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 part-time bootcamp and be matched with one of Bletchley Fellowship’s employer partners for a paid apprenticeship throughout the duration of the program.
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. At the same time, you’ll deepen your understanding of data and machine learning to become a more versatile, full-stack software developer.
This is a full-time opportunity, 40 hours/week (20 hours coursework and 20 hours apprentice work) for 14 months. The apprenticeship earnings will more than cover the tuition cost of the bootcamp.

Write clean, maintainable and testable code using modern frameworks and tools
Collaborate in sprint-based workflows and participate in code reviews
