👥 B2C

📋 Description

• Design and build robust, maintainable product features — from backend APIs to frontend interactions • Collaborate closely with product and design to shape and deliver user-facing functionality • Write code that’s clear, testable, and built with long-term maintainability in mind • Contribute to architectural discussions and help define technical direction as we scale • Participate in code reviews, pair programming, and shared decision-making • Own your work beyond shipping: you’ll help monitor, improve, and support what you build • Contribute to the performance, reliability, and security of the system as it grows

🎯 Requirements

• 4+ years commercial experience as a Software Engineer • Strong backend engineering background, PHP or Java, with experience building and maintaining production-grade software (we’re open to all levels — what matters is the impact you’ve had) • A product-engineering mindset: you care about *why* something is built, not just *how* • Solid grasp of software design: modular systems, clean abstractions, thoughtful trade-offs • Familiarity with asynchronous processing, eventual consistency, and how to design for failure • A strong commitment to testing, quality, and writing code that others can understand and build on • Clear communication skills and a collaborative approach — we work in a remote-first, async-friendly environment • You’ve worked in modern development environments — version control, CI/CD pipelines, Docker-based setups, and cloud platforms like AWS are familiar territory • You thrive in an iterative environment where fast feedback, continuous learning, and course correction are part of the process — not signs of failure.

🏖️ Benefits

• The chance to make a real impact: your work directly shapes the future of education. • A fast-paced and high-growth environment where ideas move quickly and careers accelerate. • A collaborative, supportive culture: we’re head quartered in the UK, but we’re a global team with colleagues in 15+ countries, bringing a rich mix of perspectives and energy.
