Reports to: Lead Software Engineer, One Kings Lane
Location: Remote (US or Canada), 1 in person interview required
About the Role
This role exists to add full-stack engineering capacity to the platform team that builds shared tooling across a portfolio of e-commerce brands. As Junior Software Engineer, you will work primarily in JavaScript and TypeScript — React on the front end, Node on the back end — shipping production changes that are used daily across real consumer storefronts.
Within your first 6 months, you will ship production changes independently, take ownership of clearly scoped features with light guidance through code review, and demonstrate the engineering habits — small pull requests, disciplined debugging, readable code — that earn increasing scope.
This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.
What You'll Do
Build and refine user-facing features using React, TypeScript, and modern front-end tooling.
Implement and integrate backend services using Node and TypeScript or JavaScript, including REST-style APIs and basic data models.
Work with senior engineers to break down requirements into small, shippable pieces and implement them end to end.
Write clear, maintainable code and basic tests for both front-end and back-end functionality.
Collaborate with product and design to polish UX details, handle edge cases, and improve performance and reliability.
· Use AI assisted tools, such as Claude Code, in a disciplined way to speed up development while keeping code quality high.
Participate in code reviews, ask questions, and steadily grow toward owning small features and services independently.
Practice good engineering hygiene: version control, small pull requests, clear commit messages, and lightweight documentation.
Required Qualifications
Experience with JavaScript or TypeScript through coursework, internships, personal projects, bootcamps, or 0–3 years of professional work.
Hands-on experience with React and component-based UI development, including state management and basic forms.
Some exposure to backend development in Node (e.g., simple APIs, scripts, or server-side logic).
Comfort with HTML and CSS, responsive layouts, and common web patterns.
Basic understanding of HTTP, JSON, and how front-end code communicates with backend services.
Some exposure to testing tools on either front end or back end, or a clear willingness to learn them.
Strong debugging mindset: you read error messages, check logs, and try small experiments before asking for help.
Evidence of being studious and self-directed — for example, you maintain personal notes or a knowledge base, or you can describe something difficult you taught yourself recently and how you went about it.
Clear communication, willingness to receive feedback, and a growth mindset.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with a web framework such as Express, Next.js, or similar.
Exposure to databases or data storage, even if only in simple projects.
Awareness of accessibility, performance, and basic security considerations.
Prior use of AI coding assistants or strong interest in using them responsibly in your workflow.
Experience with e-commerce, design systems, or component libraries.
Why Join
The people who do best here are builders. They take ownership, move fast, and want to see the direct impact of their work.
Team Environment: You will work alongside senior engineers who invest in your growth through code review, pairing, and real-time feedback — not abstract mentorship.
AI-First Skill Building: Hands-on experience using AI-assisted development tools with the same expectations we have for any production code: reviewable, testable, and maintainable.
Real Ownership Early: Diligent engineers in this role move faster than is typical for junior roles — owning larger features sooner because the team favors small teams, fast iteration, and real responsibility.
Competitive Benefits (US): Paid time off policies, 401(k) match, medical/dental/vision and a variety of supplemental policies, and employee discounts across our portfolio of brands.
Competitive Benefits (Canada): Paid time off policies, RRSP match, medical, dental, and vision coverage, a variety of supplemental benefit options, and employee discounts across our portfolio of brands.
