Software Engineer (helm)

Software Engineer

We are hiring a Software Engineer to lead development of Helm, our software platform for subsea operations and asset intelligence. Helm is both the operator interface for controlling our autonomous vessels and ROVs, and the customer-facing platform where inspection data is processed, visualized, and turned into actionable insights.

You will be responsible for building Helm into a seamless, reliable product that connects ship control with asset awareness. Operators will use it to plan missions and monitor vehicle status in real time. Customers will use it to see a living digital record of their subsea infrastructure, complete with anomaly detection, inspection history, and predictive insights. This is a foundational role where your work will shape how the offshore industry interacts with subsea data.

Responsibilities

• Build and own the Helm platform, from mission planning and fleet operations to asset visualization and analytics
• Design interfaces that integrate live telemetry, navigation, and vehicle control into an intuitive operator dashboard
• Develop tools for customers to view pipelines, cables, and assets as digital twins enriched with inspection history and condition monitoring
• Implement backend systems for managing mission logs, inspection data, and sensor fusion outputs from USVs and ROVs
• Integrate outputs from perception and autonomy teams into user-facing features like anomaly detection and condition reporting
• Ensure Helm works in real-world marine environments, including low-bandwidth, high-latency connections
• Collaborate with robotics, perception, and product teams to prioritize features and deliver a cohesive system

Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong skills in modern web development (React, TypeScript, or similar frameworks)
• Backend development experience with Python, Go, or comparable languages
• Familiarity with data pipelines, real-time streaming, and scalable storage architectures
• Experience building applications that combine control systems with data visualization
• Ability to work across the stack and take ownership of end-to-end features
• Strong communication and collaboration skills in cross-disciplinary environments

Bonus Points

• Experience with GIS, mapping, or 3D visualization of sensor data
• Background in mission control software, fleet management, or robotics interfaces
• Familiarity with subsea or field robotics data, including sonar and video
• Startup experience building software from zero to one
• Exposure to asset management, inspection regimes, or digital twin platforms
