Role Summary

The Junior Product Developer supports the product development process from concept through production at Chai Vision. This role helps bring products to life by assisting with research, sample tracking, supplier communication, product updates, and follow-up.

The ideal candidate will have a strong sense of what makes a product high-quality, functional, and appealing to today's consumer. This person should be highly detail-oriented, with the ability to spot subtle differences in samples and ensure each product meets both brand standards and customer expectations.
