What you will be doing

• You will foster secure software development standards and best practices in pair programming, unit testing, code review, and monitoring by example, mentoring, and making it easier for developers to do the right thing.
• You will communicate with developers in other teams to learn how they work, and you will find ways to improve their development experience and efficiency.
• You will build shared libraries, frameworks, and tooling that improve developer experience for multiple teams.
• You will assist engineers in fixing vulnerable code, configuring CI/CD pipelines, or setting up logging and monitoring.
• You will learn to speak a common language with backend developers who use Python and SQL, frontend developers who rely on ReactJS, DevOps engineers working in AWS, and data scientists using dbt/Snowflake.

  About Xeneta
  At Xeneta, we have been on a mission to transform the ocean and air freight markets since 2012. We are doing this by building a data platform that provides intelligence to the very opaque industry of buying and selling containerized freight. Now, Xeneta is the leading freight rate benchmarking and market analytics platform—creating transparency and empowering our customers to make data-driven decisions.
  Our customers include big brands such as Kuehne+Nagel, Coca-Cola Company, Unilever, Pfizer, Flexport, L’Oreál, Nestlé, and Volvo.
  Headquartered in Oslo, with offices in Hamburg and Jersey City and employees from over 60 different countries, we are a truly international company that celebrates diversity. We’re growing at a fast pace, helped in part by our latest investment round where APAX Digital invested $80M, and we are continuously searching for top talent and partners to join us on our mission.
