Deep Marine Mind is an all-in-one maritime career platform designed for seafarers and maritime professionals. The product combines job discovery, career management, AI-powered guidance, and direct employer connections into a single, easy-to-use experience across web and mobile.
Problem
Existing maritime job portals lack personalised matching, structured career tracking, and real-time engagement. Users struggle to manage profiles, track applications, and connect with verified shipping companies efficiently.
Goal
Design a unified career platform that enables maritime professionals to discover relevant jobs, manage profiles and sea time, receive AI-driven guidance, and track applications seamlessly across devices.
Process
The platform was designed as a unified ecosystem spanning web and mobile applications. Core workflows include profile creation, job discovery, application tracking, AI-powered guidance, and employer connections. Design consistency was maintained across platforms to support seamless transitions between devices.
Research & Insights
Research focused on understanding the career journeys of seafarers, including job search behaviour, documentation management, and communication with shipping companies. Insights highlighted the need for personalised job matching, simple profile creation, and real-time updates accessible even during limited connectivity.
Wireframes & Iterations
Wireframes explored streamlined job discovery flows with advanced filters and AI-assisted recommendations. Iterations focused on reducing friction during CV upload, sea-time tracking, and application submission.
Mobile-first iterations prioritised clarity, large touch targets, and quick access to critical actions such as job alerts, application status, and AI assistance through Sea Buddy.
Designing for maritime careers required balancing professional complexity with ease of use. Users needed to manage detailed credentials and sea-time records without overwhelming interfaces.
Another challenge was integrating AI-driven guidance and real-time alerts in a way that felt supportive rather than intrusive, while ensuring trust and clarity in employer connections and job recommendations.

Deep Marine Mind delivers a cohesive career experience for maritime professionals by centralising job discovery, career management, and AI-driven support into a single platform, improving engagement and confidence throughout the job search journey.
