Head of Development - B2B Container Shipping Platform

LEAD DEVELOPER - B2B CONTAINER SHIPPING PLATFORM

eeSea aims to be the vessel scheduling backbone of the global container shipping industry.
Ocean container shipping carries 95% of the world’s manufactured goods. To many, a container vessel stuck across the Suez Canal in 2021 was a first peek at the interconnectedness of global supply chains. At the same time, COVID put the spotlight on timely goods delivery (or lack of it) and transport costs. More recently, the industry is starting to grapple with its role as a major emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG).

This industry could be your playground. Imagine reinventing and leading the network and scheduling-backbone of the industry. A platform that ingests millions of data points and translates them into valuable insights and actionable forecasts, used across the supply chain.

Headquartered in Copenhagen, eeSea is a well-established maritime supply chain intelligence scale-up, offering unbiased visibility and predictive analysis. Our vision is to be the central scheduling platform for the entire trillion-dollar industry.

We serve clients across this massive, complex, and fragmented maritime industry, who use eeSea for tasks ranging from high-level industry analysis and benchmarking, investment proposals, contract negotiations, and supply chain planning, asset optimization, daily port operations, and vessel and cargo forecasting. Our roadmap also includes visualising vessel GHG emissions.

We have the ambition to fundamentally evolve the container shipping industry; and we also have immediate and realistic targets to grow profitably and aggressively.



Job Description - Lead and build a stellar B2B platform

The eeSea team currently consists of the founder/CEO, the development team, the operations team, and the commercial team. The Lead Developer position is crucial in spearheading our development efforts.

You’ll lead this team that includes a senior developer who is deeply familiar with the current platform. You will guide the team and work on our constantly evolving data ingestion models, the architecture and automation powering our ‘engine room,’ and the intelligence layers that translate complexity into accurate predictions and actionable insights.

You’ll be working on a platform with a strong and clean code base, with the groundwork laid for further development. Your role will be to elevate it, including the core algorithms and scaling both the back-end and front-end.

Your primary tasks will include:

  • Design, manage, and grow eeSea’s main application platform (Laravel)

  • Continuously expand and improve our data ingestion and automation processes

  • Maintain and enhance the intelligence core of our platform, including data cleaning, automation, and ETL pipeline

  • Significantly expand our data visualization and product capabilities

  • Be an active part of the leadership team, contributing to strategic direction

Location: While the company is headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, our team is international. You can be based anywhere, but we prefer candidates in time zones not too far from Europe, where most of the rest of the team is located.

Your skills:

While we expect broad technical expertise, our app platform is primarily built using the TALL stack (TailwindCSS, AlpineJS, Laravel, Livewire), supported by a Google Cloud MySQL database, with elements of Vue. You’re likely strong on the back-end, with experience in data scrapers, APIs, and ETL pipelines. 

As a person, you:

  • Enjoy the challenge of building and growing a platform.

  • Take pride in writing clean, scalable code.

  • Have hands-on coding experience with PHP, Laravel, MySQL (and/or non-relational databases). The more familiarity you have with our stack (https://stackshare.io/eesea/enigma), the better.

  • Combine big-picture coding experience with an unapologetic focus on quality and detail.

  • Are a strong communicator and listener.

  • Are proactive and able to thrive in a fast-moving startup environment.

  • Take ownership of tasks and see them through to completion with quality and timeliness.

  • Think long term but with an action bias.

  • Are structured, both in your own work, and in managing your team.

  • Communicate fluently in English, both internally and with external partners (Danish is not required).

  • Love the growth opportunity in a startup.

  • Enjoy working as part of a close-knit team, embracing the smiles, grudges, chaos, trustrations, laughter, and good people that come with it.

What eeSea offers you:

  • A role that really leads and impacts the technical development of a platform that’s shaping the future of global container shipping. Your work will directly influence a trillion-dollar industry.

  • Autonomy & ownership to make key decisions, shape the platform’s roadmap, and see your ideas come to life.

  • Professional growth in an ambitious scale-up where you’ll collaborate closely with the CEO and be part of a high-performing international team.

  • Competitive salary and benefits, tailored to your needs and the value you bring.

  • 30 days paid vacation per year.

  • Flexibility to work from anywhere.

  • We value work-life balance and trust you to manage your time effectively.
