Job description

It's more than a job

In this IT role, you will manage, develop, and support the technology infrastructure that powers Kuehne+Nagel’s global systems and operations. This contribution is vital to making both special and ordinary moments in the lives of people a reality. In fact, your work enables our teams to deliver fresh fruit, time-sensitive healthcare products and much more to people all around the world. Working in IT at Kuehne+Nagel contributes to more than we imagine.

Are you passionate about technology, software craftsmanship and making a real difference in global logistics? We are looking for a Global Air Logistics IT (Senior) Software Engineer to join our team in Milton Keynes and help us build and evolve the applications that keep time-critical perishable shipments moving around the world.

You will work on KN FreshLOG as part of our Air Perishables Digital Product Landscape and the wider suite of applications our operational teams rely on every day. As part of the team, you will design and implement solutions in Java following agile principles, work closely with business stakeholders, and contribute to the continuous optimisation of our systems.

We welcome candidates at all levels — from junior developers with strong Java fundamentals through to senior engineers with Air Logistics domain experience and a track record of contributing to architecture decisions in distributed teams.

How you create impact

• Work with operational and product stakeholders to analyse business processes, then design and implement solutions end-to-end.

• Participate actively in design and architecture discussions.

• Write clean, well-tested code following our engineering standards and the principles of the Agile Manifesto.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines; contribute to containerisation and cloud deployments.

• Continuously optimise, stabilise and improve existing Air Perishables applications.

• Partner with business leaders, operational teams and technology colleagues to deliver innovative solutions that enhance operational efficiency.

• Evaluate emerging technologies and share findings and recommendations with colleagues.

• Engage in regular sprint ceremonies: stand-ups, planning, code reviews and retrospectives.

What we would like you to bring

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Logistics, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field; a Master's degree is advantageous.

• Strong foundational or production-level experience as a full-stack Java developer, including core skills in Java (17+) and strong technical expertise in Spring Boot, JPA/Hibernate, JUnit, CI/CD pipelines, Git, Maven, and Docker.

• Experience with JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and modern frontend frameworks such as React, TypeScript, and Vue.js; mobile technologies (PWA, Ionic); relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL); and API/system integrations, including RESTful services and Kafka.

• Practical agile / Kanban experience in distributed or international teams, with the ability to work independently, take initiative and resolve ambiguity.

• Experience with the latest AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code) to streamline the development process.

• Basic understanding of Air Perishables operations and processes is advantageous. Good communication skills and the ability to work within a global environment.

What's in it for you

• The opportunity to shape the future of operationally critical Air Perishables digital products used by Air Logistics teams around the globe and drive innovation across international operations.

• Collaboration with global business, technology, and product teams in a diverse and inclusive environment.

• Continuous learning and development opportunities, including exposure to cutting-edge technologies and cloud-based platforms.

• A culture that encourages innovation, teamwork, and professional growth.

• Competitive compensation and benefits, along with international exposure and career advancement opportunities.

• Hybrid working from our Wroclaw office.

Join us and help build the next generation of technology solutions that power global Air Perishables logistics.
