Junior Nodejs Developer

Job Description Embark on your development career with CodeVista as a Junior Node.js Developer in a fully remote position. Design and implement backend services using Node.js, collaborate on exciting projects from anywhere in the US, and enjoy flexible schedules. Gain hands-on experience with modern JavaScript frameworks, databases, and agile methodologies in a supportive, entry-level role that emphasizes growth and work-life balance. Full Description As a Junior Node.js Developer at CodeVista, you'll dive into the world of backend development in a completely remote environment, allowing you to work from the comfort of your home or any location in the US. This entry-level role is designed for motivated individuals who are passionate about coding and eager to build a strong foundation in web technologies. Your primary responsibilities will include developing and maintaining server-side applications using Node.js and Express.js. You'll create RESTful APIs to handle data exchanges, integrate with databases like MongoDB or PostgreSQL, and ensure applications are scalable and efficient. Collaborating with a distributed team, you'll participate in code reviews, debugging sessions, and iterative development cycles using agile practices. Expect to write clean, testable code and contribute to features that enhance user experiences in our web platforms. In this remote setup, we prioritize effective communication and collaboration. You'll use tools like Slack for daily interactions, Zoom for virtual stand-ups and meetings, and Jira or Trello for task tracking. Asynchronous work is encouraged, so you'll manage your time independently while staying aligned with team goals through shared documentation on Google Workspace or Notion. We provide all necessary software licenses and support a bring-your-own-device policy with stipends for upgrades. For an entry-level developer, this role focuses on foundational skills rather than advanced expertise. You'll learn best practices in JavaScript ES6+, asynchronous programming, and error handling. Opportunities to explore npm packages, testing with Jest or Mocha, and deployment on cloud platforms like AWS or Heroku will be part of your growth path. Mentorship from senior developers will guide you through challenges, fostering a learning culture where questions are welcomed. CodeVista values diversity and inclusion in our remote teams, ensuring everyone has equal access to resources. You'll contribute to a positive, feedback-driven environment that balances productivity with well-being. This position offers a chance to work on real-world projects, from e-commerce backends to data-driven apps, helping you build a portfolio while advancing your career in software development. Join us to leverage the flexibility of remote work—no commute, customizable hours, and the ability to integrate personal life seamlessly. We're committed to your professional development with regular training sessions and performance reviews tailored to entry-level growth.
