Junior Developer

We’re hiring a Junior Developer to support and enhance our Careers web platform. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their career who enjoys working on real production systems while helping modernize a legacy application into a more maintainable, component-based platform.

You’ll work closely with senior engineers and our Infrastructure team to deliver enhancements, fix bugs, improve performance, and help keep the platform stable and secure - with opportunities to participate in ongoing refactoring and modernization efforts.

The preferred candidate will work remotely based out of US or Canada.

• Develop and enhance front-end features using Vue.js (forms, validation, API-driven views, reusable components)
• Maintain and extend an existing Adobe Cold Fusion (CFML) application while gradually refactoring portions of the UI and workflows into a modern Vue.js-based front end
• Assist with breaking down legacy Cold Fusion pages into reusable API endpoints and front-end components, with guidance from senior engineers
• Implement small-to-medium features from defined requirements, coordinating changes across UI, APIs, and backend systems
• Troubleshoot production issues (application errors, UI bugs, unexpected behavior) and assist with root-cause analysis

• Participate in code reviews, documentation, and team delivery practices (Jira tickets, Git feature-branching, testing, release notes)
• Collaborate with Infrastructure/Dev Ops on deployments, configuration changes, logging/monitoring, and environment stability
• Help improve code quality over time through refactoring, reducing recurring issues, and improving maintainability
