Junior Engineer

About SugarAI

SugarAI is redefining CRM for the age of AI.

We’re delivering on the original promise of CRM—turning fragmented customer and revenue signals into clear, prioritized action. Instead of more dashboards or surface-level insights, we help teams focus on what matters most and know exactly what to do next.

More than two decades after our founding, we’re entering a new chapter with clarity and momentum—building intelligent, intuitive solutions that work within the flow of how teams actually sell and serve. We’re focused on solving complex, real-world challenges where relationships, context, and precision make all the difference.

Our global team is united by a shared commitment to impact, ownership, and continuous growth. We create an environment where thoughtful ideas move quickly, where people are trusted to lead, and where flexibility supports how great work gets done.

If you’re excited to help shape what’s next in AI-driven CRM—and build technology that drives real outcomes—we’d love to meet you.

Where You Fit In

We are looking for a curious, motivated Junior Software Engineer to join our team and help build the next generation of SugarAI software products. In this role, you will be a member of a Scrum Team working alongside experienced engineers to develop components for various products, with a focus on writing reliable, maintainable, and well-tested code. You will be encouraged to learn quickly, ask great questions, and develop your skills across the full software development lifecycle. Success in this role means being eager to grow, receptive to feedback, and enthusiastic about collaborating with teammates and contributing to shared goals.

This role operates on a hybrid model, with a mix of remote work and in-office collaboration at our Craiova location, specifically, working in-office a minimum of 3 days per week.

Impact You Will Make

• Embrace an AI-assisted approach to software development, using GAI tools across all stages of the SDLC to accelerate your growth and deliver quality work

• Learn and adopt team-standard GAI workflows and tools as part of your day-to-day development practice

• Produce clean, readable code that follows team standards and best practices

• Implement well-defined features or sub-components under the guidance of senior engineers

• Write unit tests to verify functionality and support code quality

• Identify and fix bugs prior to feature delivery

• Participate in code reviews, both receiving and providing constructive feedback

• Participate in scrum ceremonies, deliver on sprint commitments, and communicate progress clearly

What You Will Bring

• Familiarity with or enthusiasm for AI-assisted coding tools (e.g. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) — prior experience a plus, but eagerness to learn is required

• 0–2 years of experience with software development; internship, academic projects, or personal projects are welcome

• Foundational knowledge of Object Oriented Programming concepts

• Basic experience with web programming (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or a backend language)

• Exposure to version control using Git

• Familiarity with unit testing concepts or frameworks

• Basic understanding of RESTful APIs — consuming or building

• Exposure to SQL or relational database concepts

• Familiarity with Agile methodologies (Scrum, sprints, standups) a plus

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or similar), containers, or CI/CD pipelines is a plus

• Strong desire to learn, grow, and take on increasing responsibility over time

• Good communication skills and comfort working in a collaborative, cross-functional team

We understand that no candidate is perfectly qualified for any job. Experience comes in different forms; many skills are transferable; and passion goes a long way. Even more important than your resume is a clear demonstration of dedication, impact, and the ability to thrive in a fluid and collaborative environment. We want you to learn new things in this role, and we encourage you to apply if your experience is close to what we’re looking for. We also know that diversity of background and thought makes for better problem solving and more creative thinking, which is why we're dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team.
