Hybrid Senior AI/ML Engineer at A.P. Moller - Maersk

The Brief

In this role as an Senior AIML Engineer on the Global Data and Analytics (GDA) team, you will support the development of strategic, visibility-driven recommendation systems that serve both internal stakeholders and external customers. This initiative aims to deliver actionable insights that enhance supply chain execution, support strategic decision-making, and enable innovative service offerings.

Data AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) Engineering involves the use of algorithms and statistical models to enable systems to analyse data, learn patterns, and make data-driven predictions or decisions without explicit human programming. AI/ML applications leverage vast amounts of data to identify insights, automate processes, and solve complex problems across a wide range of fields, including healthcare, finance, e-commerce, and more. AI/ML processes transform raw data into actionable intelligence, enabling automation, predictive analytics, and intelligent solutions. Data AI/ML combines advanced statistical modelling, computational power, and data engineering to build intelligent systems that can learn, adapt, and automate decisions.
