AI-Native Junior Software Engineer (Flutter)

Sandisk; Milpitas (CA); On-site; USD 75,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Sandisk is hiring an AI-native junior developer to join the consumer Flutter team and help ship features while learning from senior engineers. You don’t need Dart yet; you should learn fast, ship carefully, and use AI tools the way a senior uses their IDE.

New college grads are welcome and will be paired with experienced Flutter developers. You’ll focus on learning Flutter, building with AI-assisted workflows, and contributing to code reviews, testing, and documentation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Math, Computer Science, Physics or related degree.
• Evidence you are AI-native: side projects, shipped work, or workflows that clearly show AI tools are how you build, not a novelty you've tried.
• Healthy skepticism of AI output: you verify, test, and read code before trusting it, and you know when the model is bluffing.
• A clear, considered point of view on where AI-assisted development is going and why, and the ability to defend it in conversation.
• Solid programming fundamentals in at least one modern language. You can read code, reason about it, and debug without leaning on a model - Hunger to learn Flutter quickly.
• Comfort working async in a distributed team: strong written English, clear PR descriptions, and thoughtful commit messages.
• Self-direction. You can take a fuzzy task, sharpen it with AI tools, ask the right clarifying questions, and ship.

Responsibilities

• Ship features and bug fixes in the Sandisk consumer Flutter app, with senior engineers reviewing your work.
• Use AI coding agents as a daily driver: exploration, scaffolding, refactoring, test generation, and learning the codebase.
• Write clear specs and prompts. Treat prompt engineering as a real engineering skill, not a party trick - Verify what AI tools produce. Read the diff, run the tests, and understand every line you commit before it goes up for review
• Ramp on Flutter, Dart, and the team’s architecture quickly, with senior support and AI-assisted learning - Share what you learn by bringing new AI workflows, MCP servers, custom agents, and tooling tricks back to the team
• Take ownership of the boring-but-important work that AI tools make tractable for a junior: test coverage, refactors, documentation, and dependency hygiene
