Job description

The world is facing a climate emergency. At Maersk we see it as our obligation – as an industry leader in logistics and with the resources available to us – to do all we can to get to net zero operations as fast as possible and to help our customers decarbonize their global supply chains end to end.

You will work on Energy Transition products for the entire Maersk Group, stretching from Energy Sourcing to Ocean, Air, Terminal Operations, Warehousing, and Land Logistics.

As a key player in an industry responsible for 3.5 billion tons of annual direct emissions, A.P. Moller - Maersk (Maersk) is committed to leading the decarbonization of logistics and taking responsibility to be part of the solution, enabling a green and just transition.

Our Energy Transition technology team is at the heart of this work, using Advanced Technology and Development Techniques to rapidly develop and continuously deploy the systems we need to identify, track, and reduce our emissions.

Advanced Technology

This is a greenfield build, and our intent is to build a system that can rapidly make a difference now and that will still be relevant in 2040 and beyond.

We are currently using:

• Elixir for application code
• Python for data pipeline
• Kafka for our async message queues
• Kubernetes to schedule and run services
• Azure for infrastructure
• Phoenix for the front end
• We run a continuous delivery pipeline which is currently deploying to production 20-30 times a day.

Advanced Development Techniques

As a member of our team, you will pair daily with other software engineers using Extreme Programming (XP) methodologies, such as pair programming, test-driven development, and continuous integration and delivery.

Our Team spans multiple geographies with a focus in Portugal, India, and Copenhagen. We have developed methodologies to enable effective remote working and, although office facilities are available when needed or if you prefer the office environment, the norm is for people to work from home.

We are looking for people with the following skills and approach to development:

• Experience in the technologies we are using, ideally, Elixir or aligned languages such as Erlang or Ruby.
• Knowledge of extreme programming practices/values such as pair programming and commitment to Test Driven Design.
• Relevant domain knowledge such as logistics, financial services, or energy. We are particularly interested in experience of quantitative modelling, energy trading, and oil/liquids/green fuel commodities markets.

We offer flexible working and full access to the learning library.
