Description
Who We Are:
Power Digital is an AI-Native Growth Firm built at the intersection of world-class talent and proprietary technology. We help leading and emerging brands grow by combining deep vertical expertise, strategic thinking, and enterprise intelligence to drive measurable business outcomes.
For more than a decade, we have built our business around one belief: the best technology makes great people better. Our teams of strategists, creatives, analysts, and technologists use Omega, our AI operating system, to surface opportunities faster, investigate what is driving performance, and execute approved work with greater speed and precision. Behind Omega is Iris, our proprietary intelligence layer, built on years of real performance data, strategic frameworks, testing, and learnings from across our client portfolio. AI expands the capacity of our people to think, create, solve harder problems, and make better decisions. Human judgment, creativity, and accountability remain central to how we work.
As a people-first firm, we value diversity in backgrounds and experiences. We strongly believe our people and culture are key to our success. We partner closely with our clients as an extension of their teams, working across strategy, execution, and measurement to identify what is truly blocking growth and determine what to do next. Our culture is built on people who are curious, ambitious, accountable, and committed to delivering meaningful results for our clients and for one another.
At Power Digital, we believe the future belongs to teams that combine the best talent with the best technology. We are building that future today.

A day in the life:
As a Junior Software Engineer, you'll build and maintain features across our AI-centric web applications — turning designs into working UI, wiring up API integrations, and keeping the codebase clean and well-tested.
You'll work closely with senior engineers who review your code, help unblock you when you're stuck, and push you to level up fast. Expect a mix of hands-on and AI-assisted coding, debugging, and daily collaboration through stand-ups and code reviews, with English as your everyday working language across a global, cross-timezone team.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build and maintain web application features across the frontend and backend, writing clean, well-documented code and implementing user interfaces to design spec
- Work on REST and GraphQL API integrations and databases to support application features
- Debug and resolve technical issues across the frontend and backend, and write unit and integration tests to keep releases reliable
- Follow security best practices and internal development standards, including git workflow, in everything you ship
- Participate in code reviews and team stand-ups, and keep your lead updated on task status and any blockers
- Employ AI technologies to enhance and optimize business processes
- Utilize and leverage Power Digital's Nova ecosystem as it relates to your department; other applicable or related duties as assigned
Role Requirements:

- Working knowledge of at least one modern web framework, with comfort writing JavaScript/TypeScript or an equivalent language for the team's stack
- Basic understanding of REST/GraphQL APIs and relational databases
- Familiarity with Git and standard version control workflows
- Strong written and verbal English skills for daily use — documentation, code comments, and communication with global teams and clients
- Comfort giving and receiving feedback in code review, and asking for help when blocked
- Eagerness to learn, take direction, and grow technical skills quickly
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

- Code review comments and stand-up follow-ups addressed within 1 business day
Most Important Things (MITs)
- Shipping clean, tested, well-documented code on the tasks you're assigned
- Growing your technical skills fast — asking questions, taking feedback, and applying it
- Being a reliable teammate: showing up to stand-ups, flagging blockers early, and meeting commitments
- Following team standards — git workflow, security practices, and code review process — without being reminded
- Using AI tools to work faster and smarter, not just to get by
