The roleYou'll own features end to end - across the frontend, backend and data layer - and ship on a weekly cadence, not a quarterly one.
You'll:
- Ship quickly, then ship again
- Design and build entirely new ways of working with computers
- Work on groundbreaking projects involving LLMs
- Speak directly with the clients using what you build
- Use those conversations to shape product decisions
- Help define Junior's engineering culture as the team doubles
Sample projects- Build frontier products capable of ingesting new types of research inputs
- Build an extremely low-latency, voice-to-voice survey tool that autonomously conducts high volumes of research
- Build a mobile app from scratch in three weeks
- Create segmented knowledge graphs using unstructured-to-structured data transformations
- Build an AI-native CRM with deep links into that knowledge graph
About you- You have 5+ years of engineering experience - we care about demonstrated competence, not pedigree
- You're genuinely strong in TypeScript, Next.js and PostgreSQL, not merely familiar with them
- You can build a polished React/Next.js interface or work through a difficult TypeScript problem live and quickly, without relying on Copilot
- You have solid foundations in data structures, system design and PostgreSQL
- You're high-agency and product-minded
- You've owned projects end to end, argued for what should be built - not only how - and shipped without being handed a detailed specification
- You communicate clearly and want a client-facing role
- You're based in NYC, or already committed to relocating, and excited to work with the team in person in Flatiron
- You feel like you're never building fast enough
- Bonus: you've built and designed AI-powered products
🧠Interview processThe process moves in days, not months:
- Introductory call: background, motivation and mutual fit
- Live technical screen (30-mins): solving a TypeScript problem live in an IDE with one of our engineers. We optimize for speed and completeness over polish, and the interview is completed without AI tools
- On-site Interview: a full afternoon of coding, a system-design whiteboard and a product discussion with one of our PMs
- Final Cultural Round: a final conversation about how you work, what motivates you and whether Junior is the right environment for you
- Offer: decisions are made collectively and quickly
🌵 Benefits- Private health insurance
- Equinox gym membership
- Dinner provided when working late
- Team lunch provided every day at the office
- Frequent international off-sites, recently including Crete and Cancún
If you're excited to drive innovation at Junior, we'd love to hear from you!
