About The Position

We are seeking a Junior Software Engineer for full-stack feature ownership on our small Canadian product team building docuflow, our SAP content-integration platform. This role is ideal for recent graduates or individuals with up to 1 year of experience who are eager to ship features end-to-end and invest in their professional growth. You will work on features spanning our Java backend (Vert.x, message queues, AWS, SAP) and the React + Material-UI admin GUI. You will be paired with senior or intermediate engineers for complex tasks and will own smaller features independently. Our team offers real mentorship, quick decision-making, and a collaborative environment without the traditional corporate ladder.

Requirements

A recent graduate, graduating soon, or up to 1 year into your career.
Computer Science or Software Engineering degree preferred; strong self-taught candidates with a bootcamp + portfolio or substantial personal projects are also welcome.
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.
Eagerness to learn distributed-systems concepts such as queues, retries, idempotency, and dead-letter queues.
Daily use of AI coding assistants and an understanding that they are tools for learning acceleration, not replacements for understanding code.
Ability to write small, reviewable pull requests and a desire to improve this skill.
Must be eligible to work in Canada and located in British Columbia.

Nice To Haves

A portfolio, GitHub profile, or open-source contributions that can be discussed.
Co-op terms, internships, or hackathon experience at any tech company.
Computer Science or Software Engineering degree (equivalent experience considered).
Exposure to enterprise content platforms (Box, SharePoint, S3, FileNet, OpenText) or SAP at any level.
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, including REST APIs, message-queue workers, AWS integrations, and associated React + Material-UI admin pages, complete with tests.
Fix bugs and improve test coverage as you gain familiarity with the codebase, contributing to real customer impact.
Refactor and clean up code when opportunities arise, receiving senior review and feedback to enhance judgment.
Gain exposure to the full stack, including backend services, frontend forms and dialogs, message queues, and cloud integrations, to identify areas for specialization.
Write documentation concurrently with code, treating it as an integral part of the deliverable.
Participate regularly in pair programming, ask questions freely, and contribute your unique perspective to code reviews, recognizing that junior engineers often spot issues senior engineers might miss.
