Software Engineer - Networking

Helsing was built 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 foundation for intelligent distributed systems is their ability to communicate. Our systems exchange information in a large variety of modalities: edge-to-edge and edge to cloud, in high-bandwidth and low-bandwidth environments, over the wire and through the air, optimized for latency or throughput, as sensor data streams or structured API requests, in embedded systems as well as containerized environments, etc.

In addition to the complexity of heterogeneity, our systems also need to communicate in the presence of adversarial actors that may spoof connections or deteriorate or incapacitate network links. This implies an obvious need for peer authentication, but also means that we need to think about channel allocation, quality of service, and routing as adaptive problems.

You will design, implement, operate, and continually monitor and improve Helsing’s networking layer. For example, this can be as simple as configuring and running networking stacks on embedded hardware or cloud infrastructure, or as challenging as designing and implementing adaptive, resilient protocols for edge networks. We are looking for individual contributors as well as team leads.
