Summary
A growing technology team is looking for a junior full-stack developer with a frontend focus. The role involves building interactive user interfaces, working with backend services, visualizing data, and learning from experienced engineers.
Highlights
Great opportunity for early-career developers with mentorship, real product ownership, code reviews, and exposure to interactive data-heavy applications.
Description
The short versionVesselFront builds an AI weather-routing and voyage-optimization platform for commercial fleets, utilizing neurosymbolic, multi-agent voyage optimization processes that pairs learned patterns from millions of nautical miles with the hard constraints of physics, regulation, and vessel limits.
Every recommendation is explainable, auditable, and validated against real voyages.
We're looking for a junior full-stack developer with a frontend leaning who's excited to help turn a live nautical chart into an intuitive product and to grow fast, with senior engineers around you to learn from.
You won't be thrown in alone: you'll get real features to work on, code review, and mentorship.
If you like maps, real-time data, and learning by building real things (with support around you), read on.
What you'll actually work onA few things you'll work on, with guidance from the team:
Interactive chart tools: help build features to draw, measure, and plan routes directly on maps.Data-visualization features: weather charts, animated overlays and effects layered onto voyage simulations.Map tiles with several layers: wiring geospatial data into the UI.Full-stack features: contribute across the React front end and the Node/TypeScript backend, pairing with senior engineers to take features from screen to API.UI/UX: help shape how the product looks and feels, not just implement pixel-for-pixel mockups.Learning the codebase fast: through pairing, code review, and honest feedback.Cross-team collaboration: work with product, backend and the data science team as you grow into owning your own features.Environment: a React + TypeScript app (Vite, MUI) with heavy geospatial UI, and a Node.js + TypeScript backend (Express, Sequelize over PostgreSQL, Redis).
Must-havesA solid foundation in React + TypeScript + modern JavaScript (ES6+) from studies, a bootcamp, an internship, or personal projects.
You've built real things, even if not yet in production.
(Roughly 0–2 years.)Full-stack basics; comfortable with JavaScript/TypeScript on the backend (Node.js), a basic grasp of REST APIs, and some experience with a relational database (PostgreSQL).An interest in data-heavy, interactive UIs; dashboards, charts, and real-time data.Clear communication.
You ask questions when you're stuck, listen well, and work openly in a team.A learning mindset.
You pick things up quickly, take feedback well, and are eager to grow into a full-stack engineer.Familiarity with Git and a willingness to work in an agile/sprint workflow.
Nice-to-havesWeb-mapping / geospatial libraries.
Any exposure to Leaflet, Mapbox, OpenLayers or PostGIS is a real plus; even a small personal or university project counts.
(We’re happy to teach you the rest.)Domain interest: maritime, Earth Observation, ClimateTech or another geospatial field.Testing awareness; you've tried Jest / Testing Library, or you're keen to learn.An eye for design and interaction detail.An AI-first mindset.
You already reach for AI-assisted coding tools to learn and build faster, and you're excited to work on a product where AI models sit at the core.A taste of agentic AI; bonus if you've experimented with building anything agentic (tool-using agents, multi-step workflows), even as a side project.A portfolio: internships, open-source contributions, a GitHub, or projects you can walk us through.
