Software Engineer

Job Description

Maersk is the world’s largest shipping and container logistics company, responsible for moving 20% of the world’s long-distance goods. As a $40bn organization with over 85,000 employees, we are uniting our global operations to become a fully integrated container shipping and logistics leader. Central to this transformation is our commitment to improving the experience for our customers and partners by rethinking how we do business—leveraging innovation and technology to create seamless, end-to-end logistics solutions for all.

In the Identity Access Management & KYC team, we play a critical role in this journey by shaping the onboarding, login, and account management experiences for every external Maersk user, ensuring seamless and secure access across our global logistics ecosystem.

We believe in a culture where role boundaries are flexible, and where we focus on solving the most important problems, even if it means stretching our skills. If you have a strong front-end background but are excited to take ownership of full systems and drive tangible business outcomes, this is your opportunity.

Join us and help redefine what access and account management can mean for a company that moves goods across the globe.

What you’ll do

· Build and evolve the login, registration, and account management journeys on Maersk’s websites.

· Develop front-end applications using Vue.js, ensuring they are fast, secure, and accessible across devices.

· Extend and improve backend APIs using reactive Java and cloud-native technologies (Kubernetes, Azure).

· Collaborate with engineers, designers, architects, and product owners to deliver cohesive end-to-end experiences.

· Help other Maersk engineering teams integrate with our access platform through documentation, examples, and teaching sessions.

· Take part in DevOps responsibilities: monitoring, troubleshooting, and improving production systems.

· Continuously challenge how we work, propose improvements, and help us grow a strong, pragmatic engineering culture.

What you bring

· You are a doer, who takes ownership and drives results

· 5 years minimum but 8+ years preferred, of experience delivering production software, ideally with strong front-end foundations.

· Hands-on experience with modern front-end development (HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript ES6+, Vue.js, React, or Angular).

· Working knowledge of backend principles: APIs, authentication flows, server-side logic.

· Curiosity and willingness to grow into full-stack delivery, with support from the team.

· Some experience (or strong interest) in server-side development using Java, Kotlin, Node.js, or equivalent. We use reactive Java for our webservices.

· Experience using Continuous Integration (CI) / Continuous Delivery (CD) systems for development and deployment for both frontend and, potentially, for containerized backend services.

· Proven knowledge of test-driven Development (TDD) would be a plus.

· Strong communication skills — you explain technical issues clearly and work constructively across disciplines.

· You care deeply about engineering excellence knowing that quality is not something we add but is a function of how we work.

How we work

· We believe good engineering is full-system thinking: no one succeeds if only their part works.

· We operate as a product team, not a feature factory — understanding customer needs and delivering real value.

· We prioritize what’s important, not just what we’re already good at.

· We care about engineering excellence, but not as an ivory tower — quality is built into our daily habits, not something we add later.

· We are serious about DevOps — we build it, we run it.

Why join us?

· Work on critical, high-impact systems used by millions worldwide.

· Grow your technical skills across frontend, backend, cloud, and DevOps.

· Be part of a small team where your voice, ideas, and work directly shape outcomes.

· Join Maersk’s broader technology transformation journey, collaborating with 3000+ tech professionals globally.
