Chumley is an early-stage tech startup building software that gives tradespeople the flexibility and tools they need to focus on their work, streamlining workflows and keeping more engineers operating at optimum levels. The team is small, ambitious, and focused on shipping practical, high-impact tools used in the field every day.
The role
Chumley is looking for a Junior Software Engineer to help design, build, and scale internal and customer-facing products from the ground up. You will work end-to-end across the stack, with a strong focus on modern front-end tooling, performant back-end services, and deep integrations with internal systems like Salesforce.
What you'll be doing
- Building fast, responsive front-end interfaces using React and Vite.
- Designing and implementing robust back-end services and APIs.
- Integrating core products with Salesforce and other operational systems.
- Developing and maintaining features that support field engineers and operations teams.
- Experimenting with AI and chatbots to automate workflows and improve user and customer experiences.
- Writing clean, maintainable, and tested code, and participating in code reviews.
What we're looking for
- Strong proficiency with React, modern JavaScript/TypeScript, and Vite or equivalent tooling.
- Back-end experience (e.g. Node.js or similar) with RESTful or GraphQL APIs.
- Experience integrating or working with Salesforce (APIs, webhooks, or data pipelines).
- Good understanding of application architecture, performance, and security.
- Comfort working in a small, fast-moving startup, taking ownership from idea to deployment.
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience with AI, LLMs, or building chatbots (support bots, internal assistants, or workflow automations).
- Experience with CI/CD, cloud platforms, and DevOps practices.
- Knowledge of SQL/NoSQL databases and data modelling.
- Previous work on tools for trades, field services, logistics, or other operations-heavy environments.
What you'll get
- Real ownership over core product features used daily by tradespeople and operations teams.
- The chance to shape architecture, tooling, and best practices at an early-stage startup.
- Close collaboration with founders and a small, senior team, with direct impact on roadmap and priorities.
- A role that combines web apps, Salesforce, and AI automation to solve real-world problems at scale.
If you enjoy working across the stack, like shipping quickly, and want to use AI and modern tooling to build smarter products for real users, Chumley's Junior Software Engineer role could be a great fit.
