As an Intermediate Engineer at Achievers, you bring an AI-first mindset and use modern AI tools to improve productivity and development workflows. You build accessible, reliable, and maintainable software, contribute to technical discussions, and collaborate closely with engineers, designers, and product partners. You take ownership of your work, write quality code, and continue growing through feedback, experimentation, and learning.

Why you'll love this role:

• This is a frontend role - a great opportunity to deepen your knowledge and grow your skills with various tools.
• Report to an experienced Engineering leader who can offer you mentorship, autonomy, ownership, and a genuine investment in your growth toward the next senior level in your career.
• Work on complex, challenging projects - apply your expertise to shape architecture, influence technical direction, and mentor fellow team members.
• Join a close-knit, high-performing team that solves meaningful problems and celebrates successes together.
• Work alongside an experienced leadership team who is genuinely invested in your career growth.
• Thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where innovation is encouraged and your voice truly matters.

How you'll help shape Data Intelligence Engineering at Achievers:

• Contribute to Engineering Excellence: Participate actively in the GitHub development workflow by creating well-structured pull requests, reviewing teammates’ code, addressing feedback, and contributing to improvements in code quality, testing, and development practices.
• Develop Across a Modern Tech Stack: Build front-end applications primarily using React and work with services and APIs across a broader ecosystem that includes Python, Go, GraphQL, Kubernetes, Docker, Google Pub/Sub, and GCP.
• Collaborate and Grow: Work closely with senior engineers, product managers, designers, and other team members to deliver features from development through production while continuing to strengthen your front-end engineering and system design skills.

Experience we feel will set you up for success:

• Experience: 3+ years of relevant software engineering experience building and delivering modern web applications in a collaborative development environment.
• Strong Front-End Foundation: Solid experience with React, modern JavaScript/TypeScript, and common state management approaches. Exposure to MicroFrontend architectures or reusable component libraries is a plus.
• AI-Enabled Development: Comfortable using AI development tools, such as Claude and GCP Gemini Code Assist, to support coding, troubleshooting, documentation, testing, and day-to-day development workflows. You are interested in continuing to develop effective AI-assisted engineering practices.
• Accessibility Awareness: Good understanding of web accessibility principles and WCAG guidelines, with a commitment to building accessible and inclusive user experiences.
• Quality Focused: Experience writing unit tests and working with modern UI and E2E testing frameworks. Familiarity with TDD and an interest in contributing to strong testing practices.
• Growth Mindset: Strong front-end programming skills with an interest in learning and working with other technologies in our stack, including Python and Go, when needed.
• Collaborative Communicator: Strong written and verbal communication skills. You can communicate technical concepts clearly, contribute to technical discussions, and work effectively with engineers, designers, product managers, and other team members.
