Junior Software Engineer

About the role

You will start your software career on a team that ships to production every week, learning professional engineering from people who do it well. Junior engineers here do real work from the first month: bug fixes, small features, test coverage, and tooling improvements, all with close mentorship and careful review. You will be expected to ask questions constantly, read a lot of code, and develop the habits that separate professionals from students: testing your work, writing clearly, and owning your mistakes. Engineers who learn fast, communicate honestly, and care about craft advance quickly here.

What you will achieve

• Ship your first production features within the first two months, progressing from well-scoped bug fixes to independently owned small features
• Build strong fundamentals fast: clean code, thoughtful tests, careful debugging, and pull requests reviewers trust with minimal corrections
• Contribute meaningfully to team velocity through documentation improvements, test coverage additions, and developer tooling fixes
• Develop production awareness by participating in on-call shadows, reading incident postmortems, and understanding how your code behaves live
• Earn increasing scope by demonstrating reliability: hitting commitments, asking for help early, and following through completely

What you will bring

Must-haves

• 0 to 2 years of experience; strong internships, co-ops, bootcamp projects, or personal projects with real shipped code all count
• Solid programming fundamentals: comfort with at least one language, basic data structures, and the ability to read unfamiliar code
• Understanding of Git workflows: branching, pull requests, merge conflict resolution, and clear commit messages
• Basic SQL knowledge: writing queries, understanding joins, and designing simple schemas
• Genuine enthusiasm for software engineering shown through projects, contributions, or deep curiosity about how systems work
• Strong communication: asking clear questions, writing readable code comments, and giving honest status updates
• BS in Computer Science or equivalent training; self-taught engineers with strong portfolios are welcome

Nice-to-haves

• Personal projects deployed to production: web apps, bots, tools, or games with real users
• Familiarity with a modern web framework such as React, Django, or Express
• Experience with testing frameworks and the habit of writing tests for your own code
• Contributions to open-source projects, even small documentation or bug-fix contributions
