About The Role
At Walr, the Associate Software Engineer, Frontend is an early-career role focused on building strong foundational frontend development skills whilst contributing to production web applications. This role is ideal for someone who understands coding fundamentals, thinks critically about how and why code works, and is eager to grow into a well-rounded engineer.
You'll work closely with experienced engineers who will provide guidance and mentorship as you develop your technical capabilities. Whilst AI coding assistants are part of our toolkit, we're looking for engineers who understand the fundamentals deeply enough to evaluate, debug, and improve any code—whether written by humans or generated by AI.
This is a role where you'll learn to be an AI-enhanced engineer, not an AI-replaced one. We're investing in building the senior engineers of tomorrow, starting with solid foundations today.

We Celebrate as A Team: Walr is a globally distributed team that equally emphasizes individual accountability and collective success.
