Do what you are passionate about.

At Ship Monitor by JDS you can turn your passion into impact. We believe that when people love what they do, great things happen – for our team, our customers, and the future we create together.

How we work

Interdisciplinary by Design, Team-Oriented by Choice.

At JDS, we don’t believe in silos.

Our work is a bridge between high-level research and industrial application, which requires us to think beyond single disciplines. We tackle complex maritime data challenges by combining expertise in mathematics, informatics, and nautical engineering. To us, being team-oriented means solving problems collectively, communicating on equal footing, and supporting one another with a solution-focused mindset.

A Sneak Peek: Our Global DNA

The sea knows no borders, and neither do we. Our team is as diverse as the global ship traffic we monitor. We are a multicultural community that thrives on different perspectives - bringing together various nationalities and backgrounds under one roof.

Connecting Cords

What we value most...

For us, attitude matters. Our values are more than just words – they form the foundation of our daily actions. They guide how we work together, make decisions, and shape the future – pragmatically, reliably, and fairly.

Employee Focus

Our people are at the heart of everything we do.
We create an environment built on open communication, fairness, and trust. Everyone should have the opportunity to grow personally and professionally – through targeted development, continuous learning, and true team spirit. Because success begins with people.

Foresight

We think about tomorrow, today.

Our decisions are made with a long-term and sustainable perspective. We act with responsibility and vision to create lasting value – for our company, our customers, and our environment.

Innovation

New ideas drive our progress.

We encourage creativity, courage, and openness to explore new paths. For us, innovation means finding practical, efficient, and forward-looking solutions – not to be different, but to be better.

Quality & Efficiency

We deliver on our promises – in the best possible way.

Our goal is excellence in everything we do. At the same time, we focus on efficient workflows and meaningful processes to use resources wisely and create reliability you can count on.

Economic Responsibility

Sustainable success through smart decisions.

We act with economic responsibility and foresight. For us, economic efficiency means ensuring steady and stable growth – with prudence, accountability, and a clear focus on long-term competitiveness.

Perks & Benefits

No empty buzzwords, just solid foundations: We provide the stability, flexibility, and mutual respect you need to do your best work.

Planning Certainty for Your Future

We don’t just care about the here and now. To ensure you feel as secure in your future as our clients do with our data, we offer a company pension scheme (bAV). It is our way of providing the "bedrock" for your long-term financial stability.

Hybrid Work

We live a culture of independence. You have the flexibility to balance office collaboration with focused remote work. For us, hybrid working isn't a "fancy" buzzword, but a pragmatic solution to make your daily life more efficient and less stressful.

Family & Work

Life doesn't always follow a 9-to-5 rhythm, and we respect that. We offer flexible part-time models and family-friendly structures. We treat our team members as equal partners and ensure that your career fits your life.

Growing Together

We are more than just a data company; we are a community that values “humanity” and “give and take.” From casual get-togethers to team events, our social gatherings are designed to create a space where everyone feels heard and valued.
