junior developer
Green software engineer
A junior developer is a programmer early in their career, typically with less than two years of professional experience.
The role implies supervision and mentorship from more senior colleagues: We're hiring a junior developer to help with front-end work.
Junior developers are expected to learn on the job, ask questions, and gradually take on more complex tasks.
The designation is relative—what counts as junior varies by company and industry.
