About us

We established Maritime Optima AS in April 2018, and we are privately funded by serial tech entrepreneurs and supported by Innovation Norway. We were awarded the Copernicus price in 2018 and the Microsoft Startup program in October 2019. We are working closely with the users and some of the largest global ship owning communities while developing our products. The first MVP of Maritime Optima (now ShipAtlas) was launched in August 2020. Today ShipAtlas has more than 85 000 registered users. In October 2022 we launched ShipIntel for maritime professionals.

We believe in knowledge driven maritime intelligence based on quality data. So in Maritime Optima, we’re building a software product for the shipping industry, which aids them into making more informed choices. This is mainly done through a solid data foundation and with manual enrichment by users, which they can share with colleagues. By presenting the data in an intuitive manner and making it possible to “play” with it, we give our customers the ability to utilise their company’s collective knowledge.

In order to build great products, we need to build a great team ourselves! Our existing team has solid domain knowledge and skilled developers, and we are looking for an experienced Data engineer that will strengthen our data science team.

• Strong Python coding skills (Numpy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn)
• Experience with databases (PostgresSQL, GraphQL)
• Knowledge of a variety of machine learning techniques (regression analysis, clustering, decision tree learning, artificial neural networks, etc.) and their real-world advantages/drawbacks.
• Experience leveraging data driven models to drive business decisions and building visualizations using large datasets and multiple data sources
• Go (or with an interest in learning it)
• Knowledge about and preferable experience from Dockers and Kubernetes
