Associate Software Engineer (College Grad 2027)

About The Role

• Build something that matters from day one.
• Ship real features to real users within your first weeks.
• Be challenged daily, expected to move fast, learn faster, and take ownership of your work.
• Join a talented team who will push you to grow, but also expected to think independently, ask the right questions, and own your work from design through deployment.
• Commit code daily, make mistakes, and learn from them.
• Be thrown into the deep end and come out stronger.
• Be scrappy, resourceful, and eager to prove yourself.
• Drive to find answers, not afraid of ambiguity or hard problems.
• Take feedback as fuel and seek a place that invests in making you exceptional, not comfortable.
• This is an in-person role for new college graduates in our Redwood City office, 3 days a week.
• Start date: July 2027.

Key Responsibilities

• Ship production code in your first week—real features that impact real users.
• Build across the stack, from database queries to API endpoints to UI components, learning the full lifecycle of software development.
• Take ownership of features end-to-end, being accountable for what you build.
• Work directly with senior engineers, product managers, and designers, with mentorship and expectation to drive your own work forward.
• Debug production issues, refactor messy code, and improve systems.
• Move fast and iterate; deploy continuously and see your code in production within hours.
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and product planning.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)—graduating between December 2026 and June 2027.
• Solid fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and software design.
• Experience with at least one modern programming language: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java.
• Bonus if you've worked with TypeScript, React, or Node.js.
• Projects that show you can build real things (personal projects, hackathons, internships, open source contributions).
• A hunger to learn and an ego small enough to admit when you don't know something.
• Grit; you don't give up when things get hard.
• Strong communication skills; ability to explain thinking, take feedback without defensiveness, and collaborate with non-engineers.
• Extreme bias toward action; prefer to ship something imperfect and iterate than wait for perfect.

What You'll Learn

• Hands-on experience with our modern tech stack:
• TypeScript across all applications.
• NestJS API with TypeORM.
• Postgres and Redis.
• React with our custom UI library built on shadcn.
• Tailwind CSS.
• You will gain experience by working with AI tools daily as part of our development workflow.

Qualifications

• New college graduates graduating between December 2026 and June 2027.
