Junior Software Engineer

Company Description SmartSource Electronics is Canada’s leading destination for refurbished technology, including phones, tablets, MacBooks, and gaming consoles that are carefully tested, graded, and prepared for reuse. The company focuses on extending the life of quality devices, keeping them in circulation and out of landfills. By prioritizing refurbished tech, SmartSource promotes more sustainable consumer choices and reduces electronic waste. Team members contribute to offering high-value devices at prices that challenge the appeal of buying new, supporting customers who want to “buy smart” and “sell smart.”

Role Description The Junior Software Engineer is a full-time hybrid role based in Mississauga, ON, with flexibility for some work from home. This role involves assisting in the design, development, and maintenance of software solutions that support SmartSource’s e-commerce platform and internal systems. Day-to-day tasks include implementing back-end features, fixing bugs, writing clean and efficient code, and collaborating with senior engineers to review code and improve system performance. The Junior Software Engineer will participate in requirements gathering, documentation, testing, and deployment activities, while working closely with cross-functional teams such as product, operations, and customer support to ensure reliable, scalable tools that support the refurbished tech lifecycle.
