Junior Software Engineer

Job Summary:Flueid is seeking a Junior Software Engineer (Backend) who will contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of backend services and APIs that power our core products. This is a hands-on engineering role where developers own code quality end-to-end — including writing automated tests.

The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in computer science, is passionate about cloud-native engineering on AWS, and is eager to learn modern practices such as agentic coding, where AI-assisted development is an integrated part of daily engineering workflows.

While the focus is backend development (TypeScript/Node.js and C#), there will be opportunities to contribute to frontend features when needed.

Duties/Responsibilities:

• Develop, test, and maintain backend services and APIs using TypeScript and C#.
• Follow agentic coding practices, including the use of AI coding assistants, structured prompting, and iterative co-development workflows.
• Write and maintain automated unit and integration tests; engineers own the full quality lifecycle.
• Help design and build scalable, secure cloud-native components on AWS (Lambda, S3, API Gateway, DynamoDB, etc.).
• Participate in code reviews and incorporate feedback to continuously improve code quality.
• Collaborate with engineering leadership to refine requirements, scope work, and deliver features reliably.
• Troubleshoot production systems, resolve defects, and contribute to improving observability and performance.
• Document APIs, services, and internal tooling to ensure clarity and alignment across teams.
• Work on occasional frontend tasks (e.g., React or similar) while maintaining a strong backend focus.
• Participate in team ceremonies (standups, planning, retrospectives) and contribute to process improvements.

Requirements:

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a closely related technical major.

Technical Skills:

• Solid foundation in programming concepts, OOP, algorithms, and data structures.
• Experience with or willingness to adopt agentic coding and AI-assisted development workflows.
• Working knowledge of backend development using TypeScript or C#.
• Understanding of RESTful APIs or backend service development.
• Familiarity with cloud concepts and the AWS ecosystem.
• Experience working with version control (Git) and modern engineering practices.
• Ability to write clean, maintainable, well-tested code.

Professional Skills:

• Strong problem-solving abilities and eagerness to learn from mentors and teammates.
• Clear communication skills, especially in a remote-first environment.
• Highly organized and able to manage time, tasks, and priorities in a fast-paced setting.
• Collaborative mindset with a willingness to ask questions, learn new technologies, and share knowledge.

Physical Demands:

• Ability to safely and successfully perform the essential functions consistent with the ADA, FMLA and other federal, state, and local standards, including meeting qualitative and or quantitative productivity standards.
