What makes RightShip a great place to work at:
RightShip is an equal opportunity employer, and we champion diversity. Our teams are composed of individuals from different geographies, cultures, religions, ethnicities, races, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, and generations. We believe that a diversity of experiences makes us stronger—as individuals, as communities and as an organization.
Don’t meet every single requirement of this role? Still apply! Research tells us that that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply unless they meet every single requirement. At RightShip we believe that the right hire is someone who makes an addition to our culture, rather than someone who fits in and conforms to our status quo. We want to add team members who not only value RightShip standards and workplace culture, but also bring an aspect of diversity that positively contributes to our work environment. If you are excited about this role, or about our company in general, we would love to hear from you!
RightShip's engineering organisation is at an inflection point. We are moving from a team that uses AI as a productivity aid into one where agentic and autonomous systems do real delivery work, reviewed and directed by engineers who act as orchestrators. This role is the architect and engine of that shift. The Systems Agentic Engineer will build and own the backbone that makes it real: the frameworks, the integrations, the standards, the internal tooling, and the agent catalogue that, together, turn a collection of AI-assisted individuals into a genuinely AI-native engineering organisation. If you want to define what modern engineering looks like at a company committed to being world-class at it, this is that role.
The scope goes beyond individual agents. This role owns the transformation of our full software delivery lifecycle, codifying AI-first practices at every stage from grooming through to release. It also leads the formation of RightShip's Internal Developer Platform (IDP): the shared infrastructure, tooling, and automation pipelines that make every squad faster and more capable. That includes infrastructure operations pipelines that reduce manual toil at the platform level. The person in this role will not just build agents; they will architect the delivery system the whole engineering organisation runs on.

At RightShip we provide expertise in global safety, sustainability and social responsibility best practice to the maritime industry.
Our unrivalled combination of years of seafaring expertise, vast access to data, analytics and an intuitive digital platform means we offer pertinent, balanced insights to our customer across the maritime ecosystem, supporting them on a journey to zero harm.
By this we mean zero harm to ships, to the cargo those ships carry, to the seafarers diligently carrying out their duties on board, and of course, zero harm to the environment the vessels are trading in.
Actively incorporating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) metrics spanning marine emissions and pollution, crew welfare and ship safety into the solutions we offer, are all essential elements of a zero harm vision.
We’re dedicated to supporting our customers to meet government and industry emission reduction targets, decarbonisation and air quality initiatives through our GHG rating, Carbon Accounting tool and Maritime Emissions Portal.
Our Safety Score, vettings and inspections services highlight the importance of good safety practices on board and support the industry in striving for excellence.
Finally, our Crew Welfare Self-Assessment demonstrates the ambition that weaves through everything we do - that each seafarer should return home safely from their voyage, thanks to well-managed working environments supporting the health and wellbeing of every crew member.
At RightShip, we’ve seen an increasing demand for transparency and verifiable data. Our insights, and the truth they provide are collated and measured by our experts. Vitally, this means that those results can also be managed, allowing the maritime industry certainty that it’s making progress towards a safe, sustainable and socially conscious future.
