What you'll do:

• Write clean, correct code for well-defined tasks, following team patterns and best practices under the guidance of senior engineers

• Participate actively in code reviews, incorporating feedback on your own work (including AI-originated code) to continuously improve your skills
• Learn the team's systems, tools, and infrastructure while gaining a solid understanding of the retail business function your team supports
• Participate in the team's production support rotation with guidance, triaging and resolving straightforward defects using logs, dashboards, and runbooks, and escalating promptly when issues exceed your scope
• Ask thoughtful questions, identify and close knowledge gaps, and demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning and professional development
• Collaborate with team members to deliver features and fixes on schedule while maintaining code quality standards

What they're looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; a completed coding bootcamp; or equivalent practical experience
• Strong fundamentals in at least one modern programming language (Golang, Python, C#, PHP, JavaScript, or similar)
• Familiarity with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent) and willingness to build proficiency quickly
• Ability to read, understand, and verify AI-generated code before committing it, including recognizing common failure modes such as hallucinated APIs, subtle logic errors, and security issues
• Willingness to ask questions, receive feedback constructively, and learn from more experienced engineers
• Basic understanding of the retail business domain and genuine interest in learning who uses the systems you work on and why
• Solid communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
• 1-3 years of professional software development experience
• We are looking for candidates who are hungry for the next challenge, exhibit strong interpersonal communication skills, and take personal ownership of their projects
