Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer

KollabioBrambleton, VA

About The Position

Kollabio is building AI-native platform solutions. We are seeking a capable, proactive Junior Full-Stack Software Engineer who operates with ownership and delivers production-ready code. You will own features from design through production, working in a focused environment where you ship real code that matters. We provide guidance and mentorship to support your growth. The responsibility—and the growth—are yours. This is a systems-oriented engineering role for someone who takes initiative, cares about quality, and builds with structure and clarity. You work with clear architectural principles and strong support from senior engineers, but execution and ownership are yours. You make pragmatic decisions, seek feedback, and improve with each iteration. AI-Native Engineering: You leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot) as core parts of your engineering practice from day one—for code generation, design exploration, debugging, and learning. Beyond tool proficiency, you design and integrate AI/LLM capabilities into our products, translating AI into user value. This is modern engineering, and you will master it alongside your team.
