What is a day like for a Junior Developer?

The first day and the following few weeks you will dedicate to onboarding, where you will learn about the tools we use, the processes we follow, the company's history, and its culture. You will set up your workspace and workstation, equipping them with the necessary apps.

Once that is completed, you will be assigned education tasks, which involve applying the tools you have learned. Typically, these tasks are a small part of a real project that you will work on with the guidance and supervision of a mentor.

We expect a commitment to quality from every team member. New colleagues need to dedicate themselves to learning how to produce high-quality work.

As you gain more independence in your coding skills, tackle more complex tasks, and assist others, you will increase your capability to become a full-stack Software Engineer.

What do we expect from a Junior Developer?

The title says it all - we expect you to be a true Junior, with a hunger for information and advice from mentors and senior colleagues. You will learn by doing, each iteration and learning experience bringing you closer to a solid foundation and success.

However, to join successfully, a basic understanding and skill set in PHP, CSS, and MySQL is mandatory. You may have acquired this knowledge through your university studies, late-night tutorial sessions on YouTube, or by exploring code on your own. Occasionally, you will also be involved in quality assurance testing for the projects you are entrusted with maintaining. While prior work experience is not expected, starting knowledge is required.

Over time, every developer becomes full-stack capable. While most of our projects are based on Magento and PWA, there are exceptions involving Shopify, Laravel, or other platforms. Be prepared to develop a well-rounded skill set in eCommerce development!

Please note that if you are joining scandiweb remotely, you will need to have your own hardware setup. After the probation period, it is possible to arrange a hardware upgrade.

You must have:

Ubuntu (Linux) operating system for work. If you want to keep Windows, install Ubuntu alongside it (dual boot) instead of using Virtualbox, WSL, or any other method.
It is recommended to have a CPU i5 or AMD equivalent, SSD with 512GB, and 16GB of RAM.

Complete the necessary details, and we will promptly get back to you with the next steps.
The next steps typically involve a test assignment and a technical interview.

To successfully pass the test, a basic understanding of web applications developed using PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS will be needed. While your education course will cover topics like React, GraphQL, and deployment to cloud environments based on Kubernetes, initially you are required to possess only the fundamentals of web development.
