SWE Apprentice Program – Texas Full Time NEW

The Software Engineering role is focused on building and shipping production-grade software across the frontend, backend, and the systems in between. You’ll collaborate with product, design, and AI/ML teams to deliver reliable user-facing experiences, robust APIs, and scalable services.

What you’ll work on:

• Building and iterating on web product surfaces (dashboards, internal tooling, customer-facing apps)
• Designing and implementing backend services and APIs (auth, data access, integrations, workflows)
• Working with data pipelines and application data models to support AI-enabled features
• Improving performance, reliability, observability, and developer experience
• Contributing to deployment and release workflows (CI/CD), and operating what you ship

Company Description

LUNARTECH is a frontier deep-tech company focused on artificial intelligence across education, healthcare, aerospace, and other high-impact sectors. Recognized by publications including Forbes, Entrepreneur, Insider, Bloomberg, and Benzinga, the company has built an international presence with offices in North America and Europe and a team operating across seven continents and ten countries. Through more than 77 specialized AI programs, collaborations with the world’s largest open-source educational nonprofit, and engagement with over 1 million professionals across 144+ countries, LUNARTECH has established a global platform at the intersection of AI education, applied systems, and company building.

The firm is defined by execution. LUNARTECH engineered solutions and partnered with numerous industry leading companies that operate in the spaces of healthcare, aerospace, uav’s, and engines, alongside cybersecurity, clean energy, robotics, world models, and other frontier initiatives. Through LUNARTECH Labs, it delivers end-to-end AI and data solutions, from data infrastructure and model development to deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement, serving enterprises, institutions, and governments. It also develops Phoenix, its proprietary AI-powered productivity and automation platform with more than +300 AI Agents supporting research, analysis, operations, and workflow execution at scale.

At its core, LUNARTECH is built on a clear principle: advanced technology matters only when it creates practical advantage. The company’s focus is to turn frontier AI into secure, scalable, and operational capability, enabling organizations to move with greater speed, sharper insight, and stronger strategic control.

Why this role is a career accelerator

LunarTech operates at the frontier of applied AI and frontier technologies — where real constraints, real users, and real stakes meet cutting-edge engineering. You won’t be learning in the abstract. You’ll be learning by building.

Our work spans high-impact domains such as:

• AI engineering and production-grade ML systems
• Voice AI and conversational agents
• Legal AI and workflow automation
• Aerospace and advanced systems
• Healthcare and clinical-adjacent applications
• Manufacturing and industrial engineering use cases

We build in-house, end-to-end. That means you’ll see and contribute to the full stack of what it takes to ship: product thinking, UI/UX, data pipelines, model experimentation, evaluation, deployment, tooling, and iteration. We don’t outsource the hard parts — we own them.

This role is intentionally selective. We protect our intellectual property, we move fast, and we expect focus. In return, you get an environment designed to create what we call “20X engineers”: builders who can take ambiguous problems, execute with discipline, and reliably deliver outcomes.

If you are serious about accelerating your trajectory, this role is built to compress years of industry learning into months. It’s a bridge from “academy-level knowledge” to “industry-grade execution” — with mentorship, feedback loops, and real deliverables.

What we invest in you:

• Structured mentorship and direct guidance from senior engineers
• Hands-on projects with clear standards and measurable outcomes
• Tools, playbooks, and internal guides to help you move fast
• An engineering environment built for experimentation and shipping
• Collaboration with a high-caliber network of builders across the organization

These openings are limited. When they open, strong candidates move quickly — because the upside is obvious.

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering fundamentals and ability to ship end-to-end features
• Experience building modern web applications (frontend + backend)
• Comfortable designing APIs, data models, and service boundaries
• Familiarity with cloud/deployment basics, CI/CD, and production operations (monitoring, logging, incident response)
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with engineers and non-engineers
• High ownership: you can take a problem from ambiguity to a reliable, tested deliverable
• Bonus: experience with AI-enabled product features, evaluation workflows, or data pipelines

Screening Questions

To ensure the role is a good fit, please confirm the following upfront:

• You can complete a practical technical assignment as part of the evaluation process.
• You can work reliably in a remote setup and communicate progress proactively.
• You’re willing to sign onboarding documents prior to starting (including MoU, NDA, and related agreements).
