Junior Engineers have a reasonable understanding of core engineering concepts, such as Keep it Simple (KISS), Don’t repeat yourself (DRY), You ain't gonna need it (YAGNI) and are focused on expanding that understanding and growing as an engineer. You have a basic understanding of the squad’s tools and processes and a broad introduction to engineering best practices. You will also have an appreciation and understanding of software engineering techniques like automated testing, source control, and agile planning and are focused on learning more about these domains.

Junior Engineers can complete small, well-defined tasks within larger projects under mentorship, collaborating with senior engineers to ensure consistent progress and resolve impediments. They are expected to identify and resolve issues to enhance their skills.

This dual-focused role involves implementing frontend changes for our Scheduling Optimisation squad and advancing our platform's AI capabilities. Candidates should demonstrate a willingness to learn about AI and ML frameworks, including a basic understanding of machine learning algorithms (e.g., supervised, unsupervised, reinforcement learning) and familiarity with common AI/ML frameworks and libraries such as LangChain and Python. They should also be eager to learn about data preprocessing techniques for AI/ML models, how to work with senior engineers to implement and test models, and show enthusiasm for AI ethics and responsible AI development.
