Role Overview As a Junior JavaScript Full Stack Developer , you’ll join Rebel’s Development Team to help build and improve the products that enable customers to bring their vision online.

You’ll work across the stack— React on the front end and Node.js (and occasionally .NET) on the back end —delivering well-scoped features, bug fixes, and enhancements under the guidance of experienced teammates.

This role is ideal for someone early in their career who’s excited to learn, contribute, and grow in a collaborative Agile environment while building reliable, maintainable software that supports real customers at scale.

What You’ll Do Work with your team to deliver assigned tasks and small project work, asking questions early and communicating progress regularly.

Contribute to features across the stack (front-end and back-end) under guidance, following established patterns, standards, and best practices.

Help translate requirements into simple technical solutions with support from senior teammates and clear documentation.

Build and update UI components using modern front-end technologies (React) to create clear, accessible user experiences.

Implement and maintain basic back-end functionality (Node.js and/or .NET where applicable), such as APIs, data handling, and integrations, with mentorship and code reviews.

Write clean, readable, and maintainable code, and participate in code reviews to learn and improve.

Create and update automated tests (unit/integration) for the code you work on, and assist with debugging issues found during testing.

Support deployments by following release checklists and team processes, helping verify that changes work as expected in staging/production.

Use logs, basic monitoring tools, and debugging techniques to troubleshoot issues, escalating when needed and documenting what you learn.

Collaborate with cross-functional partners (Product, Marketing, Customer Service, and other stakeholders) by participating in discussions and clarifying requirements.

Maintain documentation for the features you contribute to (how it works, how to test it, and how to support it).

Learn continuously—new tools, frameworks, and team practices—and apply feedback to grow your skills over time.

Use AI-assisted tools responsibly (where appropriate) to help with understanding code, generating drafts, and improving productivity, while ensuring correctness through review and testing.

Participate in active system support, bug fixing and incident resolution as needed What You Bring 1–3 years of professional experience (or equivalent through internships/co-ops/projects) building software with modern stacks (Node.js and/or React).

Working knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript and modern ES6+ syntax; eager to deepen skills and adopt best practices.

Exposure to back-end development with Node.js (Express.js or similar) and working with RESTful APIs (building or consuming).

Basic familiarity with cloud concepts and interest in learning AWS (or similar), including how applications are deployed and run.

Introductory understanding of software architecture concepts (services, events, scalability) and willingness to learn how they apply in production systems.

Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments (school projects or professional), and comfort with sprints, standups, and iterative delivery.

Familiarity with Git and collaborative workflows (branches, pull requests) and openness to feedback through code reviews.

Some experience with automated testing and CI (writing basic tests, running pipelines), with a desire to build strong quality habits.

Exposure to IaC and containers (CloudFormation/CDK/Terraform and/or Docker) is a plus, but not required—willingness to learn is key.

Interest in improving existing systems through bug fixes, refactoring, and small enhancements (including working in parts of a legacy codebase with mentorship e.g., .NET Framework and/or Java).

Desire to learn and grow your career What We Offer A collaborative, high-performance workplace that recognizes hard work and creative thinking, with competitive compensation, benefits, and opportunities for growth.

A smoke-free, downtown office with thoughtful perks, including a fully stocked staff fridge.

Comprehensive training in domain registration, web hosting platforms, and troubleshooting tools.

A dedicated workspace, a supportive team environment, and ongoing professional development.

A people-centered culture that values your expertise, ideas, and long-term career growth.

Who We’re Looking For People who care.

About customers.

About teammates.

About doing the right thing even when it’s the harder thing.

You don’t need to know every acronym (yet), but you should love learning, solving problems, and keeping cool when tech gets tricky.

If you’re kind, curious, reliable, and maybe a little cheeky—you’ll fit right in.
