Overview
This is a full-time, remote new-grad role for software engineers who want to dive into building real, customer-facing product features from day one. You'll work on improving Zara, an AI-powered recruiter, and gradually take full ownership of core parts of the system—all while receiving mentorship from senior engineers. The environment is fast-paced and focused on shipping quality code, so you'll be encouraged to make smart speed-versus-quality tradeoffs as you grow.
What You'll Do7
- Design and build full-stack features that power essential product workflows, from backend logic to user interface.
- Develop clean, maintainable backend services and APIs using Node.js and TypeScript, with close guidance from senior engineers.
- Create and ship frontend components directly to real users, using React and modern UI practices.
- Contribute to data modeling decisions and learn how to keep the database performant and scalable as the product grows.
- Partner with product managers and designers to turn concepts into working features you'll own and iterate on.
- Participate in code reviews, write tests, and help improve engineering quality across the team.
- Debug production issues and learn what it takes to keep a live, reliable system running smoothly.
Requirements6
- A recent or upcoming degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.
- Hands-on coding experience from internships, academic projects, or personal work—especially with JavaScript or TypeScript.
- Familiarity with React (or a similar frontend framework) and Node.js for backend development.
- Working knowledge of relational databases such as PostgreSQL, plus an understanding of basic data modeling concepts.
- A solid grasp of how APIs work and how different applications communicate over the web.
- Strong curiosity, a drive to learn fast, and a disciplined attention to detail.
Who Should Apply
You're a recent CS/CE grad who's already comfortable building with modern JavaScript and wants to hit the ground running on a real product. You're eager to learn full-stack development end-to-end, and you're not afraid to ask questions or take ownership of features. You thrive in a remote, fast-paced environment where you'll get direct mentorship but also be expected to ship, debug, and improve code independently. Bonus points if you've dabbled in cloud services, CI/CD pipelines, or AI-driven applications.
