Veson Nautical is a well-established and rapidly growing software company working to provide end-to-end logistical, operational, and analytical solutions to propel the efficiency and effectiveness of Maritime Commerce.

The Opportunity:

We are seeking a Software Engineer to help design and implement scalable software components that power our products. While this role primarily focuses on Python-based development, exposure to data workflows (ETL, warehousing) is a plus but not required. You’ll work closely with engineering leads and product managers to deliver high-quality features and maintain system stability, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement.

Our Stack:

In this role, you will utilize a combination of Python, SQL, Snowflake, DBT (for ETL processes), and some C# in your day-to-day work.

A Closer Look at the Role

This role will provide opportunities to get your hands on various tasks/technologies such as:

• Design, build, and maintain Python-based software components that integrate with our broader platform.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Contribute to discussions on code quality, maintainability, and performance improvements.
• Participate in sprint planning and provide input on feasibility, effort estimation, and trade-offs.
• Implement features and fixes with scalability and flexibility in mind.
• Assist in occasional integration with data workflows, such as ETL pipelines or warehousing tools, where applicable.
• Identify and communicate technical risks or blockers early to support smooth delivery.
• Engage in code reviews and knowledge sharing to support team growth.

Skills/Experience Needed:

• Background in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent hands-on industry experience
• Strong programming skills in Python; experience building production-grade applications.
• Ability to break down complex problems and communicate technical concepts clearly.
• Experience collaborating across teams (engineering, product, in an Agile environment).
• Familiarity with ETL pipelines, data integration, or modern data warehousing (Snowflake, DBT) is a plus, but not required.

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply. While we try to be thorough with our job descriptions, note that everything about you as a candidate cannot be condensed into a list of bullet points.
