What are the responsibilities and job description for the Junior React Developer position at Pixel Systems?
We are adding a Junior React Developer to help us build clean, functional user interfaces for our operations clients. We are assisting a major logistics provider with a project to rebuild their legacy scheduling systems, and you will work on the React components that their dispatchers and administrators use every day. This is a full-time, permanent position with competitive pay. To help you get up to speed quickly while enjoying flexibility, we use a hybrid workplace model. This means you will spend a couple of days a week collaborating in person at our shared workspace, and the rest of the week working from your home setup.
About Pixel Systems
We are a small software agency that builds the tools teams actually use. We do not do flashy consumer apps or marketing sites. Instead, we focus on the practical stuff: admin panels, CRM integrations, and database migrations. Our clients come to us when they need to replace a spreadsheet with a real database or get their different software tools to communicate with each other.
We believe that working code is better than a perfect plan that never ships. Our approach is straightforward. We provide fixed quotes, do weekly demos, and hand over the code, documentation, and walkthrough videos when we finish. We use reliable, well-tested technologies like Node, React, and Postgres because we want the software we build to be stable and easy to maintain. We are a team of developers and designers who prefer solving real operational headaches over chasing the latest trends.
The Role
In this role, you will help us build clean user interfaces and organize front-end code. Since you are early in your career, we do not expect you to know everything on day one. You will spend your time building forms, rendering tables, and connecting React components to APIs.
The work is highly practical. You will find yourself moving data between systems, translating design updates into functional code, and addressing layout bugs. You will work alongside developer-designers who will help you work through complex tasks and teach you how to write clear, maintenance-friendly applications.
What You Bring
To do well in this position, you need to be comfortable with core web concepts and basic coding. We look for colleagues who are highly organized and write readable code over clever hacks.
You should be someone who enjoys building functional software that solves daily operational problems. We do not build flashy visuals; we build clean forms and data-heavy tables that need to work reliably every time. You should also be comfortable asking questions when you are stuck and documenting your work clearly so others can follow it.
Helpful Background
We do not have strict educational or experience bars, but it helps if you have some familiarity with the following:
Working at Pixel Systems
We operate on a collaborative hybrid structure, allowing us to combine the focus of home working with the collaboration of our team workdays. We do not have layers of management or complex bureaucracies. You will work directly with the developers who design the software, which is a great way to learn how complete applications are planned and delivered.
The tools we build help real people get their work done. When you ship code, you will see how it makes life easier for an operations manager or a warehouse supervisor. We work standard hours, respect personal time, and value a calm, drama-free working environment.
We are a small team that values honest work and sensible engineering. If you want to build practical software that works, learn from experienced developers, and grow your engineering skills in a straightforward environment, this is a great place to start.
