Burnaby based startup is looking for a Junior Full-Stack Developer – AI-Assisted / Vibe Coding Specialist.1. Job Title

Junior Full-Stack Developer – AI-Assisted / Vibe Coding Specialist

Welcome to the future of software engineering. We are a fast-paced, forward-thinking teach company based in Burnaby, we value agility, rapid execution, and continuous iteration over rigid legacy processes. We don't just write code; we architect solutions at speed.

We are seeking a high-energy, ambitious Junior Full-Stack Developer who enthusiastically embraces the concept of "vibe coding." Instead of getting bogged down by boilerplate setup, you know how to command AI coding assistants, Large Language Models (LLMs), and modern development tooling to ship production-grade features in record time. If you thrive on learning rapidly, adjusting on the fly, and building application frameworks at the speed of thought, you will fit right into our highly collaborative ecosystem.

3. Key Responsibilities

Rapid Prototyping & AI Workflows: Leverage AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, LLMs) effectively to generate boilerplate code, debug, rewrite legacy systems, and build software rapidly.

Full-Stack Feature Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable web applications utilizing Python, PHP and Node.js on the backend, paired with responsive, polished user interfaces using React, or other mobile app development skills.

Database & Infrastructure Management: Write clean, performant queries and manage relational database architecture using MySQL or PostgreSQL. Deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot applications within Linux-based environments.

API & Ecosystem Integration: Develop, test, and implement robust integrations including custom e-commerce pipelines, point-of-sale (POS) mechanisms, and standard payment gateway APIs.

Collaborative Version Control: Maintain clean code repositories and streamline deployment pipelines via Git and CI/CD best practices.

4. Technical Requirements & Qualifications

Core Tech Stack: Python | React | Node.js | Linux | Git | MySQL / PostgreSQL

Experience: Approximately 1 year of professional software engineering experience, or a highly substantive portfolio of complex personal/academic projects demonstrating full-stack competencies.

Methodology & Mindset: Proven hands-on knowledge of "vibe coding". You know how to frame prompts, validate AI outputs, catch contextual bugs introduced by LLMs, and dramatically optimize your development lifecycle.

Preferred Assets: Prior exposure to or project-level experience in eCommerce infrastructure, point-of-sale (POS) logic, and secure payment gateway API development (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) is a definitive plus.

Education: A university degree or college diploma in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related technical field.

Soft Skills & Resilience: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills. An innate capability to conduct rapid, independent research to solve complex anomalies. A near-vertical learning curve with the emotional resilience to work smoothly under pressure and deliver to tight product timelines.

5. Funding Eligibility Requirements

This position is partially funded through a Canadian federal youth employment program. To comply with the strict legislative criteria of this economic grant, candidates must meet the following conditions at the time of application:
