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.
  • Based in Austin, TX (or within commuting distance).
  • 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.
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.
