Who we are

Helsing is a software company that keeps our democracies from harm. We’re a diverse team of world class, ambitious, and impassioned engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers. We are looking for others to join our European teams to apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems in defence.

Your Impact

Join our team and use your UX skills to make a real difference. As software and AI become increasingly complex, it's critical to design intuitive and trustworthy applications, particularly for those on the battlefield.

We are still at the beginning of our journey. As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to explore uncharted territories and help set the standard for great UX in AI-based cognitive applications for the next decade. Together, we will tackle complex design challenges and push the boundaries of what's possible with AI and UX design.

Who we are looking for

Note: The following bullet points describe one version of our dream candidate. We very much encourage you to apply even if you believe you meet only part of our wish list.

Passionated about our mission. The ideal candidate should be passionate about our mission and the impact they will have on the world. They should be committed to using their UX design skills to create innovative solution, push the company forward, and think strategically about how UX design can contribute to achieving our mission.
Experience with complex and early-stage products: The candidate should have experience working on complex products, ideally in the early stages of development. Candidates with experience only with established products may not be a good fit. Side projects can be considered.
Mobile and interactive design experience: The ideal candidate should have experience designing mobile and interactive interfaces. Experience with desktop design is a plus, but not sufficient on its own.
A team player. We're seeking a UX designer who is humble, collaborative, and values teamwork. The ideal candidate will be motivated by contributing to the success of the team and the company, rather than personal goals or ego. As a team player, the ideal candidate will bring a positive attitude, a willingness to learn and share knowledge.
