineering in C++, Java, Rust, or similar. Can navigate and configure Linux systems and have an understanding of network stacks and database systems.
