Junior Software Engineer

Build real public safety software with AI tools, modern web apps, and direct engineering mentorship.

Our client builds software used by public safety teams that handle sensitive criminal justice information. This is not another generic SaaS job. The product supports compliance, security, training, audits, validations, and workflows that agencies rely on every day.

This role is for a builder. Someone early-career, hungry, technical, and already using AI coding agents to make real things. You do not need every exact tool in their stack. You do need strong fundamentals, modern web app instincts, and proof that you can build, learn, explain, and improve fast.

You’ll work closely with the VP of Engineering in a small team with startup feel, real product goals, and room to grow. The team is modernizing older products, building new ones, and creating an internal AI-assisted development setup that gives engineers structure without killing creativity.

This role is remote-friendly, but Austin, TX is preferred. The team would love someone local who can occasionally collaborate in person for planning, onboarding, or higher-value working sessions. That said, Austin is not required. Strong candidates elsewhere in the U.S. will absolutely be considered.

Impact & Growth

You like building. You like showing your work. You use AI to move faster, but you still understand what the code is doing.

At Urrly, fairness matters. We use AI to review every application against the same clear requirements for the role. This means every candidate is evaluated on job-related factors like skills, certifications, and experience, not on personal attributes such as gender, race, age, or background. Our goal is to create a more objective, consistent, and equal opportunity hiring process for all applicants.
