We work with Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies and large health systems. Since 1947, the firm has opened offices in more than 30 cities. Founded in 1947, we now have 250 employees. Every new hire gets a mentor outside their reporting line.

The role:

The Junior Software Engineer will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Few meetings, lots of written updates. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

Responsibilities:

• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.

• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.

What you need:

• 1-2 years of professional software development experience.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.

Preferred qualifications:

• Contributions to open source projects.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform.
• Prior work at an early-stage startup.

The base pay range for this position is $118,000 - $153,000 annually. Actual pay depends on experience, skills and location.
