Introduction

At Helm Operations, we build the software that keeps the world’s maritime operations moving. From tugboats in Vancouver Harbour to offshore service vessels in the North Sea, our customers run their businesses with Helm CONNECT. And we don’t take that lightly.

We’ve grown from a small start-up on Canada’s west coast into a global leader serving many of the world’s largest maritime companies. Our mission is simple: deliver software that connects the marine industry like no other technology company.

But world-class software doesn’t happen by accident, it takes tough teams, ownership, and deep care for customers. That’s The Helm Way.

Now, we’re looking for a Software Developer who’s ready to bring curiosity, craftsmanship, and courage to our expanding crew.

As a Software Developer at Helm, you’ll design, build, and enhance the next generation of features that power Helm CONNECT. You’ll work across the stack from front-end to back-end, collaborating with product, QA, and other developers to create elegant, reliable, and scalable solutions that help real-world marine crews do their jobs more safely and efficiently.

You’ll thrive here if you love owning outcomes, sharpening your skills, and coding with purpose.

Make your impact with a rapidly growing Marine Software business!
