Job description

Job Summary:

As a Software Developer on the Maintenance and Compliance (M&C) product team at Helm, you will design, build, and enhance the features that keep the world's maritime fleets safe, compliant, and running. M&C is one of Helm CONNECT's most widely adopted product lines, and this seat sits at the center of two of Helm's most significant active engagements: the Kirby offshore implementation and the Boluda Corporacion Maritima global rollout. You'll work across the full stack - .NET/C# services, Vue.js front ends, and PostgreSQL - collaborating with product, QA, and fellow developers to ship reliable, scalable features against customer-committed timelines.

Job Description:

What you are responsible for:

• Design and implement M&C features across the full software stack, including maintenance workflows, compliance and document management, and asset/component tracking.
• Deliver integration work supporting enterprise customer deployments, including document synchronization with third‑party systems (e.g., SharePoint).
• Maintain sprint velocity and estimate accuracy against committed release windows for customer-contracted scope.
• Perform code reviews and ensure design and coding adhere to Helm's standards.

Collaboration and Communication:

• Work with product management, QA, and other developers in project planning to achieve high-value, high-quality solutions.
• Participate in daily stand-ups, kick‑offs, collaborative estimation, and retrospective meetings.
• Collaborate with support and implementation teams to investigate and resolve issues reported from live customer environments.

AI-Augmented Development:

• Leverage AI tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) for code generation, refactoring, test creation, and documentation as part of Helm's AI-first development SOP.
• Critically evaluate AI-generated output - catching errors, refining results, and ensuring AI-assisted work meets Helm's quality and security standards.
• Share AI practices and learnings with the team to continuously improve delivery velocity.

Quality and Ownership:

• Own the quality of your deliverables through unit testing, integration validation, and go‑live readiness support.
• Support post-release monitoring and issue resolution for the features you ship.

What you bring to the team:

• Technical Acumen:
  • 3+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Experience with strongly typed object‑oriented languages (C# preferred).
  • Experience with front‑end frameworks (Vue preferred) and modern web technologies (HTML5, CSS).
  • Knowledge of relational database management systems (PostgreSQL preferred).
  • Solid Git fundamentals - branching strategies, pull requests, and code reviews in a shared repository.
• Business Acumen:
  • Understanding of how software delivery connects to customer outcomes and revenue.
  • Comfort working against contractual, customer‑committed deadlines.
• Communication:
  • Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
  • Proactive communicator who shares progress, asks questions, and clarifies expectations without needing to be asked.
• Education, Certifications and Training:
  • Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Bonus points if you also have:
  • Maritime Industry Knowledge.
  • Experience with enterprise document management or SharePoint integration.
  • Hands‑on experience using AI tools (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) to accelerate development work.
  • Experience with multi‑tenant SaaS platforms or ERP integrations.

Who you are:

• Goal-Oriented: You love setting and smashing goals, understanding that meeting objectives is key to success.
• Self-Motivated: You take charge of your workload, ensuring you meet deliverables with ease.
• Communication Skills: Your words, whether written or spoken, always hit the mark.
• Versatility: You thrive both on your own and as part of a team.
• People Skills: You genuinely enjoy connecting with people and chatting with customers.
• Ownership: You own your role and make things happen.
• Problem‑Solver: You tackle challenges head‑on with critical thinking and creativity.
• Forward‑Thinking: You love pushing the boundaries of design and innovation.
• Quality Work: You consistently produce high-quality work, knowing when to seek help.
• Resourceful: You find or create the tools and processes you need to succeed.
• Team Player: You motivate and support your team, driving collective success.
