The Role:

As an Intermediate Software Developer at ThoughtExchange, you'll own the delivery of features and small-to-medium projects from start to finish.

• Experience working within a modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem - frameworks, build tools, package managers, and debugging workflows
• Hands-on experience writing and maintaining automated tests

• Strong collaboration skills - you work well independently and as part of a cross-functional team
• Clear written and verbal communication skills

Nice to Have:

• Exposure to Flutter or similar cross-platform mobile frameworks
• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure concepts, preferably Azure
• Comfort navigating and debugging unfamiliar areas of a production codebase
• A growth mindset, a sense of ownership, and a willingness to mentor others
