Job Overview

This listing is for an Associate Software Engineer position. Skills mentioned in the listing include TypeScript, React.js, PostgreSQL, SQL databases, Git and GitHub, Artificial Intelligence and LLMs. The listing is aimed at the following profile: 1 to 3 years. For general context: React is a popular library for building interactive user interfaces. Git tracks code changes so teams can work on the same project without overwriting each other. Interested candidates can review the full details below and apply using the link provided on this page.

★ TypeScript: Adds types to JavaScript so mistakes are caught earlier; day to day it means defining interfaces and typing function inputs and outputs.
★ React.js: Building user interfaces from reusable components and managing the data that changes on screen.
★ PostgreSQL: A relational database where data lives in related tables; the work usually involves writing SQL and designing schemas.
★ SQL databases: Working with tables, relationships and queries to store and retrieve structured data.
★ Git and GitHub: Tracking changes, working on branches, opening pull requests and resolving conflicts so a team can share code safely.
★ Python: Writing readable scripts and backend or data code using Python's standard library and common packages.
★ Artificial Intelligence: A general understanding of how AI systems learn from data, where they are useful, and where they can be unreliable.
★ LLMs: Understanding how large language models generate text from prompts, and why their output still needs to be checked.

★ TypeScript: interfaces versus type aliases, generics basics, typing API responses
★ React.js: components, props and state, useState and useEffect, lists, forms and conditional rendering
★ PostgreSQL: joins, indexes, transactions and constraints
★ SQL databases: SELECT, JOIN and GROUP BY, primary and foreign keys, normalisation basics
★ Git and GitHub: branching and merging, pull requests and code review, resolving merge conflicts
★ Python: core data structures, functions and modules, virtual environments and pip
★ Artificial Intelligence: supervised versus unsupervised learning, common real-world use cases, limitations and bias
★ LLMs: prompting basics, context limits and hallucinations, using an LLM API

This role may be suitable for candidates who have some early professional or project experience and want to keep building their skills. Applicants with working knowledge of TypeScript, React.js, PostgreSQL, SQL databases, Git and GitHub, Artificial Intelligence and LLMs may feel well prepared for what the listing describes. This is editorial guidance only, and the employer makes the final decision on suitability.

Applicants may want to highlight relevant experience with TypeScript, React.js, PostgreSQL and SQL databases in their CV. Because version control is mentioned, a GitHub profile with a few well-described repositories can make your skills easier to verify. If you have used AI tools or built small projects with language models, briefly describe what you built and how you checked the results. If you have limited work history, academic projects, personal builds, and open-source contributions can demonstrate practical ability. Keep your CV to the point and tailor the summary to this role rather than sending a generic version. These are general tips, not requirements stated by the employer.

These suggested questions can help you prepare for an interview by focusing on the skills, responsibilities, and technical areas relevant to this role. They are for preparation only and are not confirmed employer questions.
Q: What benefits does TypeScript give over plain JavaScript on a team project, and what trade-offs have you noticed?
Q: How does useEffect work with its dependency array, and what mistakes do people commonly make with it?
Q: How do joins and indexes affect query performance in PostgreSQL?
Q: How would you design tables and relationships for a simple job-board application?
Q: What is the difference between git merge and git rebase, and when would you use each?
Q: How do decorators and generators work in Python?
Q: How do interfaces and type aliases differ, and when would you choose one over the other?
Q: How do state and props differ in React, and how do you decide where state should live?
Q: What are you hoping to learn in this role, and how have you prepared so far?
