I am working with an innovative technology company that uses AI, machine learning and modern software engineering to build products that solve real-world transport challenges.
They are looking for a Junior Software Developer with around 1 to 2 years of commercial experience to join their growing engineering team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys backend development and wants to gain broader commercial experience across Python, Node.js, databases, cloud technologies and production machine learning systems.
Rather than being restricted to one area, you will contribute across the full software development lifecycle, giving you the opportunity to broaden your technical skills and accelerate your career.
What You Will Be Doing
- Developing backend services and APIs using Python and Node.js
- Working with PostgreSQL, SQL and MongoDB
- Contributing to React-based frontend applications
- Supporting the training and deployment of commercial machine learning models
- Working with object detection and computer vision functionality
- Deploying and maintaining applications using AWS
- Collaborating with an experienced engineering team to build clean, scalable and maintainable software
What They Are Looking For
You will ideally have:
- Around 1 to 2 years of commercial software development experience
- Commercial experience with Python and/or Node.js
- Experience working with SQL or NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, SQL or MongoDB
- Practical commercial exposure to machine learning projects
- Experience contributing to the deployment of an ML solution as part of a team
Experience with React, AWS, Django, Flask, FastAPI, REST APIs, Git or CI/CD would also be beneficial.
You do not need to be a machine learning specialist. However, you should have practical industry experience working with and deploying machine learning solutions as part of a commercial team, rather than exposure limited to coursework or personal projects.
Why Join?
- Broad engineering role covering backend development, databases, cloud and machine learning
- Hands-on exposure to commercial AI and computer vision technology
- Opportunity to work on real products that solve practical transport challenges
- Modern technology stack
- Visible contribution within a growing engineering team
