Job description

AI/ML Engineer (Data Engineering + AI Focus) Data AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) Engineering involves the use of algorithms and statistical models to enable systems to analyze data, learn patterns, and make data-driven predictions or decisions without explicit human programming. AI/ML applications leverage vast amounts of data to identify insights, automate processes, and solve complex problems across a wide range of fields, including healthcare, finance, e-commerce, and more. AI/ML processes transform raw data into actionable intelligence, enabling automation, predictive analytics, and intelligent solutions. Data AI/ML combines advanced statistical modeling, computational power, and data engineering to build intelligent systems that can learn, adapt, and automate decisions. A.P. Moller – Maersk is the global leader in container shipping services. The business operates in 130 countries and employs 80,000 staff. An integrated container logistics company, Maersk aims to connect and simplify its customers’ supply chains. Today, we have more than 180 nationalities represented in our workforce across 131 Countries and this mean, we have elevated level of responsibility to continue to build inclusive workforce that is truly representative of our customers and their customers and our vendor partners too.

The team - who are we: We are an ambitious team with the shared passion to use data, data science (DS), machine learning (ML), advanced simulation, optimization and engineering excellence to make a difference for our customers. We are a team, not a collection of individuals. We value our diverse backgrounds, our different personalities and strengths & weaknesses. We value trust and passionate debates. We challenge each other and hold each other accountable. We uphold a caring feedback culture to help each other grow, professionally and personally.

We Offer - This Is What You Get You will be part of the APM Terminals team within Global data and analytics (GDA). We believe data and AI are crucial to how we will operate, grow, and shape our industry’s future. Our Data and AI Foundation is the platform making this possible – unifying trusted data across our business and fuelling advanced analytics and AI solutions. It’s central to our ambitious journey of becoming a truly data-driven, AI-enabled organization. We’re looking for a hands‑on Engineering Manager to build and scale this foundation. This is a unique opportunity for someone who’s as comfortable diving into code and architecture as guiding a team – a leader who can inspire great engineers while ensuring AI is built into the core of our platform.

What you’ll do

• Lead the development of a global Data and AI platform – the backbone of data & AI innovation across APM Terminals.
• Act as a hands‑on technical leader – leading by example, owning architecture decisions, writing key parts of the codebase, and tackling complex problems alongside your team.
• Build for reuse and scale – designing shared data models, KPIs, pipelines, and APIs that empower teams across APMT to innovate faster.
• Infuse the platform with intelligence – applying AI to improve data quality, automate monitoring, and boost developer productivity.
• Advance our ML / AI Ops capabilities – ensuring seamless model training, deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management for reliable AI in production.
• Empower teams to build and scale AI & GenAI solutions – by providing trusted data and robust, production‑ready infrastructure.
• Work with product, architecture, and business stakeholders – to turn real needs from operations, commercial, finance, and more into durable platform features.
• Coach and mentor a talented engineering team – inspiring a high bar for quality, ownership, and continuous improvement.

What makes this role stand out

• Lead + build – you get to manage a team and remain deeply technical (no need to choose one or the other).
• Intelligent platform – the foundation gets smarter with AI to constantly improve quality, speed, and scale.
• Broad impact – your technical decisions and code will accelerate innovation across the company, enabling many teams to create value faster.
• Global challenge, real impact – you’ll tackle complex, cross-domain problems at global scale, and see your solutions make a lasting difference.

What we’re looking for

• Deep engineering experience – strong background in data engineering, including designing and operating large-scale data and AI platforms.
• Proven leadership – you’ve managed and developed engineers while staying technical (architecture, code reviews, even coding when needed).
• Modern architecture skills – solid understanding of cloud‑native data architectures, platform engineering, and best practices in building robust, scalable data systems.
• AI/ML exposure – hands‑on experience with AI/ML or data science systems in production, and familiarity with MLOps / AI Ops practices to support model deployment and monitoring.
• Automation & quality mindset – experience with AI‑assisted development or intelligent automation for data quality/observability.
