What You’ll Do

Confidential Client is hiring an entry-level, full‑time Associate Software Engineer (new college grads) to join a mission-driven engineering team in Redwood City. This is a hands-on role: you’ll ship production code in your first weeks and take ownership of features across the stack.

• Ship production features quickly and iterate—expect to see your code in production within hours or days.
• Build across the stack: UI components, API endpoints, and database queries.
• Own features end-to-end—from design discussions through implementation, testing, and deployment.
• Debug production issues, refactor legacy areas, and improve system reliability and performance.
• Participate actively in code reviews, architectural discussions, and sprint planning.
• Work directly with senior engineers, product managers, and designers; receive mentorship while driving your own work.

Qualifications / What You Bring

We evaluate real results (projects, internships, hackathons, open source) as much as coursework. Ideal candidates will have:

• A bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience — graduating between December 2026 and June 2027.
• Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and software design.
• Experience with at least one modern language (TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, etc.). Experience with TypeScript, React, or Node.js is a strong plus.
• Demonstrated projects that show you can build and ship real things.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across functions.
• A bias toward action — you prefer shipping and iterating over waiting for perfection.
• Grit and resourcefulness: you ask the right questions, debug effectively, and learn from mistakes.

Tech Stack — What You’ll Learn

You’ll gain hands‑on experience in a modern full‑stack environment, including:

• TypeScript across applications
• NestJS with TypeORM
• PostgreSQL and Redis
• React with a custom UI library (shadcn) and Tailwind CSS
• Continuous deployment workflows and production monitoring
