You ask why, challenge assumptions, and love to automate messy problems. Nice-to-Have * SQL / NoSQL databases * Containerization (Docker) or serverless platforms * Python or Bash scripting * Interest in e-commerce or logistics tech ## Description We're hiring an AI-native Junior Software Engineer to build software with AI across two fronts: internal tools that make our team faster, and customer-facing product. This is not a pure internal-automation role. You'll automate the messy work that slows engineering and the business down, and you'll also ship product features and agents that customers use. We want the balance of both. You already build with AI. You reach for coding agents and LLMs the way other engineers reach for a framework, and you have a track record of shipping real things with them, not just experimenting. AI does the heavy lifting on the platform layer; your job is to point it at the right problems and ship. Interview note: part of the process is a live working session. You'll screen share and build with the AI tool of your choice, then we'll program together. We can provide an Anthropic API key for the interview (Claude Code, Cursor, or others) if you'd rather not use your own. What You'll Do * Build software with AI across two fronts: internal tools that make the team faster, and customer-facing product features and agents. * Design, build, and maintain automations, lightweight APIs, CLI tools, and web utilities in JavaScript / TypeScript. * Build and integrate agents and AI-powered features into real workflows and the product, using Claude, Claude Code, and other LLM APIs. * Implement and manage MCP / API integrations between internal systems and external services (GitHub, Jira, HubSpot, NetSuite, or internal APIs). * Partner with product and platform engineering to turn messy problems into shipped software. * Troubleshoot integration and system issues across environments; write clear docs and onboard teammates to what you build. * Take part in design reviews, stand-ups, and sprint planning; contribute to testing for tools, APIs, and product. What You'll Learn Hands-on experience with: * Node.js / TypeScript for automation, APIs, product features, and developer tooling * REST / GraphQL APIs for integration and data sync * Building with AI: Claude, Claude Code, Codex and other LLM-based systems and agents * Infrastructure scripting and configuration (AWS, Terraform, Docker) * Authentication and authorization flows (OAuth2, API keys, JWT) * CI/CD automation (GitHub Actions or similar) * Cloud deployments (AWS Lambda, ECS, or similar containerized services) * Observability and monitoring (CloudWatch, Datadog, Grafana) * Secure, SOC 2-aligned development practices ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE – AI, Freelancing, Keeping Up with Tech and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1786-wearedevelopers-live-ai-freelancing-keeping-up-with-tech-and-more) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [Dev Digest 131 - AI'm not sure about OSS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/472-dev-digest-131-ai-m-not-sure-about-oss)
