Junior Full Stack Engineer – AI

You will join a company building the digital infrastructure for grant funding, helping organizations spend less time navigating funding logic, forms, and administration and more time on the projects and impact that matter.

The platform brings together research across 18,000+ funding programmes, AI-supported analysis and application drafting, expert review, and ongoing grant management. AI handles what can scale, while people bring experience and judgment where it matters.

As a Junior Full Stack Engineer, you will help build the product across the backend, frontend, and AI pipeline at the core of the platform. You will work directly with the CTO, who already has one successful exit, and learn first-hand how modern software is built in a clean, fast, AI-native environment.

This role is designed for someone early in their career who wants real responsibility and a steep learning curve. You will start with close guidance and progressively take on more independent ownership, with a clear path toward a senior engineering role.

Responsibilities

Product Development & Full-Stack Engineering

• Ship features end-to-end, from backend development through to the user interface.
• Work across the stack, including React, Node/Express, Postgres, and AWS.
• Start with close guidance and progressively take on greater independence and ownership.
• Work closely with the CTO and grant team to build solutions based on real user problems rather than abstract tickets.
• Build software with a user-first mindset, ensuring what you create works for real people.

AI Development

• Help build the platform's AI pipeline from week one.
• Work with prompt engineering, context management, and AI evaluations.
• Gain hands-on experience with AI development and learn how AI-powered features are built and improved in production.
• Use AI-native development tools such as Claude Code or Cursor as part of your engineering workflow.

Production & Debugging

• Trace and fix bugs in the production environment.
• Work with tools including Sentry, CloudWatch, and Postgres.
• Learn how production systems work by investigating real issues and understanding their underlying causes.
• Develop strong debugging and problem-solving skills through hands-on production experience.

Learning & Engineering Growth

• Work closely with the CTO and receive direct technical mentoring.
• Use code reviews as a learning tool, incorporating feedback and progressively contributing feedback to others.
• Take increasing ownership of features and technical problems as your experience grows.
• Develop toward independent feature ownership, with a clear path toward a senior engineering role.
• Contribute to improving the time from starting a project to a finished, submitted application through reliable features, automation, and product improvements.
