Job Summary
Who We Are
APM Terminals operates one of the worlds largest port and terminal networks. Inside it our Digital Data & AI Engineering organization is building something rare in this industry: AI-native engineering squads whose work directly changes how terminals run vessels turning faster equipment lasting longer revenue growing. Our purpose is simple: make every terminal the best version of itself.
You will lead a multi-squad engineering group of 25 engineers spanning four domains: Commercial AI Asset Intelligence Data & AI Platform and Architecture & Scale. Your teams sit in India and Europe. Your customers are commercial leaders asset managers and terminal operators worldwide.
What You Will Own
Commercial AI
Generative AI products for commercial teams market intelligence pricing and revenue intelligence and contract analytics. LLM-powered co-pilots and agentic workflows that help commercial teams price sharper and win more.
Asset Intelligence
AI for the physical backbone of the business total cost of ownership modeling asset replacement and lifecycle planning simulation and the data foundation for asset management across a multi-billion-dollar equipment fleet.
Data & AI Platform
The AWS-native data platform every product is built on enterprise data lake large-scale cloud migration data engineering ML Ops AI Ops and observability. Reliable governed and cheap to build on.
Architecture & Scale
The architecture standards scaling patterns and engineering practices that let one terminals solution become a network-wide capability designed for the tenth consumer not the first.
How We Work Our Operating Principles
Player-coach leadership. You and your squad leads build alongside the teams writing code reviewing models shipping to terminals. When the person making decisions is also in the work things move faster and outcomes get better.
Outcomes over technology delivery. Every engineer knows what changes at the terminal because of their work. Not sprints closed not models deployed vessels turning faster revenue growing.
Every engineer is a force multiplier. AI handles the repetitive work so people spend their time on decisions that drive commercial and terminal outcomes. The multiplier isnt fewer people its people solving bigger problems.
Forward-deployed engineering. We build where the problem lives embedded with planners and operators feeding every terminals fix back into the platform so it becomes a capability for the whole network.
What Success Looks Like in Your First Year
Commercial AI products in the hands of commercial teams and moving revenue with measured adoption not just deployment.
The cloud migration of our core data platform completed with improved reliability and lower run cost.
Asset intelligence models informing real replacement and investment decisions with finance and operations trusting the numbers.
Four squad leads operating as genuine player-coaches growing accountable and capable of running the engine when you step back.
An engineering culture where AI-assisted development is the default and delivery speed is visibly compounding.
What You Bring
Engineering leadership at scale. 14 years in software/data/ML engineering 5 years leading multi-team organizations (2550 engineers) through senior leads with a track record of delivery in production at scale where the business depended on it.
Player-coach credibility. You still build. You can review an architecture challenge a model design or pair on a hard problem and your teams know it. You coach squad leads to do the same.
Data platform depth. Hands-on history with modern cloud data platforms (AWS preferred S3 Glue EMR Redshift SageMaker Bedrock or equivalents) large-scale migrations data engineering ML Ops and AI Ops and platform observability.
Gen AI in production. You have shipped LLM-powered products RAG systems co-pilots or agentic workflows where quality latency cost and evaluation were real engineering constraints not demos.
Commercial and asset instinct. You connect engineering to money. Pricing revenue intelligence TCO modeling lifecycle economics you understand the decision your product enables and you push back on poorly framed requirements.
People leadership that compounds. You hire well grow leaders beneath you have honest conversations early and build teams that outlast you. You lead distributed teams across time zones with clarity and care.
Decision speed under ambiguity. You make the call communicate it clearly and keep multiple workstreams moving. Momentum over consensus-seeking.
Nice to Have
Terminal operations port logistics shipping or adjacent supply chain domains AI-native development tooling rolled out as engineered team workflows (Claude Code Cursor Copilot or similar) FinOps for data and AI workloads Experience presenting to C-level stakeholders.
What We Offer
A senior leadership role with genuine scope: four squads a global platform and products that move measurable revenue and cost in one of the worlds largest terminal networks. High ownership direct access to senior leadership international exposure across our global network and the backing to build an AI-native engineering organization the industry will benchmark against. Flexible working within a collaborative hybrid model.
