Rapid Capabilities Engineer

Helsing

Munich or Berlin, Germany

The role

Software only matters when it is actively being used to make a difference. As a Rapid Capabilities Engineer, you will be at the heart of this - taking our state-of-the-art software and deploying and integrating it into complex systems in non-traditional environments. You’ll be engaging directly with the users of that software and building critical last-mile functionality crucial for their, and Helsing's, success.

RCEs work on the proverbial final 20% - the last stretch that makes all the difference. We are looking for energised Software Engineers who care deeply about delivery and the end users who use the software that they’re building.

The day-to-day

Collaborate closely with our product and commercial teams; discovering and formalising customer requirements.
Build and design critical functionality on top of foundational building blocks to enable one or many deliveries.
Plan and lead the development and releases of new Software deployments for our customers.
Monitor and deploy software directly to customer managed environments ranging from classified on-prem bare-metal clusters to several different cloud providers.
Embed within a Software Engineering team to advocate for and work on the features your users want to see.
Identify bugs in core services, fix them, and ship the latest features and updates direct to every deployment.
Travel to customer sites for user-interviews, co-building sessions and co-use of the software deeply understand their needs and build your user empathy.

Nothing is impossible for an RCE; no matter the stack or environment, you dive straight in, building, patching, deploying, and constantly contributing to the key outcomes of the business.

You should apply if you

Have a degree in computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, or other relevant fields.
Possess strong communication skills, written and verbally.
Enjoy understanding and breaking down technical concepts, and sharing your learnings with others.
Are comfortable with back-end programming languages like Python, Rust, C++, Java, or similar.
Experience with container-based, cloud-native and edge application architectures.
Are eager to go where you’re needed to get things done.
