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)
