Junior Software Engineer - AI Tech
The AI Tech team is focused on building practical AI-powered tools and prototypes for different parts of the business. The team works on early stage ideas, tests what is technically possible, and helps decide which concepts are worth developing further. Some projects turn into production products, while others stay as experiments. The goal is to move quickly, learn from real use cases, and build things that are useful. This role is a good fit for someone early in their engineering career who wants to work with modern AI tools, learn from experienced engineers, and be involved in building new products from the ground up. As a Junior Software Engineer, you will work closely with senior engineers and product stakeholders on new AI-related projects.
