Junior Software Programmer information

What are some common challenges a Junior Software Programmer might face during their first year on the job?

In their first year, Junior Software Programmers often encounter challenges such as adapting to new codebases, understanding development workflows, and balancing learning with productivity. They may also find it difficult to communicate technical issues clearly to team members or to estimate how long a task will take. However, most teams provide mentorship and regular feedback to help new programmers grow and integrate smoothly with the team’s processes.

What is a Junior Software Programmer?

A Junior Software Programmer is an entry-level professional responsible for writing, testing, and maintaining code under the guidance of more experienced developers. They typically work on specific tasks or small projects, learning industry practices and programming languages on the job. Junior programmers often collaborate with other team members to develop software solutions and resolve bugs, gaining experience as they grow into more advanced roles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Junior Software Programmer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Junior Software Programmer, you need a solid understanding of programming fundamentals, typically demonstrated by a degree in computer science or related field and experience with languages like Python, Java, or C++. Familiarity with version control systems (such as Git), basic debugging tools, and integrated development environments (IDEs) is also important. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication are essential soft skills that help you learn quickly and collaborate with team members. These skills ensure you can contribute to codebases efficiently, adapt to new technologies, and support team goals in a fast-evolving technical environment.

Job description

Job Opportunity: Software Developer - Junior

Employee type: Full time, Permanent

Location: Edmonton, Alberta (Hybrid)

Forcorp Solutions Inc., part of Forsite, is actively looking for a Software Developer - Intermediate/Senior to join our team in Edmonton, Alberta. We believe in flexibility, collaboration, and fostering an environment where everyone can thrive.

WHO WE ARE

Forcorp Solutions Inc. is part of Forsite, a geospatial intelligence company operating across Canada and the United States, formed through the unification of six established organizations including Forcorp and Forsite Consultants Ltd.


Since 1993, Forcorp Solutions Inc. has provided high quality and innovative services and solutions to industry, government, and academic organizations in the areas of natural resource management, information technology, health care, and data management. Our software helps manage natural resources across Alberta: platforms for forestry land management, weather data processing that feeds wildfire risk modelling, and systems that track watershed health and fish migration province-wide. We also build the software used to manage clinical trials in Alberta. Our success relies on developing an in-depth understanding of our clients' needs and delivering solutions and services that improve their business.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

We are seeking a junior software developer to join our Edmonton team. You will contribute to real projects from your first week, with code review and mentorship from senior developers. This is a good fit for someone early in their career who wants exposure to the full breadth of a project rather than a single layer of it.


Key aspects of the role:

  • Work as part of a small, collaborative agile development team focused on full-stack development, with exposure to every piece of the project
  • Build web-based applications in Java and Spring Framework, with a React/TypeScript frontend, backed by PostgreSQL and Apache Solr, using RabbitMQ for asynchronous processing (current stack: Java 21, Spring Boot 3, React 18)
  • Get exposure to spatial-oriented projects using open source libraries such as PostGIS, Geoserver, Geotools, and OpenLayers
  • Tackle hard technical problems with support from a team that values continuous learning
  • Focus on our web platforms (not mobile), though opportunities on our offline-first Android field data collection apps may arise later
  • Be introduced to AI-powered product features and AI coding tools used in daily development


WHAT YOU WILL NEED

Forcorp Solutions Inc. welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. If you're missing some of the technical skills listed below, we encourage you to apply anyway.


Must have:

  • Legally permitted to work in Canada
  • Degree in computing science or computer engineering
  • Solid fundamentals: data structures, SQL and relational databases, version control with Git, and the basics of how the web works
  • Programming experience in Java, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Python (coursework, co-op terms, and personal projects all count)


Assets include:

  • React
  • Spring
  • Linux
  • GIS


WHO YOU ARE

  • Early in your career and eager to learn the full breadth of a project
  • Curious and self-directed, comfortable picking things up from coursework, co-ops, or personal projects
  • A clear communicator who asks good questions
  • Open to feedback and mentorship from senior developers
  • Interested in how AI tools fit into a developer's workflow


WHAT WE PROVIDE

We offer a flexible and rewarding work environment, including:

  • Competitive salaries
  • Benefits, an RRSP program, and a health spending allowance
  • Hybrid work schedule (arrangements for new hires discussed during the interview process)
  • A collaborative, creative, small-team culture where your work ships and runs in production


DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION

At Forcorp Solutions Inc., we are committed to fostering a work environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed. We welcome applications from qualified individuals of all backgrounds. If you require accommodation during the hiring process, please let us know - we are happy to support you.

We thank all applicants for their interest; however, only candidates selected for interviews will be contacted.
