Junior Web Development Jobs in Ontario (NOW HIRING)

Position Summary:

TrendAI is looking for a creative and curious Applied AI Junior Web Developer to join our growing team. This role is all about building the "face" of our digital presence: fast, beautiful, modern websites (not web apps or dashboards) that tell the story of our security innovations to a global audience.

In this role, you'll be at the forefront of how AI is changing the way we build for the web. You'll work with a modern tech stack for content-heavy websites (think Astro, React, Tailwind CSS, and a headless CMS) and learn how to use AI agents to turn big ideas into polished web experiences.

We're looking for someone who's ready to learn, grow, and make a real impact from day one. If you're a recent graduate or someone just starting their web development journey with a passion for the latest web technologies, and a "let's try it" attitude toward AI, we'd love to help you kickstart your career here!

Is this role for you? This position helps build our public-facing corporate websites: globally available, content-authored by marketing in a headless CMS, and optimized for speed and accessibility. You don't need professional experience to apply, personal projects and coursework count, but if building interactive web applications or dashboards excites you more than content-driven websites, this particular posting isn't the right fit for you today. Take a look at Applied AI Sr. Front-End Developer instead. (There's more on how the two tracks connect under "Cross-Role Opportunity" below.)

Responsibilities:

• Crafting Modern Web Experiences: You'll help build and maintain high-performance public websites using Astro, React, and a headless CMS. You'll focus on creating sites that are not only visually stunning but also lightning-fast, accessible, and easy for our marketing team to update with new content.
  

• Styling with Speed: You'll get hands-on with Tailwind CSS and modern component libraries like Preline. You'll learn how to build consistent, beautiful interfaces without reinventing the wheel every time.
  

• AI-Powered Development: You'll use AI agents (like Claude Code, Kiro, and GitHub Copilot) to help you design, write code, debug issues, test, document and experiment with new UI patterns. We'll show you how to use these tools ethically to boost your productivity and learn faster.
  

• Growing Your Testing Skills: Start building a test-driven mindset using frameworks like Cypress or Playwright. You'll learn how AI can help you write tests and catch edge cases you might not have thought of on your own.
  

• End-to-End Ownership: Develop ownership of tasks from start to finish. We believe in giving you real responsibility while ensuring you have the guidance you need to succeed.
  

• Continuous Learning: You'll have opportunities for learning and improvement, to explore new AI tools, frontend technologies, and best practices. We encourage curiosity and experimentation!
  

• Contributing to Team Knowledge: As you learn, you'll help document processes and share insights with the R&D team. Your fresh perspective as someone new to the field is valuable to us!
  

Qualifications:

• What to show us: We'd love to see a link to a real, live website you've built (even a simple one). Bonus points if it pulls content from a CMS or you can walk us through how someone non-technical could update it.
  

• The Fundamentals: You have a solid grasp of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You understand how the web works and how to make things look good on different screen and device sizes.
  

• Modern Tools: You're experienced with TypeScript, React, and ideally Astro. If you've built a real website (for yourself, a class, or a business) using these, we want to see it!
  

• Styling Enthusiast: You enjoy making beautiful web experiences and are interested in exploring component libraries like Preline, Flowbite, or DaisyUI to build interfaces quickly.
  

• AI Tooling Proficiency: While you don't need to be an AI expert, it would be a great advantage if you had experience using AI tools to increase productivity and were willing to experiment with modern AI web technologies.
  

• Cloud Awareness: You're interested in learning how the "backend" of a website works, specifically within the AWS ecosystem.
  

• Problem-Solving Mindset: A proactive approach to tackling challenges and the resilience to work through problems when they arise.
  

• Team Player Attitude: Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with others. We value respect, openness, and the willingness to both teach and learn.
  

• Growth Mindset: Eagerness to learn new tools and technologies, participate in hackathon events, and the ability to adapt quickly in our fast-paced environment.
  

• Testing Curiosity: Some exposure to or interest in testing practices (TDD, Cypress, Playwright) is a plus.
  

• Soft Skills: Exceptional attention to detail, a proactive approach to problem-solving, and a growth mindset.
  

• Bonus:

  • Basic knowledge of cloud services (AWS), experience with Infrastructure as Code (AWS CDK) or containerization (Docker)

  • Experience with any AI development tools or productivity enhancer

  • Contributions to open-source projects or a strong portfolio of personal projects

Cross-Role Opportunity:

This posting is scoped to public website and CMS work, and that's what we're hiring for. Our web development team (public websites) and front-end development team (interactive web applications) share the same leadership, mentorship, AI tooling, and technical support, so depending on project needs and your interests, there may be an opportunity to move into front-end development work on our Cybersecurity Platform. For this role, please apply based on the website experience you have today.
