About The Position

We are hiring a Junior Software Engineer for full-stack feature ownership on our SAP content-integration platform, docuflow. This is a remote position for candidates based in British Columbia. You will work on features spanning our Java backend (Vert.x, message queues, AWS, SAP) and the React + Material-UI admin GUI. You’ll be paired with a senior or intermediate engineer on harder tasks and own smaller features end-to-end. The team offers real mentorship, quick decision-making, and a focus on output over hours. We utilize AI-augmented engineering with tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot, alongside documented engineering standards and continuous delivery via Kanban.

Requirements

Recent graduate, graduating soon, or up to 1 year into your career.
Solid fundamentals in Java or another strongly-typed language.
Some exposure to React or another modern front-end framework.
Comfortable with version control, pull requests, code review, and writing tests.
Eager to learn distributed-systems concepts (queues, retries, idempotency, dead-letter queues).
You use AI coding assistants daily and understand they’re a tool to accelerate learning, not a substitute for understanding what your code actually does.
You write small, reviewable pull requests and want to keep getting better at it.
Eligible to work in Canada and located in BC.

Nice To Haves

Computer Science or Software Engineering degree preferred; strong self-taught candidates with bootcamp + portfolio or substantial personal projects also welcome.
A portfolio, GitHub profile, or open-source contributions you can walk us through.
Co-op terms, internships, or hackathon experience at any tech company.
Exposure to enterprise content platforms (Box, SharePoint, S3, FileNet, OpenText) or SAP at any level (even academic).
Comfort with reactive / non-blocking JVM frameworks (Vert.x, Spring WebFlux) or async patterns in any language.
Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or GitHub Actions CI/CD.

Responsibilities

Build features under the guidance of senior engineers (REST APIs, message-queue workers, AWS integrations, and the React + Material-UI admin pages that go with them) with the tests to back them up.
Fix bugs and improve test coverage as you learn the codebase.
Refactor and clean up code as you spot opportunities, with senior review and feedback to sharpen your judgement.
Get exposure to the full stack (backend services, frontend forms and dialogs, message queues, cloud integrations) and find the areas you want to go deep on.
Write the documentation alongside the code, not after.
Pair regularly, ask questions liberally, and bring your own perspective to code reviews.
