About the role

As a Software Engineer, you will become part of the Technology & Innovation Division and work in an autonomous agile team. Together with your colleagues, you will use your professional skills to design, build and run the best viable solutions for improving our ferry and passenger experience in Europe. This is done in close collaboration with our colleagues in the different business areas. You will be a key player in changing our existing software applications towards our new reference architecture, which is event driven, API first components running in the cloud which, among other things, enable us to release code many times a day.

As our new Software Engineer, you shall be ready to take responsibility for:

• Design code in C# .Net which is highly available using cloud first.
• Use microservice architecture which leverages reusable components.
• Utilize understanding of continuous integration and deployment
• Maintain excellent code quality and automatization.
• Engage, coordinate, and collaborate activities within and across agile teams.

To get a better feeling of the job we have asked one of our Senior Software Engineers to say a few words about how it is to work in Technology & Innovation:

“When I first came to DFDS I had limited experience with microservices and cloud technologies, but the culture within DFDS highly promotes continuous learning and knowledge sharing, so it didnt take long for me to gain these new skills which I would not be without. What I enjoy most about working at DFDS is the autonomous teams where an agile and fail fast mindset contributes to building awesome and modern solutions which brings value.”

• Nadia, Senior Software Engineer, DFDS
