Junior JavaScript/TypeScript Developer (Remote)
Position: Junior Developer (JavaScript/TypeScript)
Experience: 2–3 years
Location: Remote
Employment Type: Full-time
About the Role
We’re looking for a Junior JavaScript/TypeScript Developer to join our remote engineering team. This role is for someone who wants to build and improve real product features and also take responsibility for how those features behave in production.
You’ll work across backend services (and occasionally frontend) and will also help troubleshoot live issues, handle bug fixes, and work on support tickets when they require code-level changes. The balance between new development and support will vary over time based on business needs, so we’re looking for someone who is comfortable owning both.
