Role Overview

Our client is seeking a junior, product-minded Software Developer (Builder) to help rapidly build and iterate on prototypes that progress into production-ready solutions.

Golang
TypeScript
Python

Preferred / Ideal Experience

Comfort using AI-assisted development tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.)

Strengths That Stand Out

AI / LLM product development
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) implementations
Full-stack prototyping (TypeScript / React + Python preferred)
User-centered design approach
Quantified results (users, adoption, performance improvements, etc.)

Shipped live products (URLs, GitHub repos, portfolios)
Full-stack experience with TypeScript/React + Python
Demonstrated use of AI tools in daily workflow
Strong product mindset supported by data and metrics
Side projects, open-source contributions, or entrepreneurial builds
