Company Description
Barrett Solutions LLC is a software company specializing in data aggregation, AI automation, and full stack development. We create high-performance AI tools that integrate seamlessly into real business workflows. Our work spans industries from fashion trend forecasting to kids’ enrichment and combines advanced data pipelines, multi-model AI integrations, and clean, intuitive interfaces.
We focus on delivering solutions that are maintainable, scalable, and based on proven standards. Whether building data ingestion pipelines, connecting LLMs to internal systems, or orchestrating complex automations, we emphasize structured, reliable engineering over throwaway prompt hacks.
Role: Junior Software Engineer
We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer with strong web application experience across both front end and back end, and an eagerness to grow in AI engineering and automation. This role is ideal for someone early in their career who thrives in fast-moving environments, can work with a high degree of independence, enjoys solving complex problems, and wants to learn by doing in a small, ambitious team.
As one of our earliest technical hires, you will support the design and implementation of applications, integrations, and workflows that apply AI and automation to real business functions. You’ll work across the stack, with a focus on JavaScript/Node.js, while building reliable systems that make a direct impact for clients. You will also be a key player on our team so will need to work well in a small team environment. With this in mind, this role will start as 100% onsite in Downtown Ann Arbor with an opportunity to move to more flexibility with more experience in the role.
