Opportunity

Are you an engineer comfortable working with a wide range of technologies and platforms? Do you understand what it takes to optimize and operate event streaming software products? Do you enjoy building new systems from a blank slate as much as you love tweaking existing systems to achieve maximum performance? Would you like to be part of the product delivery team around the Event Streaming Platform in Maersk, based on Kafka and Microsoft event streaming technologies?

This is an opportunity to join Maersk's Technology organization as a Platform Engineer for our Event Streaming Platform, and drive visible change at a globally respected, industry leading brand.

This position offers the opportunity to build your engineering career in an intensive environment, delivering work that has direct and significant impact on the success of our company.

Maersk's Technology organization is a practitioner of the microservices approach to software development. Our nascent production ecosystem is based around sets of interdependent services. Our team's mission is to build and maintain an event streaming-based integration platform through the use of cloud computing,

This is an extremely exciting time to join a fast paced, growing and dynamic team that solves some of the toughest integration problems in the industry, and enable the building of the future of Maersk as the global integrator of container logistics.
