You'll be joining a small, close-knit team building a modern maritime operations platform for a long-standing European client. The platform consists of three integrated applications handling everything from invoice management and fleet documentation to AI-powered data extraction from shipping documents.
The project is mid-migration - you'll be helping move a large legacy system into a new, well-structured architecture, while also delivering meaningful Quality of Life improvements that users feel immediately.
The stack is practical and modern: React + TypeScript + Next.js on the frontend, Python/Django/DRF on the backend, deployed on Azure with on-prem components. The team works in a Kanban/Agile model with bi-weekly syncs - no unnecessary ceremony, just focused delivery.
AI is not a buzzword here - it's embedded in the product and in how the team works. You'll be expected to use AI tools daily, both as a developer and as someone building AI-powered features for end users.
