Who we are

We are building Helsing to keep our democracies from harm. We believe that software – and artificial intelligence in particular – will be the key capability to do just that. Our mission is to attract Europe’s best mission-driven tech talent and apply their capabilities to some of the most complex problems in defence technology.

We are looking for people with their heart in the right place, who share our conviction that our democratic values are worth protecting, for ourselves and for future generations. We are a diverse team of software engineers, deep learning specialists and customer-facing programme managers, working on some of the most challenging problems in the defence space.

We care about our work and mission, and we welcome open and transparent discussions about the use of AI, its benefits and its ethical implications.

The impact you will make

Focusing on assurance of AI, you will be responsible for shaping Helsing’s vision of assurance and certification of AI-heavy software products.

Assurance of AI is critical for defence applications. We cannot deploy AI at scale until we have robust, effective assurance processes; and definition of good processes will give significant speed and quality advantages in AI development for defence.

Helsing is at the forefront of research and development for AI in defence. As a result, we need to be thought leaders in AI assurance.

What you will work on

You will be holding the pen on Helsing’s vision of AI assurance. You will collaborate with many functions at Helsing, as well as partners in industry and academia. You will establish the concepts and principles around which Helsing and others can build successful assurance programs, paving the way for large scale deployment of AI in defence.
