About this role
The AI Tech team is focused on building practical AI-powered tools and prototypes for different parts of the business.
The team works on early stage ideas, tests what is technically possible, and helps decide which concepts are worth developing further. Some projects turn into production products, while others stay as experiments. The goal is to move quickly, learn from real use cases, and build things that are useful.
This role is a good fit for someone early in their engineering career who wants to work with modern AI tools, learn from experienced engineers, and be involved in building new products from the ground up.
As a *Junior Software Engineer*, you will work closely with senior engineers and product stakeholders on new AI-related projects.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Helping build and test functional prototypes and internal tools
- Writing clean, understandable code with support from senior team members

- Reviewing and validating AI-generated code instead of relying on it blindly
- Working with APIs, databases, automation tools, and modern web technologies
- Sharing progress clearly through Jira and team communication channels
- Asking for help early when something is blocked or unclear
- Taking part in discussions about technical approach, product value, and project direction
### What we’re looking for
We are not looking for someone who simply copies or approves code from AI tools without understanding it. We are looking for a junior engineer with a solid technical foundation, curiosity, and the ability to think through problems.
You may be a good fit if you:
- Enjoy experimenting with new tools and technologies
- Have used AI coding assistants and understand both their value and their limitations
- Can learn a new framework, library, or API reasonably quickly
- Care about why something is being built, not only how it is im...
