Senior Software Engineer with GeoSpatial Data

Senior Software Engineer – FES (GeoSpatial Data)

Are you a software engineer comfortable working with a wide range of technologies and platforms? Do you understand what it takes to optimize and operate multiple microservices integrating a leading edge operational integrated solution? Do you enjoy building new systems from a blank slate as much as you love tweaking existing systems to achieve maximum performance? Would you like to be part of the product delivery team building an event streaming product (through use of Kafka technologies) from the ground up and then growing this as part of the Maersk’s delivery teams.

Maersk, the world's largest independent shipping company, is transforming into an industrial digital giant that enables global trade with its land, sea, and port assets. We are the APMT terminal integration platform organization that builds products that will deliver commercial revenue and cost efficiencies through building data driven products. This position offers the opportunity to build your engineering career in an intensive environment, delivering work that has direct and significant impact on the success of our company.

Maersk's Technology organization is a practitioner of the microservices approach to software development. Our nascent production ecosystem is based around sets of interdependent services. Our team's mission is to build and maintain API and event streaming data products e.g., Kafka, utilizing cloud native technologies like Docker/Kubernetes. We want to reduce the overhead of building and maintain products to meet our business needs through FinSecDevOps. Do you have Spatial Data Engineering skills, taking real life IOT data and plotting it onto Google OpenSource Street map? Are you innovative and looking to work with IOT data on a major scale?

This is an extremely exciting time to join a fast paced, growing and dynamic team that solves some of the toughest integration problems in the industry and enable the building of the future of Maersk as the global integrator of container logistics.
