Junior Software Engineer

Title: Junior Software Engineer Location: Tel Aviv-Yafo, Tel Aviv District, Israel

As a Junior Software Developer at Guardz, you'll join one of our R&D groups and learn from experienced engineers how real-world security products are built. You'll work across the stack, contribute to features that protect small and medium-sized businesses, and gradually take ownership of product capabilities from idea to production. We care about strong fundamentals and a hunger to learn more than years of experience.

Please note: This is a 6-month position with an option to extend.

Responsibilities

• Develop features across the stack (APIs, data stores, and user-facing components) with guidance and mentorship from senior engineers
• Write clean, tested, maintainable code, and take part in code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback
• Gradually take ownership of features, from requirements discussions and technical design through deployment and monitoring in production
• Collaborate with Product Managers, designers, and fellow engineers to deliver capabilities that matter to service providers and small businesses
• Use AI coding tools as part of your daily workflow to build, debug, and learn faster
• Learn our product, our customers, and the security domain, and bring fresh ideas to the team

Requirements

• B.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field from an accredited university.
• Strong CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design
• Hands-on coding experience through academic projects, personal projects, hackathons, or an internship
• Familiarity with JavaScript/TypeScript
• Hands-on experience using AI coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude) for writing, debugging, and refactoring code
• A fast, self-driven learner who enjoys solving problems
• Product-oriented mindset and curiosity about how users experience what you build
• A team player with good communication skills, who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic startup

Advantages

• Experience with Node.js and/or React
• Familiarity with databases such as PostgreSQL or Redis
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS/GCP), Docker, or CI/CD pipelines
• Basic understanding of software architecture, such as APIs, microservices, or message queues
• Interest in cybersecurity
• Experience with Rust
