About client:
A Data & AI company that builds, automates, and launches digital products—helping businesses optimize operations and rapidly turn ideas into production-ready solutions.
Role Overview
This is not a traditional junior engineering role.
In our company, AI handles much of the code generation. The real value comes from engineering thinking—understanding systems, debugging effectively, and making sound architectural decisions.
From your first weeks, you will:
- Work on real products
- Ship production code
- Learn through a structured internal program (
We're looking for someone who thinks like an engineer—not someone who just follows tutorials.
Key Responsibilities
1. AI-Driven Development (60%)
- Build features and full product modules using AI-assisted workflows
- Work within a documentation-first system for clear requirements
- Review, refine, and ensure quality of AI-generated code
- Deploy features to production early and frequently
- Debug and improve existing systems
- Follow established architecture and coding standards
2. Learning & Growth (25%)
- Progress through the structured curriculum
- Develop strong fundamentals in software architecture and system design
- Participate in code reviews (giving and receiving feedback)
- Build full-stack understanding (frontend, backend, databases, APIs)
- Learn best practices in clean code, testing, and debugging
3. Client & Product Delivery (15%)
- Contribute to client projects (dashboards, APIs, integrations)
- Participate in sprint planning and team standups
- Collaborate with design and BI teams
- Document work clearly and effectively
Requirements
Must Have
- Strong understanding of computer science fundamentals (DSA, OOP)
- Basic knowledge of web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
- Experience with Git (branching, merging, conflict resolution)
- Ability to read, understand, and debug code
- Strong English communication skills
- Demonstrated curiosity and willingness to learn
Nice to Have
- Experience with React or Next.js
- Familiarity with TypeScript
- Basic knowledge of databases / SQL
- Experience with AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor)
- Personal projects, portfolio, or open-source contributions
- Understanding of REST APIs
Mindset We Value
- Principled Thinking: Focus on why, not just how
- Curiosity: Desire to deeply understand systems
- Quality Focus: High standards for clean, reliable code
- AI-Native Approach: Using AI as a multiplier, not a shortcut
- Ownership: Taking responsibility and initiative
