Job Overview

We're looking for a curious, motivated Junior Developer to join our cross-functional Digital Experience and IT team. In this role, you'll roll up your sleeves on real application development by building, testing, and shipping features that directly power how our travellers, guides and staff design and experience B\&R journeys.

This is a hands-on development role. You'll spend the majority of your time writing and reviewing code alongside our senior full stack and front-end developers, contributing to end-to-end product delivery across our web applications and digital tools. You'll work closely with UX/UI designers to translate design specs into polished, responsive features, and you'll participate actively in all phases of our Agile development cycle.

Beyond building, you'll also serve as the first point of contact on our internal Helpdesk by triaging issues, troubleshooting our proprietary digital tools, and escalating to senior developers where needed. This exposure gives you a broad view of the full digital ecosystem and helps develop your instincts around product quality and user experience.

• Familiarity with CI/CD tooling and rapid deployment practices.
• Basic SQL experience is a strong asset.
• Experience with React Native or other mobile frameworks is an asset.
