Junior Software Engineer

Location: Reno, NV or Las Vegas, NV (Hybrid — 3 days in office)

👋 Who We Are

Bravo builds point-of-sale and compliance software for specialty retailers — pawn shops, firearms dealers, and the businesses most software companies ignore.

Our customers are independent shop owners and small businesses going up against billion-dollar retailers every single day. We give them the tools, speed, and compliance coverage that used to be reserved for enterprise — and we’re part of the reason they’re still competing, still winning, and still keeping their doors open.

We’re a tight-knit team that moves fast, cares deeply about quality, and holds ourselves to a high standard. We’re looking for people who share that drive.

🚀 The Role

We’re looking for a Junior Software Engineer who is ready to do real engineering work from day one. You’ll contribute to the development and maintenance of Bravo’s core software products, work directly alongside senior engineers on the team, and grow your skills in enterprise .NET and web development. This role reports to the EVP, Product + Engineering.

You would be a great fit if you:

• Write code that you’d be proud to show in a code review — clean, intentional, and thought through.

• Ask good questions, absorb feedback quickly, and apply it without being told twice.

• Get curious when something breaks rather than frustrated, and document what you learn.

• What success looks like in your first 90 days:

• You’ve shipped at least one feature or bug fix through the full development cycle — design, build, review, test, deploy — with minimal hand-holding.

• You understand Bravo’s core tech stack well enough to navigate the codebase independently and know where to look when something’s unclear.

• You’ve participated actively in sprint ceremonies, given useful code review feedback at least once, and started building a working relationship with your engineering teammates.

💪 What You'll Be Doing

• Write and maintain C# / .NET backend code and JavaScript / HTML / CSS front-end code that is readable, tested, and production-ready.

• Collaborate with senior engineers through code reviews, pair programming sessions, and sprint planning to level up your skills and contribute to team output.

• Debug and resolve software defects and root-cause issues, rather than patching symptoms.

• Build and consume REST APIs and work with SQL Server databases to support new and existing features.

• Contribute to AI-powered features and automation workflows — including MCP server integrations — under the guidance of senior engineers.

• Use AI coding tools to draft, review, and test code faster — and evaluate those outputs critically before they go anywhere near production.

• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies and hold yourself accountable to sprint commitments.

🧠 What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.

• Foundational C# and .NET skills — you understand object-oriented principles and can apply them.

• Working knowledge of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

• Exposure to SQL and relational database concepts.

• Familiarity with Git and collaborative version control workflows.

• Strong problem-solving habits — you break problems down before writing code, not after.

• Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to describe a technical issue without jargon when needed.

Nice to have:

• Internship, capstone project, or personal projects you can show and talk through.

• Exposure to Microsoft Azure or cloud fundamentals.

• Familiarity with ASP.NET / ASP.NET Core, Visual Studio, or Azure DevOps.

• Basic understanding of LLMs, prompt engineering, or agent-based systems.

• Experience with MCP servers, AI tool integrations, or API-based AI workflows.

🛠️ Tools & Tech Stack

• C# / .NET

• JavaScript, HTML, CSS

• SQL Server

• ASP.NET / ASP.NET Core

• Microsoft Azure (fundamentals)

• Git / Azure DevOps

• Visual Studio

• GitHub Copilot or equivalent AI coding assistant

🤖 AI Proficiency

Bravo is an AI-forward company. Every person on the team, regardless of level, is expected to actively use AI tools as part of how they work. This is a baseline expectation, not a differentiator.

As a Junior Software Engineer, that means using AI coding assistants to write, review, and test code faster — not as a shortcut, but as a way to raise your own output quality. You’ll also contribute to AI-powered features and MCP-based integrations as part of the team’s day-to-day engineering work. We want someone who already uses these tools regularly, knows where they save time, and knows when to rewrite the output from scratch.

🧭 How We Work

• Customers Are the Heroes of Our Story. Customers Are the Heroes of Our Story. Every product decision, support call, and feature request comes back to one question: does this make our customers’ business better? They’re the pawn shop owner who just put a second mortgage on the line. We build for them.

• Our Pulse Comes from Our People. Our Pulse Comes from Our People. We celebrate wins, show up on hard days, and share ideas without protecting turf. Collaboration here is how work actually gets done — not a talking point.

• Develop the Best Product. Develop the Best Product. We lead, not follow. We iterate until something is genuinely excellent, then we ask how to make it better. If you’re here to ship mediocre and move on, this isn’t the right place.

• Be a Force for Good. Be a Force for Good. Our software keeps gun transactions compliant, gives underserved consumers access to financial services, and keeps secondhand goods out of landfills. We take that seriously.

🎁 What We Offer

• Base salary + bonus — as applicable

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage

• 401(k)

• Generous PTO + paid holidays

• Hybrid schedule — 3 days in-office (Reno, NV or Las Vegas, NV) + 2 days remote

• A team that pushes you to grow and has your back when things get hard
