Junior Software Engineer, Full-Stack

Role Overview

Junior Software Engineer (Full-Stack) is an entry-level position for recent graduates starting their professional engineering careers. You’ll work on well-scoped tasks across the web stack—front end in Angular/TypeScript and back end in PHP (Symfony) and Go—under the guidance of senior engineers.

Responsibilities

• Implement front-end features and UI changes in Angular (TypeScript, SCSS) on well-scoped tasks
• Build back-end endpoints and changes using MySQL, PHP (Symfony + Doctrine ORM), and increasingly Go as services expand
• Investigate and fix bugs across the stack (reproduce, identify root cause with help, and ship fixes)
• Write and maintain unit tests for the code you deliver
• Participate in code reviews as both author and reviewer
• Collaborate with designers, product managers, and senior engineers to translate requirements into shipped changes
• Maintain documentation (READMEs, code comments, onboarding notes) for areas you work on
• Use AI-assisted development tools to support learning and productivity while being able to explain and defend your code
• Grow into larger, more independent scopes over time with pairing and code walkthroughs

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in CS/Software Engineering or related (recently completed or completing within 6 months) or equivalent preparation (e.g., bootcamp + substantial portfolio)
• Solid programming fundamentals (data structures, control flow, basic algorithms, OOP)
• Hands-on coding experience via coursework, projects, internships, or open-source
• Familiarity with HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript to build simple interactive web pages
• Familiarity with Git and pull-request-based workflows
• Basic familiarity with relational databases and SQL (SELECT, JOIN, simple WHERE)
• Eagerness to learn, openness to feedback, and strong communication skills in English

Nice-to-Haves

• Coursework/internship/side-project exposure to the specific stack (not fully included in the provided text).
