Software Engineering Apprentice

A Builders’ Apprenticeship

This isn’t a place for coffee runs or filler tasks. We’re looking for people who learn by building; by trying, testing, breaking, and improving.

Who This Is For

You might be exploring a path outside your degree, a recent grad trying to break into a new industry, or a mid-career professional ready to reset and learn by doing. Or you may simply know that hands-on work teaches faster than theory ever could.

Whatever your background, we care about your curiosity, drive, and willingness to take ownership. If you’re proactive, eager to learn, and excited to contribute to real projects from day one, you’ll thrive here.

What’s In It For You

At Liminal, we don’t offer traditional internships. Our 12-month Studio Apprenticeship Program puts you in the front seat, working alongside experienced builders on high-impact projects.

About Liminal

We are a Founders' Studio that co-builds with top-flight founders. We provide build expertise, unfair access and funding to de-risk the journey from idea to Series B and beyond. Led by serial founders, backed by Temasek. Headquartered in Singapore and Boston..

We thrive in intersectionality - the stretch between technology and opportunity, idea and scale, traction and true momentum. The tension is where most ventures stall, yet, that is where we operate.

Our name, Liminal, speaks to that threshold. We co-found startups with seasoned founders who know how hard this gets. And then we get in the trenches with them - from MVP to Series B and beyond. We bring capital, conviction, clarity, and co-founding builders.

The Role

We’re seeking a Software Engineering Apprentice who learns by building and isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty. You’ll work on AI-powered internal tools that improve how our studio operates — scrappy, fast-iteration projects that sharpen your engineering instincts and judgment.

You’ll also gain exposure to real venture building, contributing to early AI and software projects alongside experienced founders, shaping prototypes, testing assumptions, and turning ideas into working software. If you’re hungry to learn, comfortable with ambiguity, and motivated by building things that actually get used, you’ll fit right in.

Responsibilities

• Build and test prototypes, features, and tools that bring venture ideas to life
• Contribute to AI-powered internal tools that improve operational efficiency
• Support founders on early AI experiments and technical validation
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product leads to deliver clean, efficient code
• Research, assess, and test new technologies, frameworks, and APIs
  
  

Attributes

• Hungry to learn, build, and iterate quickly
• Enthusiastic about experimenting with new technologies and frameworks
• Adaptable problem-solver who thrives in fast-moving, collaborative environments
• Self-driven learner with a bias toward action and hands-on exploration
• Curious about how AI and software can solve real-world business challenges
  
  

This role offers hands-on experience with emerging technologies, close collaboration with experienced founders, and the chance to build products that push boundaries. If you’re motivated by learning through building and making an impact, we’d love to meet you.
