Since 2014, Revelry has run a paid apprenticeship that takes determined people from all kinds of backgrounds and turns them into working software engineers and product managers. Our first apprentice is now our CTO.
The first weeks cover onboarding and fundamentals. You get familiar with how projects are structured, version control, testing, and release processes. You shoulder-surf working engineers, ask lots of questions, and work through structured exercises.
The rest of the program is real work. You're resourced to actual partner projects, pick up your own tickets and bugs, and pair with the engineers and product managers around you. Independence grows week by week until you're ready to graduate.
For bootcamp graduates, the self-taught, and career changers with some HTML, CSS, and JavaScript under their belt. You'll pair-program, work a curriculum, and ship code on real partner projects. You'll use AI tools the way working engineers do, and you'll be expected to understand every line you merge.
Graduates have gone on to full-time engineering roles at Revelry and beyond.
Added in 2021 for people moving into product from project management, research, data analysis, or development. You'll study the fundamentals, work a practice case study with feedback from our product team, then pair with a Product Manager on real partner projects.
Product management is best taught through interactions and conversations, so that's how we teach it.
Every apprentice is assigned a dedicated coach and meets with them one-on-one every week. Those meetings are a safe place to work through challenges, questions, and ideas, and to celebrate your first commit no matter the size.
Impostor syndrome is real, especially for people coming from non-technical backgrounds. A dedicated coach is the best answer we've found.
"Each contribution has value."
Cohorts open as project work allows, so there isn't always a posting live. Check the open roles on our careers page, or introduce yourself and we'll keep you in mind.
