Data Engineer

Data engineer What We re Building - and Why You Should Care GDA is Maersk s bold leap into the future of data and AI It s not just a platform-it s a transformation of how the world s largest integrated logistics company turns its operational data into strategic intelligence Think real-time insights on vessel ETA and carbon emissions metadata-driven supply chain automation and retrieval-augmented copilots that advise planners and operators Our data engineers don t just build pipelines-they shape the very foundation that powers AI-native logistics As a data engineer in the GDA-FBM team you ll help modernize and operationalize Maersk s global data estate You ll craft reusable observable and intelligent pipelines that enable ML GenAI and domain-specific data products across a multi-cloud environment Your code won t just move data-it ll move trade What You ll Be Doing Ingest the world Design and maintain ingestion frameworks for high-volume structured and unstructured data-from operational systems APIs file drops and events Support streaming and batch use cases across latency windows Transform at scale Develop transformation logic using SQL Python Spark and modern declarative tools like dbt or sqlmesh You ll handle deduplication windowing watermarking late-arriving data and more Curate for trust Collaborate with domain teams to annotate datasets with metadata ownership PII classification and usage lineage Enforce naming standards partitioning schemes and schema evolution policies Optimize for the lakehouse Work within a modern lakehouse architecture-leveraging Delta Lake S3 Glue and EMR-to ensure scalable performance and queryability across real-time and historical views Strong expertise building data modelling and dimensional modelling Experience in SSAS AAS Experience in Azure tech stack like ADF ADB Build for observability Instrument your pipelines with quality checks cost visibility and lineage hooks Integrate with OpenMetadata Prometheus or OpenLineage to ensure platform reliability and traceability Enable production-readiness Support deployment workflows via GitHub Actions Terraform and IaC patterns Your code will be versioned testable and safe for multi-tenant deployments Think platform-first Everything you build should be reusable You ll help codify data engineering standards create scaffolding for onboarding new datasets and drive automation over repetition What We re Looking For Strong foundation in data engineering You know your way around distributed systems columnar storage formats Parquet Avro data lake performance tuning and schema evolution Hands-on cloud experience You ve worked with AWS-native services like Glue EMR Athena Lambda and object storage S3 Bonus if you ve used Databricks Snowflake or Trino Modern engineering practices Familiarity with GitOps containerized workflows Docker K8s and CI CD pipelines for data workflows Experience with Terraform and IaC is highly valued Programming proficiency Fluency in Python and SQL is a must Bonus if you ve worked with Scala Jinja-templated SQL or DSL-based modeling frameworks like dbt sqlmesh Curiosity and systems thinking You understand the tradeoffs between batch vs streaming structured vs unstructured cost vs latency-and you ask why before you build Collaboration skills You ll work closely with ML engineers platform architects security teams and domain data owners Ability to communicate clearly and write clean documented code is key What Makes This Role Special Impact at global scale Your work will influence container journeys terminal operations vessel routing and sustainability metrics across 130 countries and 4T in global trade Platform-level thinking You re not just solving one use case-you re building primitives for others to reuse This is your chance to shape a high-leverage internal data platform Freedom to experiment We don t believe in checkbox engineering You ll have space to challenge the status quo propose better tooling and refine the foundations of our platform stack Career-defining scope Greenfield Executive visibility Cross-domain exposure This is not a maintenance role-it s about creating the next chapter in Maersk s data journey If you ve ever wanted to build a platform that moves not just data but global trade-join us Maersk is committed to a
