Junior Software Engineer — Remote & Flexible Hours

ListLab; South Laguna (CA); Remote; USD 57,000 - 95,000; Full time

Job summary

ListLab is building a consumer-facing web application with a small, fast-moving engineering team. We're hiring a Junior Software Developer who can jump into well-scoped tickets, ship clean code, and grow fast in a structured codebase.

This role offers flexibility in title, time, and commitment, with no degree required and welcoming bootcamp grads, self-taught developers, and career changers. Compensation up to $95,000 plus equity in a remote-first startup.

Qualifications

• Solid fundamentals in a modern frontend framework (React, Vue, Angular) and a backend language (Python, Ruby, Node — we'll teach you whichever you're missing)
• Can read and navigate an existing codebase — you don't need everything explained line by line
• Understand the basics: version control (Git), REST APIs, relational databases
• Self-directed learner — you Google before you ask, but you ask before you're stuck for hours
• Strong async communicator — you write clear PR descriptions and flag blockers early

Responsibilities

• Build features — pick up tickets, implement them, get them reviewed, ship them
• Fix bugs — investigate issues, trace them through the stack, and resolve them
• Write tests — maintain and extend test coverage as you go
• Participate in code reviews — review others' code and learn from reviews of yours
• Improve as an engineer — ask questions, pair when stuck, and level up through real production work
