Role Overview

Rapid Prototyping Engineer (1-3 years experience) who is passionate about building quick, functional prototypes using Python, Next.js, MongoDB , and modern AI-assisted workflows. This role is ideal for a strong junior developer who loves to explore, assemble solutions quickly, debug across the full stack, and use AI coding tools to accelerate development while maintaining code quality and reliability.

You'll work in short, focused cycles to turn ideas into functional proof-of-concepts that validate technical direction before they evolve into production-grade MVPs.

What You'll Do

• Rapid Prototyping & Development

Build quick proof-of-concepts using Python (FastAPI preferred), Next.js / React, MongoDB, REST / GraphQL APIs

Troubleshoot and debug full-stack issues across frontend, backend, API gateways, environment variables, Dockerized services, and MongoDB queries

Write structured prompts to generate or refactor code safely; evaluate AI-generated code for correctness, security, and maintainability; document useful prompts and patterns for team reuse

Work in 1-2 week time-boxed cycles with frequent demos; capture stakeholder feedback and refine prototypes quickly; participate in lightweight peer reviews and code walkthroughs

Use automated linting, type checking, and simple unit tests to validate prototypes; run dependency checks and basic security scans; follow Git branching workflows, commit hygiene, and documentation standards

Write clear README files, setup instructions, and notes on design decisions; prepare prototypes so they can transition smoothly into production teams

Requirements

Required Skills & Experience (1-3 Years)

Strong programming skills in :

Familiarity with GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools; understanding of when to trust vs. verify AI-generated code; ability to write structured prompts for code generation and refactoring

(Not deep expertise—just working knowledge)

Experience with :

Basic ML or LLM usage (Hugging Face, embeddings, vector databases like Pinecone / Chroma); Experience with serverless functions (Vercel, Cloud Functions); Knowledge of TailwindCSS or component frameworks (Shadcn, MUI); Familiarity with GraphQL

Number of functional prototypes completed; Time from idea to demo-ready build; Debugging efficiency and problem-resolution speed; Quality of code (readability, reliability, low defect rate); Effective use of AI coding assistants; Reusability of prompts and prototype components; Positive feedback from stakeholders on clarity and speed

Why You'll Love Working Here

Your prototypes will influence real-world logistics operations and become the foundation of production systems used by major brands.

As a junior engineer, you will receive :

Mentorship from senior engineers; AI / ML training opportunities; Hands-on experience across the stack and cloud platforms

We're a remote-first team with flexible work arrangements and a culture that values curiosity, experimentation, and learning.

Supplementary health benefits & wellness program; Paid vacation, sick leave, and statutory holidays; CPP contributions + additional retirement programs; Learning & development budget; Internet and workstation reimbursement; Anniversary rewards and an Employee Stock Option Plan (ESOP); Company meetups, team events, and collaborative culture
