Junior Software Engineer at Renterra in Chicago, IL

Renterra is a Series A–backed SaaS company modernizing the $100B+ heavy equipment rental industry. We’ve built an end-to-end platform that helps rental businesses run smarter — spanning operations, payments, marketing, and accounting integrations and so much more.

This is a hybrid role based in Chicago, with regular in-office collaboration and flexibility for focused remote work.

How we work:

We value velocity and efficiency through fast iteration cycles. Our lean team doesn’t sit on ceremony – build times, deployments, and meetings are all streamlined so we can deliver the most effective solutions to our customers.

What you’ll do:

• Design, Build and Innovate: Lead and contribute to greenfield projects, develop new features and products from scratch.
• Collaborate Closely: Engineering is a team effort; we produce our best work together. Work closely with our product and support teams to ensure we are solving the right problems
• Customer-Centric Development: Have high empathy for our users, consistently seek feedback and iterate on our products to improve their experience. (We go on-site on with customers to see our software in use first-hand)
• Business-Minded Decision Making: Make daily decisions on when we should invest in more sound architecture, leverage vendors and integrations or cut corners and scope to deliver functionality to our customers.
• Optimize and Deliver: Participate in a lean and fast-moving development process that is consistently iterated and improved upon.

What we’re looking for:

• You’re AI-forward - you actively use AI tools to accelerate development, and you’re excited to integrate AI into product experiences when it meaningfully improves outcomes.
• You love building - and you’re energized by shipping real product into the hands of real customers.
• You’re fluent in TypeScript and modern web engineering - comfortable with our core technologies (see below) and excited to push the boundaries of what great product experiences can be.
• You bring curiosity and energy every day - eager to ship, get feedback, and level up quickly as you grow with the team.
