Lead Software Engineer

Maersk is hiring a Lead Software Engineer to lead the development of our NSCP platform. 
About the role
In this role, you will be playing a key part in building the foundations of an exciting greenfield
project. Here are some of the things the role involves:
• Work on defining event and API schemas in collaboration with parties that provide data to
and consume from the platform.
• Work closely with our product owners in translating ideas and solutions to customer
problems into scalable working software.
• Ensure application architecture and data flows are secure by design. Actively participate
in architecture guilds reviewing work of other peer teams.
• Break down high-level requirements, sometimes with ambiguity, into smaller specific
items that can efficiently be worked upon by more junior engineers.
• Make technology choices appropriate to the problem being solved; lay the foundations
when a technology is introduced, and bring the whole team along the journey.
• Ensure hygiene practices like clean code, test coverage, performance checks etc. are put
in place and gated with automated checks.
• Ensure applications emit standard signals needed for effective monitoring and alerting.
Own the “running” of the application once deployed as much as “building” it encouraging
DevOps mindset and skills within the team.
• Actively participate in code reviews and encourage using it as a tool for the team
members to learn from each other.
• Partner with the engineering manager and drive a culture of continuous delivery where
almost every single change goes to production on a continuous basis, and the path from
code commit to going live is as automated as it can be.
• Help create practices within the team that are inclusive of members working across
geographies, time zones and cultures.
