👥 B2C

📋 Description

• Lead and mentor a globally distributed team of engineers, fostering a high-performance, inclusive, and collaborative culture. • Set the bar for technical excellence, promoting best practices across architecture, CI/CD, testing, and code quality. • Drive a DevOps mindset - engineers own what they build, from design to deployment and beyond. • Architect and deliver scalable, maintainable systems and features with measurable impact on learners. • Partner cross-functionally with product, design, and data to shape roadmap, scope work, and align on outcomes. • Continuously improve how we build software - from delivery speed and reliability to team workflows and technical decision-making.

🎯 Requirements

• Strong backend engineering background, PHP or Java, with the ability to design, build, and maintain scalable services. Familiarity with React.js or similar modern frontend frameworks is a bonus. • Senior engineering experience in product-led, fast-paced environments - ideally with time spent leading teams or large projects. • Strong software architecture skills - API-first, modular design, async comms, scaling patterns. • Fluency in Agile and Lean methodologies, with a pragmatic approach to process and change. • Comfortable working in Docker-based, cloud-native environments (we use AWS). • A track record of shipping user-facing products that are performant, elegant, and thoughtfully engineered. • Excellent communication skills and collaborative mindset - you're comfortable working across disciplines and time zones. • Excited by the potential of AI and LLMs to transform learning. • A builder’s mindset - you bias toward action, care about craft, and love iterating toward better outcomes. • Bonus: Experience with education platforms or familiarity with the UK/US education systems

🏖️ 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.
