Who we are
Helsing is a new type of defence and artificial intelligence company. We believe that software - and especially artificial intelligence - will shape our democracies’ future. Our purpose is to attain technology leadership so that democratic societies are free to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.
Our mission is to attract Europe’s best purpose-driven tech talent and apply their capabilities to some of the most complex problems.
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.
The impact you will have
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.
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.
