## 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., * 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., 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 port…
