About Arkitech

Arkitech is a young, impact-driven tech start-up based in Amsterdam, dedicated to helping ship owners decarbonize their fleets and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our AI and data-driven platform optimizes onboard climate systems - the ship's 2nd largest energy consumer - to improve energy efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and lower environmental impact.

We’re not just building software - we’re building real-world solutions. That means we’re involved from algorithm design all the way to testing and implementation onboard ships.

If you are passionate about sustainability, innovation, and working on global-scale projects, Arkitech is the place for you. Be part of a collaborative and fast-paced team driving meaningful change in the maritime industry.

While your main focus will be on back end development, we are always excited if you bring a bit of frontend flair to the table. Think dashboards, interfaces and data visualizations. These are all areas we will be exploring more as our platform continues to grow.

If you have experience with frameworks like React, Angular or Vue, or if you have created a sleek Power BI dashboard or two - that is a big plus. Not a requirement, but definitely a nice addition. We really value team members who enjoy connecting the logic behind the scenes with the experience on the screen.
