Job Description

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. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications. 

The role

At Helsing, we develop the AI-based capabilities and underlying infrastructure that allow systems to operate reliably in highly constrained, complex environments.

You will contribute directly to these impactful projects by writing code and testing it on hardware, collaborating closely with people across several teams and backgrounds.

Embracing the complexity of unfamiliar systems and unorthodox constraints, you will help integrate state-of-the-art AI into real-world applications. Ultimately, you will support Helsing engineers in preparing and deploying our software and AI capabilities to be showcased in simulations or on real edge systems.

You should apply if you

  • You are currently enrolled in a Master’s program in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or a related field (e.g., at TUM, LMU, or a similar university) and are eligible to work as a working student, based in Munich.

  • You possess solid programming skills in Rust, C++, Python or Java, and you strive to write clean, well-structured code.

  • You communicate clearly and efficiently in English (and German), and you enjoy collaborating with others through code reviews, pair programming, and asynchronous discussions.

  • You love figuring things out. You are the type of person who digs deeper into unfamiliar systems until it finally clicks, you aren't afraid of legacy code, and you prefer asking questions over stipulating answers.

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.
