Apprentice, Software Engineering

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.
