This is an early-career role for a developer who has started their professional journey in an AI-first world and wants to grow as an engineer at a fintech that is genuinely embedding AI into everything it builds.
You will pair closely with senior engineers across our React frontend and Node.js backend services, ship real features to production, and use AI tools (LLMs, coding assistants, agents) as a natural part of how you work.
We are not looking for someone who already knows everything.
We are looking for someone curious,



hungry to learn, and excited about building software in a team where AI is part of the toolkit from day one.
Your Impact
Building & Shipping: Work alongside senior engineers to learn, build, test, and ship features across our React frontend and Node.js backend services.
Pick up well-scoped tickets, ask great questions, and deliver clean, reviewed code into production.
Working with AI: Use AI coding assistants and LLM-based tools as part of your everyday workflow, applying them thoughtfully rather than blindly.
Help integrate small AI capabilities (such as LLM calls, easy agents, or retrieval features) into product features and internal tooling under guidance from senior engineers.
Quality & Craft: Write tests, participate in code reviews (both giving and receiving feedback), and follow the team's engineering standards.
Learn our codebase, our patterns, and our tooling, and contribute small improvements as you go.
Collaboration & Learning: Partner with product, design, and other engineers to understand the problem before writing code.
Actively seek mentorship, share what you learn, and build relationships across the engineering team.
Operations Basics: Help triage bugs and support tickets,



debug production issues with senior engineers, and contribute to documentation, runbooks, and observability for the features you ship.
