The Role
We are looking for skilled and independent Senior Software Engineers to join our software engineering team that is focused on building a modern and user friendly platform, where users in the shipping industry can make quick decisions and stay informed through organised data.

To achieve this we use data, mathematical modeling, integrations, and optimisation to help our users get full transparency on their operations and allow them to make better decisions.

You will be an important part in a self-managing but integrated team that both builds the features, creates the needed architecture and works hard on creating a good work culture that allows you to work in the way that is best for you.

Important: We will only be reviewing and accepting applicants in and near Europe.

The team

We are a 25 person strong team made up of 9 nationalities, with half the company and most of engineering working remotely. On the engineering team we have an average of 9 years experience, so you will get experienced to work, learn and spar with. You can read more about the team and our remote culture on our website: https://www.portchain.com/careers.

We believe that a good software engineer is one who has the freedom to explore good solutions and has a team that lets the best argument win. We aim for having autonomous teams that co-own the platform and its technical evolution.
