Job Description

This is a remote position.

Only LATAM-based candidates (bilingual in Spanish and English)

We’re looking for a Junior Software Developer to join the engineering team supporting a web and mobile platform used in the daily operations of a U.S.-based materials company.

This opportunity is suited to a recent graduate or early-career developer with solid programming fundamentals, hands‑on project experience, and an interest in modern web, mobile, and cloud technologies.

Extensive professional experience is not required. We welcome candidates who can demonstrate their skills through university projects, internships, personal applications, or open‑source contributions.

You’ll work alongside experienced developers, contribute to an existing production application, and take on greater responsibility as you build your knowledge of the platform.

What you’ll do

Develop and maintain assigned features across web, backend, and mobile applications with guidance from experienced developers.

Help build, consume, and integrate REST APIs.

Work with PostgreSQL databases and write queries to support application features.

Investigate bugs, review logs and error messages, reproduce issues, and test fixes.

Write and maintain automated tests.

Use Git and GitHub for branches, issues, pull requests, and code reviews.

Clarify business requirements and translate them into technical tasks with the team.

Document changes, setup instructions, and troubleshooting steps.

Communicate progress, questions, and blockers clearly in English.

Build independence on assigned tasks while recognizing when to ask for support.

Help prioritize production issues that affect users and daily operations.

Self-Management

• Independently manage workload in a 100% remote environment .
• Consistently meet established deadlines and provide regular progress updates.
• Demonstrate ownership of assigned tasks and proactively track requests through GitHub or other project management tools.
  

What we’re looking for

A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent technical training.

Solid understanding of programming fundamentals, object-oriented programming, data structures, and relational databases.

Hands-on project or internship experience with Java/Spring Boot and React .

Familiarity with PostgreSQL , including basic queries and relational data modeling.

Ability to develop or consume REST APIs .

Working knowledge of Git/GitHub , including branching and pull requests.

Basic understanding of debugging, error handling, and automated testing.

Willingness to learn, apply feedback, investigate problems, and follow through on assigned tasks.

Additional relevant knowledge

Exposure through coursework, projects, or internships to the following is valuable:

Kotlin

AWS and cloud-based applications

CI/CD , particularly GitHub Actions

Requirements analysis and technical documentation

You do not need production-level expertise in every technology. You should be able to explain what you have built, which parts you implemented yourself, and how you tested or debugged your work.

Our technology environment

Frontend: React, TypeScript, Vite, Tailwind CSS

Backend: Java, Spring Boot, Spring Security / Spring Cloud

Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, Linux, GitHub Actions

Testing and tools: JUnit, Jest, Vitest, Cypress, Postman, Git/GitHub

Growth in the role

You’ll begin with defined tasks and technical guidance. As you demonstrate reliable delivery, sound technical judgment, and a deeper understanding of Haul Tech, you’ll have the opportunity to take ownership of more complex work and grow toward senior-level responsibilities.

• Flexible remote work environment.
  
• Opportunities for professional growth and learning.
  
• Work on challenging and innovative projects.
