Software Developer

Job Summary:

At Helm Operations, we build the software that keeps the world's maritime operations moving - from tugboats in Vancouver Harbour to pilotage authorities across Australia. We're a small start-up turned global leader in marine software, serving many of the world's largest maritime companies. We're looking for a full-stack Software Developer, based in India, to join our Professional Services team and deliver custom development and integrations for our customers.

As a Software Developer on the PS team, you'll work across the full stack to deliver across several active, funded customer projects - including the Tiller and Pilbara pilotage engagements and the Odyssey jobs work - building features and integrations within the Helm CONNECT platform. You'll thrive in an environment where you may be working across multiple projects at a time, switching gears to manage shifting priorities, and you'll leverage AI-assisted development tools to build at speed. The role is based in India to provide cost-effective capacity and closer time-zone overlap with our Australian customers.

AI-Augmented Development:

• Use AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) to accelerate feature development, test generation, and documentation.
  - Critically evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, security, and domain fit before merging.
  - Become fully trained on all assigned Helm products and tools.
