Junior Developer – Vibe Coder

Whirlwind, an award-winning digital agency, is setting up Whirlwind Labs — our experimental playground where ideas turn into tiny, powerful tools.

Think: Chrome extensions, calculators, SaaS-style micro tools and productivity plugins.

We’re looking for a junior developer who lives at the intersection of scrappy execution and modern dev environments — someone who gets vibe coding. If you love building fast, prototyping with tools like Replit, Bolt.new, or Lovable and turning random ideas into working products — we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Build and ship small tools under the Whirlwind Labs banner
• Work with platforms like Replit, Bolt.new, Lovable, and more
• Use AI-assisted workflows smartly, but know how to debug when AI fails
• Create MVPs of web tools, browser extensions, or SaaS-style utilities
• Collaborate on product ideas that solve real-world digital problems
• Document, test, and iterate fast — we believe in launching ugly
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• You’ve built something — even if it’s small or weird (Show us! GitHub links, Loom demos, Replit projects anything works)
• Familiar with JS/TS, HTML/CSS, and basic backend flows (Firebase, Supabase, etc.)
• Comfortable working in low-code/high-speed environments
• Ability to work independently and figure things out
• Hunger to learn, build fast, and grow with the company
  
  

Bonus If You

• Have shipped something on Product Hunt, Gumroad, or similar
• Enjoy debugging or reverse-engineering when AI hits a wall
• Follow indie hackers or are inspired by the maker movement
• Have an eye for UX/UI or front-end polish
  
  

What You’ll Get

• Chance to lead Whirlwind Lab's — build your own legacy
• Flexible work setup (we care about output, not hours)
• Direct mentorship, freedom to build and a culture that respects builders
• Potential for a long-term role and upside as Whirlwind Labs evolves
  
  

How To Apply

• Send a quick intro (no long cover letters needed)
• Share 1-2 things you’ve built (bonus: build something new just for this!)
• Drop your GitHub, Replit, or whatever showcases your vibe
  
  

We know this isn’t your typical job post. But we’re not looking for a typical engineer. We’re looking for someone curious, hands-on and obsessed with bringing small ideas to life. If that’s you, we would love to speak with you.

Type: Full-time or Contract-to-Hire

Experience Level: Junior

Compensation: Budget-constrained but fair (we’ll grow together)
