The Opportunity

It’s an incredible time to join the Engineering team at Multiverse, the UK’s first edtech unicorn, as we equip the workforce to win in an AI era. You have a real opportunity to impact the lives of 1,000s of people.

If you’re looking to solve complex and compelling engineering challenges in a collaborative environment and are motivated by having a significant, genuinely positive impact on people’s lives, then we would love to talk with you.

We’ll provide you with the support, autonomy, and flexibility you need to do your best work. We believe in creating an environment where everyone can thrive and grow, supported by mentorship, learning opportunities, and a strong team culture.

You’ll join one of our domain teams, where you’ll gain deep knowledge of our products and play a key role in delivering scalable, user-focused solutions across the platform.

We encourage continuous learning:

  • Weekly informal training and knowledge-sharing sessions

  • “10% time” to experiment with new technologies, contribute to open source, or explore creative ideas

  • Hackathons to test, prototype, and innovate as a team

What You’ll Work On

You’ll help us tackle important challenges, such as:

  • Designing a best-in-class admissions experience that identifies potential and intent

  • Improving the quality of education while scaling internationally

  • Enhancing engagement and retention for learners

  • Integrating AI-powered tools to improve coaching and learning outcomes

  • Building internal systems that make engineering scalable and enjoyable

You’ll Succeed in This Role If You:
  • Care deeply about software engineering and want to continuously develop your craft

  • Enjoy working collaboratively and helping others succeed

  • Understand how to balance speed with sustainability in delivering high-quality solutions

  • Work effectively in partnership with peers, squad leads, and stakeholders to make decisions

  • Are proactive in seeing projects through, while working collaboratively with your team

  • Are adaptable and curious about learning new tools, frameworks, and technologies

  • Are excited about exploring the potential of AI-assisted development (e.g., tools like Cursor or Gemini) to enhance quality and velocity

About You
  • Experience working in cross-functional product teams (typically 5+ years, but we welcome strong candidates with equivalent experience)

  • Ability to design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable systems (experience with event-driven architecture is a plus)

  • Comfortable choosing the right tools for the job—our stack includes Python, TypeScript, React, Elixir, AWS

  • Skilled at working across the development lifecycle—from requirements to deployment and ongoing support

  • Collaborative, with experience mentoring or supporting other team members

  • Open to working on both existing systems and greenfield projects

If you meet most but not all of the above and are excited about the role, we’d still love to hear from you.
