A day in the life:

As a Junior Software Engineer, you'll build and maintain features across our AI-centric web applications - turning designs into working UI, wiring up API integrations, and keeping the codebase clean and well-tested.

You'll work closely with senior engineers who review your code, help unblock you when you're stuck, and push you to level up fast. Expect a mix of hands-on and AI-assisted coding, debugging, and daily collaboration through stand-ups and code reviews, with English as your everyday working language across a global, cross-timezone team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain web application features across the frontend and backend, writing clean, well-documented code and implementing user interfaces to design spec
• Work on REST and GraphQL API integrations and databases to support application features
• Debug and resolve technical issues across the frontend and backend, and write unit and integration tests to keep releases reliable
• Follow security best practices and internal development standards, including git workflow, in everything you ship
• Participate in code reviews and team stand-ups, and keep your lead updated on task status and any blockers
• Employ AI technologies to enhance and optimize business processes
• Utilize and leverage Power Digital's Nova ecosystem as it relates to your department; other applicable or related duties as assigned

Role Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Working knowledge of at least one modern web framework, with comfort writing JavaScript/TypeScript or an equivalent language for the team's stack
• Basic understanding of REST/GraphQL APIs and relational databases
• Familiarity with Git and standard version control workflows
• Strong written and verbal English skills for daily use - documentation, code comments, and communication with global teams and clients
• Comfort giving and receiving feedback in code review, and asking for help when blocked
• Eagerness to learn, take direction, and grow technical skills quickly

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• 80%+ of assigned sprint tickets completed on time each cycle
• Pull requests pass code review with 2 or fewer rounds of revision on average
• Zero critical bugs shipped to production per release

• Code review comments and stand-up follow-ups addressed within 1 business day

Most Important Things (MITs)

• Shipping clean, tested, well-documented code on the tasks you're assigned
• Growing your technical skills fast - asking questions, taking feedback, and applying it
• Being a reliable teammate: showing up to stand-ups, flagging blockers early, and meeting commitments
• Following team standards - git workflow, security practices, and code review process - without being reminded
• Using AI tools to work faster and smarter, not just to get by
