Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As an IT Engineer, you will design, build, and operate the IT and infrastructure that underpins Helsing's European offices and engineering teams.
- You will work across geographies and functions to deliver secure, scalable, and reliable infrastructure for collaborative work on highly sensitive defence technologies in alignment with applicable regulations, standards, and industry best practice.
- You will own meaningful parts of our endpoint, identity, network, and cloud estate, and partner closely with Security, Engineering, and IT Support to keep Helsing moving fast without compromising on trust.
- Your work is an essential ingredient in Helsing's ability to deliver complex systems that answer the challenges of tomorrow's battlefields.
- Configure, harden, and operate endpoints (workstations, laptops, servers) across macOS, Windows, and Linux.
- Design, deploy, and maintain on-premise compute environments built on Linux, including supporting capabilities like virtualization and Kubernetes.
- Configure and operate our network and VPN infrastructure across offices and remote workers, including network- and host-based security tooling.
- Operate and continuously optimise our corporate, development, and customer environments built primarily on Microsoft 365 and Azure, alongside other SaaS solutions.
- Lead the design and rollout of identity, access, and device management at scale (Entra ID, Conditional Access, MDM).
- Automate provisioning, configuration, and operational toil using PowerShell, Python, and IaC tooling.
- Partner with our IT Support team to resolve escalations, eliminate recurring issues, and raise the engineering bar across the IT function.
- Contribute to security, compliance, and audit activities, and help shape Helsing's IT strategy as we scale.

- Feel strongly about the right of democracies to defend their sovereignty through the fielding of capabilities that bolster deterrence and decisive action.
Experience
- Have 5+ years of experience in IT infrastructure and information security, ideally including time in the defence, government, or other regulated industries.

What we offer
- Helsing's work is important. You'll be directly contributing to the protection of democratic countries while balancing both ethical and geopolitical concerns.
- The work is unique. We operate in a domain that has highly unusual technical requirements and constraints, and where robustness, safety, and ethical considerations are vital.
- You will face unique Engineering and AI challenges that make a meaningful impact in the world.
- Our work frequently takes us right up to the state of the art in technical innovation, be it reinforcement learning, distributed systems, generative AI, or deployment infrastructure.
- The defence industry is entering the most exciting phase of the technological development curve.
- Advances in our field of the world are not incremental: Helsing is part of, and often leading, historic leaps forward.
- In our domain, success is a matter of order-of-magnitude improvements and novel capabilities.
- This means we take bets, aim high, and focus on big opportunities.
- Despite being a relatively young company, Helsing has already been selected for multiple significant government contracts.
- We actively encourage healthy, proactive, and diverse debate internally about what we do and how we choose to do it.
- Teams and individual engineers are trusted (and encouraged) to practise responsible autonomy and critical thinking, and to focus on outcomes, not conformity.
- At Helsing you will have a say in how we (and you!) work, the opportunity to engage on what does and doesn't work, and to take ownership of aspects of our culture that you care deeply about.
