Entry-Level Software Developer Apprenticeship

About the Opportunity Flatiron School is offering an apprenticeship opportunity for early-career developers to earn income while learning. Apprentices will enroll in Flatiron’s AI and Data Science part-time bootcamp and be matched with one of our employer partners for a paid apprenticeship throughout the duration of your course. This is a unique opportunity to develop skills in AI and data science while gaining hands-on industry experience. As an apprentice, you’ll contribute to software products, collaborate with experienced engineers, and build your portfolio with production-ready work.
