Software Engineer

Join our global team for a career filled with opportunities to solve challenges both small and large, local and global, simple and complex.

In this role, you will be given ownership of new or existing products, with significant influence over direction, architecture, and goals. You will not only be responsible for implementing features, but also serve as one of the central decision makers in the team, helping to shape the path you believe will best realize our vision.

Wilhelmsen Ships Service is a company fully owned by the Wilhelmsen group. We produce and deliver products essential for vessel operation, from chemicals and mooring ropes to safety equipment. Through our logistics network, we deliver these products to vessels in more than 2000 ports across the globe.

Our digital team is building and maintaining customer-facing solutions to support our physical products, like Line Management Plan (LMP) for mooring operations and Waterproof for technical water treatment onboard vessels. Our products and services are built using a variety of technologies and platforms: C#, Blazor, Python, React, Go, Avalonia, Next.js, TypeScript, Azure, OpenAI and GitHub, to mention a few.

The shipping industry is rapidly modernizing, and we’re seizing the opportunity to build smart, automated solutions. We’re also building LLM-powered tools that make every day work easier for our colleagues across the business. You’ll work on the products that excite you most, and together with a capable team, solid tooling, and plenty of room for creative side projects, you’ll have the mandate and support to push your skills and our products forward.

“Almost nothing we work on here is just an IT problem. In any given week I might be learning how ship engines work or getting to grips with water chemistry, while building software side by side with people who know those fields inside out. I’m not only writing code – I’m helping solve a genuinely complex problem, and I’ve grown a lot from that, both as a developer and as a professional.”

We believe in autonomous teams with strong individuals owning and managing products, not projects, and you’ll play a key part in the future of one or more of our products. Each team is highly independent, and we aim for the applications and services to be loosely coupled. People are still the most valuable part of the equation.

“License to Fail”: We prioritize learning over raw efficiency. We want you to test new stacks, break things, and find better ways to solve old problems. Whether you’re a pro in TypeScript, Go, Python, .NET or React, we care more about your problem-solving skills than your specific syntax. If a new language is the right tool for the job, we’ll back you in using it.
