Role purpose

The Junior Software Engineer is an early-career role focused on learning, contribution, and steady growth.

This role exists to develop capable, confident engineers by providing structured support, clear expectations, and exposure to real production work. Junior engineers contribute to the codebase while learning good engineering practices, working closely with more experienced engineers.

Learning and development

• Develop good habits around testing, documentation, and version control

 

Collaboration

• Work closely with teammates and QA to understand quality expectations
• Communicate progress and blockers clearly
• Participate in team meetings and retrospectives
