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.

But building world-class maritime software doesn’t happen by chance. It takes bold developers, meticulous QA professionals, and teams who Own It from first commit to customer delight. That’s where you come in.

Your Mission

As a QA Automation Developer, you'll be at the frontlines of delivering reliability at scale.

Make your impact with a rapidly growing Marine Software business!
