Deployed Product Designer

About Helsing

Helsing is a new type of defence and artificial intelligence company. We believe that software – especially AI – will shape democracies’ futures. Our purpose is to attain technology leadership so that democratic societies can make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards. We are looking for people who share our conviction that our democratic values are worth protecting for ourselves and future generations. Our mission is to attract Europe’s best purpose‑driven tech talent and apply their capabilities to some of the most complex problems.

Role

Join our team as a UX Designer to make a real difference. As software and AI become increasingly complex it is critical to design intuitive and trustworthy applications, particularly for those on the battlefield. You will explore uncharted territories, help set the standard for great UX in AI‑based cognitive applications for the next decade, and tackle complex design challenges while pushing the boundaries of what is possible with AI and UX design.
