Want to sharpen your development skills by building tools to power massive legal cases against some of the world's largest corporations? Gibbs Mura LLP, one of the "Titans of the Plaintiffs Bar," represents everyday people in high-stakes class action and mass action cases against banks, utilities, and tech companies.
We are looking for a Junior Software Developer to join our team on a 1-year contract. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys moving quickly, learning on the job, and building tools that make a real difference to how the business runs day to day.
You'll work on fast-paced coding projects alongside team members, join meetings to help scope out upcoming work, and build practical solutions — from integrating with relational databases via API to creating user-friendly internal apps that automate manual workflows.
What You'll Do
- Contribute to fast-paced development projects from planning through delivery
- Participate in team meetings to help scope requirements and break down work into manageable tasks
- Interact with relational databases through APIs to retrieve, update, and manage data
- Design and build simple internal applications and scripts to automate repetitive workflows
- Collaborate with teammates on code reviews, testing, and troubleshooting
- Adapt quickly as priorities shift across projects
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years experience with software development
- Bachelor's degree in CS/Software Engineering
- Familiarity with relational databases (e.g., SQL) and consuming or working with APIs
- Comfort with Python
- Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to learn new tools and technologies quickly
- Good communication skills — you'll be expected to contribute in scoping discussions, not just heads-down coding
- Ability to work well in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
Nice to Have
- Experience automating workflows or building internal tools
- Exposure to version control (e.g., Git)
- Some familiarity with HTML/CSS and JavaScript for front-end UI development
- Familiarity with sprint-based team environments
We are an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to a diverse, inclusive workplace, and welcome applicants of all backgrounds and experience levels.
