Software Engineer (New Grad)
About Cherry
Cherry is a fast-growing, remote-first fintech startup transforming the way patients access and finance medical care. We’re building seamless, inclusive financial products that empower people to get the care they need—without the stress. Our mission is rooted in brilliant simplicity, thoughtful collaboration, and a strong sense of ownership across everything we do.
We're looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join our team. You'll lead end-to-end development—building robust APIs, crafting intuitive user experiences, and mentoring others as we scale our product.
About the Role
We are looking for a Junior Full Stack Software Engineer to join us as part of Cherry's New Grad Program. You'll contribute to real product development from day one, across both frontend and backend, supported by a dedicated mentor and a peer buddy. We heavily utilize AI in how we build — you'll be encouraged to use modern AI tooling (Claude, Copilot, and more) to learn and ship faster. If you're passionate about building end-to-end software features, intuitive UIs, and scalable backend systems, we'd love to hear from you.

Design, develop, and maintain both frontend interfaces and backend APIs/services
Build responsive, accessible UI components using modern frontend frameworks
Work with product, design, and DevOps teams to ship complete end-to-end features
Write clean, testable, and maintainable code across the full stack
Use AI tools effectively to accelerate development, while owning the quality of what you ship
Participate in code reviews and technical discussions
Contribute to debugging, optimizing, and improving existing systems
Learn and grow under the guidance of experienced engineers
Requirements
Graduating by June 2026 (at the latest) from Computer Engineering or a related department
Strong academic background
Hands-on experience in at least one backend language (Node.js, Python, Java, or Go)
Familiarity with a modern frontend framework (React, Vue, or Angular)
Basic understanding of APIs, databases (SQL/NoSQL), and server-side logic
Understanding of HTML, CSS, and responsive design fundamentals
Internship or part-time experience in fullstack or frontend/backend development
Comfort using AI developer tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot)
Strong communication skills in Turkish and English
Bonus: GitHub projects, hackathon participation, or open-source contributions
Perks & Benefits
Monthly net salary of $2,750
Private, all-inclusive health insurance with dental
Quarterly bonus system
Stock options as part of our long-term growth plan
Remote-first team with a collaborative, mission-driven culture
All-expenses-covered annual Cherry retreats (Turkey & U.S.)
Annual education budget for technical improvement
P.S. There will be a hackathon step in the interview process, and everything will be held in English.
