Junior Software information

What does a junior software engineer do?

A Junior Software Engineer assists in designing, developing, and maintaining software applications under the guidance of senior team members. They typically write and review code, fix bugs, and collaborate with other engineers to implement new features or improve existing ones. Junior Software Engineers are also expected to learn and adapt to new technologies, follow best coding practices, and participate in code reviews. Their role is essential in supporting project development and gaining hands-on experience to advance their careers.

What are some common challenges faced by junior software engineers when transitioning from academic projects to real-world development teams?

Junior Software Engineers often find that real-world development involves more complex codebases, collaborative workflows, and the use of industry-standard tools, which can be quite different from academic projects. Adapting to agile methodologies, participating in code reviews, and learning to communicate effectively with cross-functional teams are typical challenges. Additionally, juniors may need to quickly get up to speed with version control systems and continuous integration tools, all while balancing learning with delivering work on tight deadlines. Supportive mentors and structured onboarding can help ease this transition.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a junior software developer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Junior Software Developer, you need a solid understanding of programming languages (such as Java, Python, or JavaScript), problem-solving skills, and typically a degree in computer science or related field. Familiarity with version control systems like Git, basic knowledge of databases, and exposure to IDEs and debugging tools are commonly required. Strong communication, eagerness to learn, and the ability to work collaboratively help set you apart in this entry-level position. These skills and qualities are crucial for effectively contributing to development projects, adapting to evolving technologies, and supporting team goals.

Junior Software Engineer (AI-Forward)

Texas Sports Academy Main

Austin, TX โ€ข On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 19 hours ago


Job description

As a Junior Software Engineer with Texas Sports Academy, you'll help build the software that runs our school, student records, academic mastery tracking, training data, parent portals, admissions, and the AI-powered tools our guides and coaches use every day. This is an early-career, AI-forward seat. You'll work directly with the founders and senior engineers, ship code every week with AI in your loop, and grow into the LLM-powered features that make our school feel nothing like a traditional school.

What You Will Be Doing
  • Building and shipping product features across the full stack every week, with AI coding tools running alongside you.
  • Contributing to real LLM-powered product features: tutoring agents, parent-facing copilots, coach-facing dashboards, retrieval over student data, and the evals behind them.
  • Working directly with the founders and senior engineers on scope and trade-offs, no PM layer in between.
  • Picking up ownership of smaller systems end-to-end and growing into bigger ones.
  • Running your own AI coding workflow, prompts, subagents, custom tools, MCP servers, and getting sharper at it every week.
  • Writing evals and regression tests for AI features the same way you'd write unit tests for classical code.
What You Will NOT Be Doing
  • Pretending AI is optional. If you're not already coding with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or an equivalent agent loop, this role is not for you.
  • Sitting in status meetings all day. Few meetings, more shipping.
  • Working on a narrow slice of a giant codebase.
  • Waiting around for tickets. You'll be in the room when we decide what to build.
Key Responsibilities
  • Ship production code and AI features that real students, parents, and staff rely on every day.
  • Own smaller systems and features end-to-end as you ramp up.
  • Move fast. Features go from idea to production in days, not quarters, without breaking things.
  • Level up your AI-engineering chops alongside a senior team.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Math, or Physics.
  • 0 to 2 years of full-time engineering experience. Strong internships, side projects, and shipped personal work count.
  • Daily, fluent use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Aider, or equivalent) as your default way of writing software.
  • Comfortable in a modern web stack (TypeScript / React / Node or Python / Postgres / AWS or GCP).
  • Excellent written English.
  • Based in Austin, TX.
Nice to Have
  • At least one shipped LLM-powered project, school project, hackathon, or side project, with some kind of eval story.
  • Agent frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, Mastra, custom), vector search / RAG, evals (Braintrust, LangSmith, custom), prompt caching, MCP servers, structured output / tool-use, or voice agents.
  • Public GitHub or a personal AI project we can actually try.
  • A personal project you built because you wanted to.
  • Background in education, edtech, or sports.
