Junior Software Engineer

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 you'll do

• Solve complex engineering challenges across deployed AI systems and mission-critical software infrastructure
• Build reliable and frictionless software that operates in high-risk, high-stress situations
• Collaborate with others, including reviewing code and pair programming
• Solve problems with code independently
• Articulate complex architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

What you'll need

• Communicate well in English, both verbally and in writing, with the ability to articulate complex architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Love figuring things out, digging deeper and deeper into unfamiliar systems until it finally clicks, and you understand how they work
• Enjoy collaborating with others, including reviewing code and pair programming
• Are comfortable solving problems with code
• Feel like ethical considerations are an inherent part of software engineering
• You can reason about and write code independently, without relying on LLMs

Nice to have

• Experience with Python and Rust
• Familiar with backend interface tools like REST, GraphQL, gRPC/Protocol Buffers, and Arrow
• Knowledge of container-based, cloud-native and edge application architectures
• Hardware interfaces (e.g., Arduino)
• Robotics (e.g., control systems)
