Jr. Software Developer

Junior Software Developer (Systems Logic). The Mission: We're not just looking for someone to move tickets across a board; we are looking for a curious mind to join our engineering core. As a Junior Developer, your primary job is to learn, solve, and-most importantly-communicate. You will be responsible for translating complex requirements into clean code and explaining your logic every step of the way.

Core Competencies

• Clarity of Thought Articulation: The Ability to Deconstruct: You can take a 'big' problem and break it down into tiny, manageable tasks without getting overwhelmed. The Rubber Duck Factor: You can explain a technical concept or a bug to a non-technical stakeholder without using jargon as a crutch. Documentation Mindset: You believe that code is read more often than it is written. Your comments and documentation are clear, concise, and intentional.
• Problem-Solving Prowess: First-Principles Thinking: When something breaks, you don't just Google and paste. You seek to understand the underlying cause. Pattern Recognition: You have a knack for spotting repetitions and thinking about how to make a process more efficient or automated. Persistence: You view a 404 or a logic error as a puzzle to be solved, not a wall to stop at.
• Personality: Positive Progressive: Growth Mindset: You are progressive in your learning-constantly looking for better ways to do things and staying updated on industry shifts. The Yes, And Attitude: You approach peer reviews and feedback with curiosity rather than defensiveness. Self-Starter Energy: You don't wait for a manual; you go find the documentation, run the tests, and come back with a solution (or at least a well-researched question).

Technical Requirements

• Foundational Coding: Proficiency in at least one modern language (e.g., Java, JavaScript, Python, or C#).
• Web Fundamentals: Solid understanding of how the web works (HTML/CSS, REST APIs, and basic Database queries).
• Version Control: Comfortable with Git (branching, merging, and PR etiquette).
• Logical Testing: Ability to write basic unit tests and an understanding of why they are necessary.

Evaluation Guide

• Criteria: Look for...
• Red Flags: Clarity: Can they explain a project they worked on in under 2 minutes; Gets lost in the weeds; uses we too much instead of I.
• Articulation: Do they use analogies to explain complex logic; Struggles to explain their own code during a live review.
• Problem Solving: When stuck on a coding challenge, do they talk through their logic; Sits in silence; gives up quickly if the first solution fails.
• Progressive Mindset: What is the last thing they learned outside of school/work; Hasn't explored any new tools or methods in the last 6 months.
• Positivity: How do they describe a past failure or a difficult teammate; Blames others; exhibits a not my job attitude.
