Graphic Designer

Who we are

Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.  

As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously.  

We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers.  We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications.  

The role

The work is unlike anything you've done before.  

Defence. Autonomous aircraft. Sovereign AI. Ethics. These are not the usual inputs for a graphic designer. But they are yours now, and the question of how you communicate them, visually, with precision and intelligence, is one of the most interesting design problems in Europe right now.   

This is a high-output role. You will be the engine of a fast-moving creative team, executing across the full range of Helsing's visual output.
