Principal Software Engineer

I’m excited to share an opportunity that’s as rare as it is rewarding—a chance to join our team in Copenhagen as a Principal Software Engineer for the Fulfilled by Maersk Platform Portfolio. If you’re someone who lives and breathes technology, if you’re known in the industry for your visionary approach and hands-on mastery, then I’d love to talk with you.

I’m looking for a seasoned engineer who’s not only spent decades perfecting the art of software craftsmanship but who also thrives on shaping the future. In this role, you won’t just be writing code; you’ll be designing and documenting large-scale systems that set the standard for quality and innovation. I see you mentoring fellow senior engineers, sparking internal discussions, and setting the bar for what “best in class” truly means. Whether you’re writing white papers, delivering tech talks, or simply sharing your insights over a cup of coffee, your influence will extend far beyond our development team.

At Maersk, we’re in the midst of a tech-driven transformation—a story that’s been making headlines. We’ve been celebrated for our breakthrough initiatives in tech-powered logistics and our push towards cloud-native solutions. We are incredibly proud of how we’re integrating decades of legacy with cutting-edge technology, and I’m looking for someone who can help steer that journey even further. With deep expertise in languages and frameworks such as Java, C#, .NET, Kotlin, JavaScript, React, and TypeScript, along with hands-on experience in cloud-native microservices, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Puppet, you’ll be at the heart of our innovation. Your solid background with databases like Dynamo and PostgreSQL—and a nod to Flutter if you’re familiar—will empower you to create solutions that are not just scalable, but truly forward-thinking.

Every day at Maersk is driven by a purpose that goes beyond profit. We’re here to improve life for all by integrating the world, and I believe that when you’re passionate about technology and innovation, you want to be a part of something bigger. We’re a diverse and inclusive team, where every idea matters and every voice is heard. If you’re ready to lead a revolution in an industry that’s ripe for change, to inspire your peers, and to build solutions that will define the future, then I can’t wait to meet you.

What will we offer you?

At Maersk, we believe in investing in visionary talent, and that’s exactly what you’ll experience here. I offer you the chance to work at the very heart of a global tech transformation, surrounded by a diverse and passionate team that thrives on innovation. Imagine collaborating with industry trailblazers, enjoying a culture that encourages continuous learning, and having your ideas shape not only our technological future but also the way we redefine global trade. Alongside competitive benefits and a supportive environment, you'll have the autonomy to push boundaries and make a lasting impact—both within our organization and in the wider world.

Let’s build something extraordinary together!
