Job Level
About the role
- Write and maintain quality software
- Implement well-structured, maintainable client-side code under the guidance of more senior engineers.
- Build features and fix bugs in front-end applications using TypeScript (EmberJS, React) and other front-end technologies.
- Learn and apply basic mobile development concepts (React Native, iOS, Android) as needed for your team’s work.
- Participate actively in code reviews:
- Incorporate feedback into your own work.
- Ask clarifying questions to deepen your understanding of best practices.
- Document your work clearly (comments, simple API docs, and basic wiki pages) so others can understand how your code works and how to use it.
- Follow established architectural patterns and guidelines when implementing features, asking for help when requirements or designs are unclear.
- Use existing client-side component libraries and patterns, and help identify opportunities to reuse rather than rewrite components.
- Seek mentorship from more experienced engineers, being open to feedback and coaching.
- Ask questions early and often to unblock yourself and ensure you’re building the right thing.
- Share what you learn with teammates (for example, via small demos, documentation updates, or answering questions from peers at a similar level).
- Provide honest estimates for your own tasks and update your team when estimates need to change.
- Break down your work into manageable steps with help from more senior engineers when needed.
- Write tests and follow team quality practices (linting, code style, basic automated testing) to keep defects low.
- Balance the desire to move quickly with the need to produce reliable, maintainable code, deferring to senior guidance when tradeoffs are unclear.
- Bring forward ideas for small improvements to the user experience, performance, or developer workflow.
- Take initiative in small ways—such as cleaning up code you touch, improving comments, or updating a wiki page—without waiting to be asked.
Requirements
- 0–2 years of professional software development experience (including internships, apprenticeships, or significant project work)
- Foundational knowledge of JavaScript (and/or TypeScript), along with basic proficiency in HTML and CSS
- Familiarity with at least one modern JavaScript framework or library (React, Ember, Angular, Vue, etc.) through coursework, personal projects, or work experience
- Exposure to front-end tooling such as SASS/SCSS/LESS, Babel, or build tools (Webpack, Vite, etc.)
- Basic understanding of core software development principles such as DRY, separation of concerns, modularity, and an interest in learning patterns like BEM and SOLID
- Exposure to building responsive web interfaces and a desire to grow in UX/UI best practices
- Interest in or exposure to mobile development (React Native, iOS, Android) and willingness to learn client-side development across web and mobile
- Familiarity with version control (Git preferred), including branching, committing, and collaborating via pull requests
- Some exposure to Agile or iterative development processes (scrum, kanban) through work, school, or personal projects
- Demonstrated ability to learn new technologies quickly, follow existing patterns, and implement features with guidance from more senior engineers
- Strong communication skills: able to ask clarifying questions, give status updates, and accept feedback on code and design decisions
- Shows reliability, humility, and initiative: willing to learn, willing to help, and able to make steady progress with clear direction
