Junior Software Engineer

CSC Generation is hiring a Junior Software Engineer to add full-stack engineering capacity to a platform team building shared tooling across e-commerce brands. The role develops and maintains user-facing features and backend services using React, TypeScript, and Node, and collaborates with engineering, product, and design to deliver reliable production changes.

Responsibilities:

• 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

Requirements:

• 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
• 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
