Junior AI Software Engineer (Austin, TX)

Texas Sports Academy is seeking a Junior Software Engineer to help build the software that supports their educational operations and AI tools. The role involves developing and shipping product features across the full stack while collaborating directly with founders and senior engineers.

What you'll do:

• 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

What they're looking for:

• 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
• 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
