With Pebl, companies everywhere can hire great talent anywhere. Where Your Work Moves the Needle. At Pebl, every team member drives our success. Joining us means more than filling a role&#x2014;you&#x2019;re accountable for results and impact. Our values guide how we operate, execute, and collaborate across borders. By putting them into action, you&#x2019;ll help us scale faster, compete harder, and lead the future of global work. What Makes You a Great Fit Our mission at Pebl is to simplify global employment, enabling companies to hire, manage, and retain talent anywhere in the world. Our AI &amp; Knowledge team is building Alfie, our conversational AI assistant, and rethinking what it means for software to work with you, not just for you. We&apos;re looking for a Junior Software Engineer to join the team and grow into a core contributor on the systems that power Alfie. This is a full-stack role that leans backend: most of your work will be in the APIs, data models, and infrastructure behind our LLM-based product, but you&apos;ll also touch the frontend where a feature needs it end-to-end. You don&apos;t need to have shipped agentic systems before &#x2014; you need strong fundamentals, real curiosity about how these systems work, and the drive to learn fast alongside engineers who&apos;ve been doing this for years. This role reports to the Engineering Manager, with day-to-day work led by our Staff Software Engineer. This role will require in-office collaboration Monday-Wednesday in our Toronto, Ontario office. How You&apos;ll Make An Impact <ul><li>Build and ship backend features and services using TypeScript or Python, Postgres, and AWS (Lambda, Fargate, API Gateway, S3, etc.) in a serverless environment.</li><li>Pick up frontend work (React/TypeScript) when a feature calls for it, and get comfortable enough with the full stack to see a feature through end-to-end.</li><li>Work closely with senior engineers to learn how our LLM-based systems are designed &#x2014; prompt handling, tool/function calling, observability &#x2014; and start contributing to that work yourself.</li><li>Write clean, well-tested code, and treat code review feedback as a fast track to leveling up.</li><li>Collaborate with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver features end-to-end.</li><li>Help troubleshoot issues in production, building comfort with both standard backend debugging and AI-specific failure modes (bad model output, latency, dropped tool calls).</li><li>Stay curious about emerging tools and practices in backend and AI engineering, and bring what you learn back to the team. </li></ul>Let&apos;s Connect If You Have <ul><li> 2&#x2013;3 years of professional software engineering experience, with backend-heavy work.</li><li>Proficient in TypeScript or Python, with real experience building database-backed features on a relational database (Postgres or similar) &#x2014; comfortable working with schemas and writing the queries a feature needs, even if deep query optimization isn&apos;t your focus yet.</li><li>Have built real features with React/TypeScript or similar &#x2014; you don&apos;t need deep frontend expertise, but you can pick it up and ship something when a feature calls for it.</li><li>Solid CS fundamentals &#x2014; you can reason about data structures, APIs, and system design even if you haven&apos;t built these systems at scale yet.</li><li>Real hands-on experience building something with an LLM &#x2014; a project, a prototype, a class assignment, a hackathon entry. You should understand the basics of prompt design and how/why an agent calls a tool; &quot;I&apos;ve used ChatGPT&quot; isn&apos;t what we mean. You don&apos;t need professional agentic-systems experience &#x2014; you do need to have actually built with these models, not just read about them.</li><li> A lean mindset &#x2014; you focus on delivering value, ask good questions, and iterate quickly on feedback.</li><li>Comfort working collaboratively in a remote, fast-paced environment, and a genuine desire to grow into a senior backend engineer. </li></ul>Our Commitment to You At Pebl, we&#x2019;re committed to supporting our team with comprehensive rewards and benefits designed to meet diverse needs across roles and locations. Our core offerings include: <ul><li>Flexible Time Off &#x2013; Take the time you need to recharge.</li><li>Parental Leave &#x2013; Support for growing families.</li><li>Health and Dental Insurance &#x2013; Where applicable, to cover you and your loved ones.</li><li>Retirement Savings + Employee Incentive Plan &#x2013; Plan for the future while sharing our success. </li></ul>Please visit our career page for more information.
