Student Assistant

Are you ready to join the Commercial Data & Software Engineering team?
As one of the premier coating companies in the world, Hempel contributes to the decarbonization of the shipping industry and, increasingly, to the sustainable transformation of the energy and infrastructure sectors through a combination of premium products and innovative digital solutions. Hempel’s Commercial Data & Software Engineering team utilizes data gathered from the entire world fleet alongside inhouse models, to help shipowners make more economically sound and environmentally friendly decisions when managing their fleet.

We are now extending the same data driven approach into the energy & infrastructure sector through a new platform currently in development. With an ever-increasing demand for easily accessible insights, we are looking to expand our team with two talented student assistants - one with a primary focus on frontend development, and one with a primary focus on backend development.

Want to help decarbonize shipping and strengthen critical energy and infrastructure assets through data and digitalization?
As part of the Commercial Data & Software Engineering team, you will have the opportunity to be part of the modernization of the Energy and Infrastructure (E&I) industry by contributing to the development of a new data platform over a 1½-year period.

You will work with cutting edge digital tools to optimize and mature our data handling and loading processes, build user-facing functionalities for both platforms, and help shape how data is delivered to internal and external users. The two roles are distinct, but will work closely together. Whichever role you join, there will be opportunities to step across the line between frontend and backend depending on your interest, the project’s needs, as well as your evolving skill set.

What will your main responsibilities be?
Your primary focus will be the user facing side of our platforms, building, refining, and maintaining the interfaces our users interact with every day.

• Develop and maintain frontend functionality across both platforms, working with TypeScript and modern JavaScript frameworks.
• Develop and maintain frontend functionality for the E&I data platform, primarily using TypeScript/JavaScript
• Draft up design ideas for the platform in Figma or other design applications
• Translate design and product requirements into clean and responsive interfaces
• Connect frontend components to backend APIs and ensure data is presented clearly and reliably
• Contribute to image annotation work support our ML models
• Collaborate closely with the backend developer in the team, with the option to take on backend tasks as your skills and interest develop

What will your day-to-day look like?

• Being given a meaningful level of responsibility and the opportunity to make a real, lasting impact
• Working with a modern stack and a wide range of digital tools
• Contributing to image annotation work that feeds our machine learning training data, alongside your development tasks.
• Being based in Hempel’s headquarters in Kgs. Lyngby, where the Commercial Data & Software Engineering team sits. Our team is part of the broader Commercial Transformation & Technology department.

What do we look for in you?
We are looking for a student assistant with a genuine passion for working with data, code and digital tools – ideally with strong logical reasoning skills and a curiosity about how systems actually work end-to-end. As a person, you enjoy learning new skills and the process of figuring out how things fit together.

• Demonstrable skills in any programming language, preferably >2 years of experience picked up through education, work, hobbies and/or personal projects, but exceptional candidates from other backgrounds will also be considered
• Demonstrable experience with TypeScript and/or JavaScript, and with at least one modern frontend framework
• A solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and how modern web applications are structured
• An eye for usability and an interest in how design decisions affect the end user
• Nice to have: exposure to Node.js, Python, SQL, and/or having worked with REST APIs
• Curious by nature, and able to combine structured logic with creativity when facing new problems and tasks.
• The ability to work independently, but with a clear sense of your own limits – and not being afraid to ask for clarification or assistance when needed.
• Enrolment in a university or other educational institution related to STEM or programming, preferably with at least 1 years study completed and at least 1 year or more left.
• Fluency in English
