Junior Software Developer (*-Month Contract)- job post Kai Cao Inc

Job Summary

Kai Cao Inc. is seeking a Junior Software Developer for a nine-month contract position to support the development of internal engineering tools, automation software, and AI-enabled applications.

This role is ideal for a recent graduate or early-career developer looking to gain practical experience building software used in real industrial environments. You'll be working across a mix of internal and client-facing projects — likely several at once — so we're looking for someone who can move between codebases, pick things up quickly, and take real ownership of the work rather than just executing tickets.

This position reports directly to the supervisor, so clear, proactive communication matters as much as the code itself — flagging blockers early, writing things down clearly, and documenting decisions so someone else on the team can follow your work without a long explanation.

Duties

You'll likely be involved in multiple active projects at once, spanning internal tools and client-facing applications, so comfort moving between different codebases and priorities is important.

Responsibilities may include:

Developing web applications using React
Developing desktop applications using Python or C#
Supporting AI and computer vision projects
Database design and backend development
Testing, debugging, and validation of software applications
Preparing technical documentation and user guides
Assisting with software architecture and system design
