About

We’re transforming property tech! Purchasing Platform Inc. is a next generation marketplace serving the property management sector. Leveraging our market knowledge and tech savvy, we revolutionize the procurement of products and services across the property management sector. By centralizing procurement, our software brings stronger corporate controls and greater spend visibility to portfolio operators of all sizes. About the Role
We're looking for a Software Engineering Apprentice to help us build, integrate, and ship AI-powered features on top of our existing product. You'll work directly with our engineering team in Ruby and JavaScript/TypeScript, writing real code in our production stack from day one — not toy projects or sandboxed exercises.
A core part of this role is using AI tools to replace fragile, manual processes with scalable automation — connecting systems across Sales, Operations, and Product so that our team spends less time on repetitive work and more time on things that matter.
We are not looking for someone who will manage the status quo. We want someone who ships, iterates, and actively looks for the next thing to improve.
Apprenticeship Details
Job Title:
Software Engineering Apprentice
Type:
Part-Time (20 hrs/week)
Location:
Hybrid in Chicago, IL (1-2 days in office per week)
Compensation:
Paid
Length of Apprenticeship:
6-months
Estimated Start Date:
June 1, 2026
This is a paid, part-time role (20 hrs/week) with a genuine path to full-time employment for the right person. You will be expected to roll up your sleeves, ask good questions, and take ownership of your work from day one.
What you’ll be doing
Key Responsibilities
Software Development
Write clean, well-tested code in Ruby and JavaScript/TypeScript alongside our engineering team
Build and ship product features end-to-end — from scoping and implementation through deployment and monitoring
Contribute to code reviews, technical discussions, and engineering best practices
Debug and improve existing systems, reducing technical debt and fragile manual workarounds
AI Integration & Automation
Build AI-powered features and workflows using LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) in our existing stack
Connect internal and third-party tools via APIs and integrations (CRMs, project trackers, databases)
Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Ops, and Product to identify and automate high-impact manual processes
Document integration patterns, experiments, and results clearly for the wider team
What You'll Own
Features shipped per quarter — measured by test coverage and production stability
Reduction in manual processing time across workflows you automate — tracked against a defined roadmap
Quality of code contributions: well-documented, reviewed, and built with the next engineer in mind
Breadth and reliability of integrations built and maintained
What Success Looks Like Over the Next 6 Months
Within the first 30 days, you will have a working understanding of our codebase and stack, have shipped your first pull request to production, and identified at least one automation opportunity to bring to your manager.
By month three, you are contributing independently to feature work in Ruby and JavaScript/TypeScript, have shipped at least one AI-powered integration, and engineering trusts you to own a slice of the product.
By month six, you are being seriously evaluated for a full-time offer. Multiple workflows have been meaningfully automated, your code is stable and well-reviewed, and the team sees you as a reliable contributor across the stack. What you'll bring to the role
What We’re Looking For
Experience & Qualifications
Working knowledge of Ruby or JavaScript/TypeScript — you've built something real with at least one of them
Familiarity with web development fundamentals: REST APIs, databases, version control with Git
Hands-on experience with at least one LLM API or AI framework — you've integrated AI into a project
Genuine curiosity about applied AI — you follow the space and have opinions about what's useful
Strong communicator — you can explain what you built, why it matters, and what comes next
High ownership mindset — you surface issues proactively and follow through without being chased
Tools We Use
Languages: Ruby, JavaScript / TypeScript
AI APIs & frameworks: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, LangChain
Automation & integrations: REST APIs, webhooks, Zapier, Make (Integromat)
Data: PostgreSQL, Supabase, Redis
Dev tooling: Git / GitHub, VS Code, CI/CD via GitHub Actions
Collaboration: Slack, Notion, Linear — you'll be connecting AI to these too
$30 - $35 an hour What You'll Get
Competitive hourly pay — this is a paid apprenticeship
Direct mentorship from engineers working across our full product stack
Real ownership of features and automations that ship to production
A portfolio of shipped code and live integrations you can point to
A defined path to a full-time Software Engineer role
