Senior Full Stack Engineer

Location: Maidenhead - United Kingdom.

Maersk is the largest shipping and container logistics company in the world. A $40bn organisation with over 85,000 people, we ship roughly 20% of the world’s container freight. We’re bringing our organisation together to become an integrated container shipping and logistics company, fundamentally re-thinking how we do business. Improving our customer experience is a core priority.

We are a team working on two products that our customers and suppliers use to interact with Maersk. We need a front-end engineer to support the development of these products and build a great experience for our users.

In this role, you will have long-term ownership of the product and be responsible for design, build, test, deployment and operation using the latest technical stack.

Key responsibilities.

As a full stack engineer you will be involved in the implementation of all parts of the product. Depending on the need you will be work closely with a UX engineer and visual designer to develop the front end or with other engineers on the backend. Together you will build a product that users love:

You will:

· Put users first: our users define the product we create.

· Own the product: the product must be ours so we can make the right decisions.

· Optimize value, minimize work: minimal solutions mean we provide value earlier

· Collaborate as part of an agile team to deliver product features

· Design, write and test clean code using design patterns and best practices

· Focus on code quality, maintainability, scalability, security and performance.

· Review code for other team members.

· Participate in sprint planning, backlog refinement and task estimation.

· Travel as needed to Maersk locations to meet and work with development team members based abroad (e.g. Denmark).

· Perform out-of-hours support tasks if needed

What we are looking for

· Good working knowledge of front-end development languages, tools and methodologies – HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and associated technologies and toolsets (e.g. jQuery, Sass)

· Experience of building micro-services. We use Java 8+ and Spring Boot, running them in Docker containers deployed on Kubernetes. Bonus points for reactive programming

· Experience of behavior - driven development (BDD) using frameworks such as Cucumber

· Able to write front-end code that is cross-browser and cross-device friendly, through responsive or adaptive techniques.

· Solid written and verbal communication skills and able to articulate technical complexity to be understood by both technical and non-technical personnel

· Creation and ownership of technical designs

· Ownership of problems until they are resolved

· Experience of mentoring and supporting junior colleagues to help them grow

· Knowledge of agile development methods and how to structure teams within them

· Experience in leading agile ceremonies

· User-focused, whether responding to support queries or developing new features and functionality
