To facilitate efficient and sustainable trade through the provision of state-of-the art, technology-led data, analytics and market insight.
Role
Who you are
- 2–5 years of professional engineering experience building modern web applications with solid TypeScript and at least Vue or React
- Proven experience building or maintaining shared tools, component libraries, or internal frameworks that other developers rely on
- Eagerness to take full ownership of feature lifecycles, including developing Node.js backend/BFF services when needed
- Hands-on experience incorporating AI development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) into your workflow with a pragmatic view of their capabilities
- A pragmatic mindset that values shipping value early, receiving feedback, and iterating over polishing in isolation
- Don’t meet every single requirement? Research shows that women and people of color are less likely than others to apply if they feel like they don’t match 100% of the job requirements. Don’t let the confidence gap stand in your way, we’d love to hear from you! We understand that experience comes in many different forms and are dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team
Desirable
- Experience with Mapbox, GraphQL, Kafka, PostgreSQL, or Elasticsearch
- Familiarity or working experience with Python or Scala
- Exposure to hexagonal architecture, micro-frontends, event-driven systems, or monorepos
What the job involves
- As a Fullstack Engineer on our Web Experience team, you will help build and evolve the frontend platform powering Kpler’s flagship products: MarineTraffic and Kpler Terminal. Working within a distributed, collaborative crew of experienced engineers, you will bridge frontend excellence with robust backend services, ensuring a unified and performant user experience for millions of global users. You will own features end-to-end, work on micro-frontend systems, and empower around 20 feature teams across the business
- Deliver end-to-end features: Build and scale client-facing, cross-domain capabilities—such as interactive maps, unified search, and custom user dashboards—from backend microservices to frontend UI
- Unify component architecture: Accelerate the migration of core applications onto Atlas, Kpler’s shared Tailwind-based design system built in Vue 3 and React
- Develop Node.js backend services: Design and maintain microservices and Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layers that compose domain data owned by adjacent engineering teams
- Enhance developer experience: Rotate regularly into developer tooling, monorepo automation, CI pipeline optimizations, and internal support to assist feature teams building on the platform
- Leverage AI-assisted workflows: Integrate AI tools like Cursor or Claude Code into daily development, identifying opportunities to boost efficiency while maintaining architectural quality
- Promote architectural excellence: Participate in code reviews, technical pair programming, and architectural discussions grounded in Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and hexagonal architecture
Our take
Even as more and more industries digitise, processes in legacy industries such as trade remain relatively archaic – with commodity markets running on incomplete, dispersed and sometimes inaccurate information. Kpler, founded in 2014, brings data technology to trade, in order to make the space more efficient and sustainable.
Kpler is the leader in its field, claiming ten times the revenue and commercial footprint of its nearest competitor. The company supplies real-time, transparent data on commodity markets, as well as actionable insights for those acting in the industry. Partnerships with leading data providers and analytics firms have bolstered Kpler’s offerings to cover a range of markets across the trading space, cementing its leadership as a provider of commodity market data.
On top of this, the company has secured massive funding for its continued expansion, received atop already impressive growth and between 2022 and 2023, acquired five companies. The investment is being used to make more smart acquisitions, of note within the growing maritime analytics and logistics market, hire talent, and accelerate development to ensure it remains at the forefront of its field.
