Junior Software Developer — Remote

Were hiring a Junior Software Developer to join a small fast-moving engineering team building a consumer-facing web application.

Summary

• Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience.
• Flexible Time: Can do full-time part-time side-gig (off-hours) or fractional (contract).
• Flexible Commitment: Can do short-term long-term or intermittent.
• No degree required. Bootcamp grads self-taught developers and career changers welcome.

Why so flexible Were a FUNDED startup racing to launch end of Q3 2026. That gives us just 3 months to stack features while raising additional working capital. Feel free to jump in help us ship then bounce >> or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. Were also interested in long-term side gig relationships if thats what youre intoin our experience a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours.

About Us

Were a credible funded remote-first startup backed by a growing team. Were pre-launch and moving fast.

About The Role

We have a working product and a real engineering team you wont be building alone or guessing what to work on. What we need is another pair of hands who can pick up well-scoped tickets ship clean code and grow fast in a codebase thats already structured and documented.

This is a real opportunity to learn from senior engineers in a production environment not a junior developer role where youre actually alone building the whole thing. Youll work on features that real users interact with get code reviews that teach you something and have direct access to senior engineers.

Compensation

Up to $95000 max total annual compensation in Tier 1 cities; cash and equity components to be negotiated. Given the flexible commitment model comp will be structured accordingly fractional or hourly arrangements welcome.

What Youll Do in Your First 7 Days

• Youve gotten your local development environment running and submitted your first PR
• Youve reviewed the codebase structure and understand where things live
• Youve attended your first engineering standup and know how the team communicates
• Youve picked up a starter ticket and shipped (or nearly shipped) a small feature or fix
• The team knows who you are why youre here and how youll work together

What Youll Do Ongoing

• Build features pick up tickets implement them get them reviewed ship them
• Fix bugs investigate issues trace them through the stack and resolve them
• Write tests maintain and extend test coverage as you go
• Participate in code reviews review others code and learn from reviews of yours
• Improve as an engineer ask questions pair when stuck and level up through real production work

What Were Looking For

Must-haves:

• Solid fundamentals in a modern frontend framework (React Vue Angular) and a backend language (Python Ruby Node well teach you whichever youre missing)
• Can read and navigate an existing codebase you dont need everything explained line by line
• Understand the basics: version control (Git) REST APIs relational databases
• Self-directed learner you Google before you ask but you ask before youre stuck for hours
• Strong async communicator you write clear PR descriptions and flag blockers early

Nice-to-have:

• Previous contributions to open source or side projects you can show
• Bootcamp CS degree or self-taught we care about what you can do not how you learned it
• Comfortable in fast-moving ambiguous environments

What Youre NOT

• Not a solo developer youll have senior engineers to learn from and a structured codebase to work in
• Not a DevOps / infra hire we have that covered; youre building product features
• Not expected to be an expert were hiring for trajectory not years of experience
