Software Developer

Business Unit

VBU - Helm Operations

Job Description

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 on Helm CONNECT—and we don’t take that lightly.

But world-class maritime software doesn’t happen by accident and we’re always looking for talented people who want to make an impact and have fun doing it. That’s where you come in.

We’ve scaled from a small start-up to a global leader while staying true to our roots: a lean, high-impact team culture built on ownership, trust, and delivering real value. Now we’re looking for a Full Stack Developer in India who’s ready to drive the development of our products forward.

Your Mission

As a Full Stack Software Developer at Helm, you design and implement innovative features for our products for the marine industry. You develop, test, and maintain .NET applications, enhance our Vue.js front-end for intuitive UI/UX, and optimize PostgreSQL and SQL Server databases. Collaborating closely with PMs, QA, and fellow developers, you ensure high-quality solutions that meet business needs. You perform code reviews, troubleshoot issues, and support your fellow developers, all while upholding our software development standards.

Make your impact with a rapidly growing Marine Software business!

A quick summary of the role:

This is a remote role based in India; however, you must be comfortable with at least 4 hours of overlap with our core working hours in British Columbia (PST/PDT). Our collaboration-heavy environment means regular synchronous communication with teams in Canada. Flexibility to align your schedule for team meetings during BC business hours is essential.
