Software Engineer

Maersk is hiring Software Engineers who can work across the stack, with especially strong web front-end skills, to join the Visibility Platform team. This platform is powered by tons of data, and this role provides an opportunity for working with this dataset and innovating to find effective ways to present the right subset of the data to users in the right context.

About the role

In this role, you will work on a greenfield project that aims to provide increased quality of visibility into the movements of containerised shipments and associated attributes like delays, extra charges incurred, emissions, etc.

Here are some of the things the role involves:

• Work closely with the UX and product team to iterate and provide feedback on mocks and designs and how well they solve user problems.
• Build quick prototypes for exploring concepts. Be happy to throw some away and evolve others into solutions that are maintainable for a long time.
• Work backwards from the mocks and help design API structures that can power the views in an efficient and performant manner. For where existing API’s can be limiting, help explore alternate options in design that don’t degrade originally intended user experience.
• While building the views, care deeply about semantic HTML, accessibility, and rendering performance – often with each going hand-in-hand with the other.
• Work with Maersk’s design system conventions and ensure consistency in design language across multiple micro-applications. Know when the conventions can be limiting and be comfortable stepping out of it.
• Ensure hygiene practices like test coverage, performance profiling etc. are put in place and gated with automated checks.
• Actively participate in code reviews and encourage using it as a tool for team members to learn from each other.
• Work in an inclusive manner with team members across geographies, time zones and cultures.

About you

Here are some things we expect from you for the role:

• Be highly proficient with semantic HTML, modern CSS and plain JavaScript. TypeScript experience is a bonus.
• Be highly proficient with responsive design.
• Be highly proficient with at least one of React, Vue, Svelte, or Angular. Be open to working with Vue as that is what we mainly use.
• Be highly proficient with at least one build system like Webpack.
• Be highly proficient with a test framework like Jest, and be a natural at always maintaining high test coverage for any code written.
• Be familiar with browser-based testing frameworks like Cypress to automate end-to-end user workflow
• Be familiar with Node.js and the npm ecosystem.
• Be aware of common reusable open-source libraries.
• Be also mindful of not causing bloated dependencies.
• Be able to independently deliver work on major web components and pages. Have an eye for extracting out patterns for reusability that can help in ensuring consistency across multiple web applications.
• Be familiar with Core Web Vitals, and how to build pages that render blazing fast, and have measurements set up to be monitored continuously.
• Be open to deep dive into other parts of the tech stack and learn new skills on the go.
• Be a stickler for developer productivity, and always be on the lookout to get things done more efficiently. Be adept at using modern LLM-based tools (like GitHub Copilot) to increase quality and speed of work.
• Be effective at written and spoken communication. Also exhibit the same in writing code that can be well understood by other developers.
• Having previous experience of working with visual elements like maps and charts that help display massive amount of data in aggregated form would be desirable.
• Having knowledge about logistics and supply chain domain would be a bonus.
