Kpler is a global intelligence platform founded in 2014 that simplifies complex trade information across commodities, energy, and maritime sectors. With over 850 experts across 69 countries, the company transforms intricate data into actionable strategies for millions of users worldwide.
As a Fullstack Engineer on the 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 team of experienced engineers, you will bridge frontend excellence with robust backend services, ensuring a unified and performant user experience. You will own features end-to-end, work on micro-frontend systems, and empower around 20 feature teams across the business.
Key responsibilities include:
- 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.
REQUIREMENTS (Must-haves):
- Web development experience: 2–5 years of professional engineering experience building modern web applications with solid TypeScript and at least Vue or React.
- Shared code ownership: Proven experience building or maintaining shared tools, component libraries, or internal frameworks that other developers rely on.
- End-to-end mindset: Eagerness to take full ownership of feature lifecycles, including developing Node.js backend/BFF services when needed.
- AI-assisted engineering: Hands-on experience incorporating AI development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) into your workflow with a pragmatic view of their capabilities.
- Collaborative approach: A pragmatic mindset that values shipping value early, receiving feedback, and iterating over polishing in isolation.
Nice-to-haves:
- Modern data & mapping tech: Experience with Mapbox, GraphQL, Kafka, PostgreSQL, or Elasticsearch.
- Backend languages: Familiarity or working experience with Python or Scala.
- Platform & architecture patterns: Exposure to hexagonal architecture, micro-frontends, event-driven systems, or monorepos.
