Role

Who you are

We need people who are organized, able to think on their feet, and can find creative solutions to interesting problems
Strong programming experience demonstrated via work experience, internships, or programming competition performance
Willingness to learn and work across stacks, e.g. from python (data processing, pytorch trainings, model visualization) to cloud infrastructure (terraform, docker, github actions)
Previous experience working on a platform team or building software for other engineers

What the job involves

We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our growing team! At Helm.ai, expect a fast-paced environment where you’ll work on cutting-edge technologies
Build our core product which allows customers to fine-tune foundation models and use vision-based generative AI technology to augment their existing datasets
Develop machine learning tools to enable internal engineers and external customers to train, validate, and deploy neural networks at scale
Deploy cloud infrastructure and build distributed data-processing pipelines that connect various ML capabilities
Build internal APIs to serve data, trigger workflows, prevent data contamination, etc

Our take

Automakers are in a race to produce the best self-driving vehicle systems to future-proof their businesses, and the key focus depends on the development of hardware such as radar and video sensors. Whilst these produce essential data required for autonomous vehicles to assess their surroundings, the industry lacks a software framework for the analysis of this data to improve self-driving capabilities.

Helm.ai develops software that aims to understand sensor data in the same way that humans can assess information whilst driving a car manually. Uniquely, this software uses machine learning to train neural networks without the need for on-road testing and manual data analysis, in an attempt to increase the rate of self-driving vehicle development and reduce the costs required to do so.

The autonomous vehicle sector has had its fair share of bumps, from regulatory challenges to underperformance in publicly listed companies. But there's still a massive opportunity in less populated areas, especially for long-haul right fleets. 2024 was a busy year for Heal. ai as it introduced a range of products designed to meet these specific needs. And with its cutting-edge technology and expertise, it's perfectly positioned to bring autonomous vehicles to market and support the future of transportation in these growing markets.
