Software Engineer - Frontend

As a Frontend Software Engineer at Helsing, you will collaborate closely with product designers and engineers to develop and enhance user interfaces across various products. Helsing is a defense AI company dedicated to protecting democracies through technological leadership, enabling open societies to make sovereign decisions and uphold ethical standards.

In this role, you will be responsible for reviewing code contributions, developing and maintaining user interfaces from initial wireframes to production-ready code, and working closely with product and UX teams to optimize user interactions. Additionally, you will propose and implement new features, establish and evolve the React component library, and contribute to frontend engineering standards to ensure consistency and reusability across multiple products.

The ideal candidate should have strong experience in frontend development using TypeScript and React, familiarity with APIs and server-client communication such as REST and GraphQL, and experience running live production software. Comfort with backend systems, particularly those written in Rust, is beneficial, though prior Rust experience is not required. Effective communication skills in English, both verbal and written, and a collaborative approach to code reviews and pair programming are essential.

Helsing offers a focus on outcomes rather than time-tracking, competitive compensation and stock options, relocation support, social and education allowances, and regular company events to foster team cohesion across Europe. A comprehensive onboarding program is provided to familiarize new employees with the company's tech stack and operational processes.

Joining Helsing means contributing to the protection of democratic countries while engaging in unique engineering and AI challenges. The company encourages proactive and diverse debate, trusts teams and individual engineers to practice responsible autonomy and critical thinking, and focuses on impactful outcomes.
