Software Engineer

Join Wilhelmsen Ships Service (WSS) as Software Engineer

Location: Norway (Lysaker) | Type: Full-time

At Wilhelmsen you will work in autonomous product teams who own what they build💡  

In this role, you will be given ownership of new or existing products, with significant influence over direction, architecture, and goals. You will not only be responsible for implementing features, but also serve as one of the central decision makers in the team, helping to shape the path you believe will best realize our vision.  

Wilhelmsen Ship Service is a company fully owned by the Wilhelmsen group. We produce and deliver products essential for vessel operation, from chemicals, mooring ropes to safety equipment. Through our logistics network, we deliver these products to vessels in more than 2000 ports across the globe. Our digital team is building and maintaining customer facing solutions to support our physical products, like Line Management Plan (LMP) supporting mooring operations, and Waterproof supporting technical water treatment onboard vessels. Our products and services are built using a variety of technologies and services. C#, Blazor, Python, React, Go, Avalonia, Azure, GitHub to mention a few. 

The shipping industry is rapidly modernizing, and we’re tackling the opportunity to build smart, automated solutions head‑on. You’ll take ownership of the products that excite you most, and together with a capable team, solid tooling, and plenty of room for creative side‑projects, you’ll have the mandate and support to push your skills and our products forward. 

"There are very few pure IT-problems here and I absolutely love broadening my horizon by learning about anything from engines and water chemistry to creating software together with domain experts. This means that I am not only the guy who writes the code, I’m a part of the team that builds the solution to a complex problem, improving not only my skills as a developer but also growing as a professional in general."   - Kristoffer Møgster Berge, Head of Engineering and Technology in Wilhelmsen.

What we are looking for  

• “License to Fail”: We prioritize learning over raw efficiency. We want you to test new stacks, break things, and find better ways to solve old problems. 

• Whether you’re a pro in Typescript/React, Python or .NET, we care more about your problem-solving skills than your specific syntax. If a new language is the right tool for the job, we’ll back you in using it. 

• Someone willing to take responsibility, challenge current processes, and find solutions to problems, not just picking up work items in Jira.  

• Taking full-stack ownership: a person who wants to contribute backend and frontend 

How we work  

We believe in autonomous teams with strong individuals owning and managing products, not projects, and you’ll be at the core of one or more of our products’ futures. Each team is highly independent, aiming for the applications and services to be highly decoupled, with people as the most valuable part of the equation.  

What we offer  

• A central role in a company that is shaping the maritime industry  

• The tools you need and love  

• Competitive salary and an attractive pension plan  

• Flexible working hours, and location, working in a young and self-driven team  

• Global travels, port visits and vessel sailing opportunities (we have presence in more countries than the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs)  

• Company cabins in both winter and summer locations  

• Our very own sports organization for employees, WIL, with activities such as kayaking, squash, football, yoga and much more (pub-crawls and skiing-trips)  

• Gym and indoor court in the basement of the offices (football every Friday at lunch)  

• Perks like a paid mobile subscription and health insurance
