Department Description

Allseas Engineering is looking for a technically skilled, full-stack, senior software engineer to lead a dynamic and innovative team. Our in house, custom-built applications support business-critical operations for both our global office departments and our fleet of vessels, operating thousands of kilometers offshore.

To lead the development of new and innovative applications, as well as the maintenance and modernization of existing systems, we're looking for a software engineer who is passionate about technical leadership, innovation and solving real business challenges. Are you skilled in translating business challenges into well-designed and robust software? Are you able to lead a team of developers to constantly raise the bar in terms of quality and performance? If so, we look forward to receiving your application.

Discipline Description

Job Description

As the lead for the Software Development team, you are the driving force behind the design, development, and delivery of our custom-built, in house applications. These systems facilitate business-critical processes, operating seamlessly across our onshore data centers, public cloud environments, and our remote offshore fleet. You will take a hands-on, technical leadership approach. While actively contributing to the codebase, you will guide the team's architectural decisions, ensuring our distributed systems are highly resilient, particularly when running at the edge under network-constrained conditions.

You will foster a culture of technical excellence by championing modern design patterns and ensuring our core technologies (such as NATS, gRPC, and PostgreSQL) are utilized to their full potential, with a strong focus on contract-driven development using data modeling and schema-driven APIs like Protobuf and OpenAPI. You'll apply industry best practices to ensure the highest quality software and a stellar developer experience. You champion initiatives like Documentation as Code and GitOps. Furthermore, you advocate for the grounded use of AI; preferring to leverage it thoughtfully as a productivity-enhancing tool rather than blindly "vibe coding" entire components. Beyond the code, you are a mentor and a bridge-builder. You will coach your team to elevate their skills, foster a culture of continuous learning, and collaborate closely with stakeholders to translate complex maritime engineering challenges into robust software solutions.

Key responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and grow a team of software engineers, conducting code reviews, facilitating knowledge sharing, and fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture.

• Design, build, and maintain custom software systems that run on-prem, in the cloud, and at the edge under network-constrained conditions.

• Ensure software quality and continuity by implementing static analysis tools, conducting code reviews, and maintaining extensive automated test suites.
