COMPANYHelsing

We’re building Helsing's first U.S.-based engineering team in Washington, DC. As an early member of this team, you’ll architect and build the infrastructure foundation that enables our mission in the U.S. market. This is a rare greenfield opportunity to establish secure, compliant cloud infrastructure from the ground up while working at the intersection of cutting-edge AI technology and national security. You will own the end-to-end infrastructure stack — from designing and implementing compliant AWS environments to developing and deploying the developer tooling that multiplies your team’s effectiveness. As we scale, you’ll build the platforms and automation that allow teams to focus on rapidly delivering capabilities to our customers, safely and securely.

The day-to-day:

  • Architect and implement AWS GovCloud infrastructure that meets CMMC Level 2 requirements and prepares us for certification.
  • Create, manage, and execute on a roadmap for adopting, modifying, and deploying Helsing's infrastructure patterns and developer tooling. Work with the Core Infra and DevX teams to adopt or create what makes sense for our specific needs.
  • Maintain Terraform and IaC tooling, manage Kubernetes workload infrastructure for builds and AI training, and co-develop Python and Rust based developer tools.
  • Improve developer productivity by leveraging existing tools and creating new ones. Support DevOps and MLOps workflows, complete with CI/CD automation and CLI tooling.
  • Work with vendors, partners, and service providers to integrate third-party tooling while maintaining our security and compliance requirements.
  • As a senior member, you will help interview, onboard, and mentor new engineers. Over time, you will contribute to the growth and culture of the infrastructure teams.

You should apply if you:

  • Have deep experience with AWS, including designing and operating production infrastructure at scale. Experience with AWS GovCloud, or creating compliant AWS infrastructure, is a significant plus.
