The Opportunity
An outstanding chance to join our Engineering team at Multiverse, the UK’s first EdTech unicorn. You’ll shape the engine of transformative learning.
You’ll bridge breakthroughs in user adoption and AI, impacting tens of thousands of lives—not through tickets, but through innovation that scales access to high-impact learning.
The Mission
Multiverse is redefining workforce development.
Growth here is a product problem—innovation comes from engineering, and AI is increasingly central to our solution. You’ll:
- Join a domain-specific team, gaining deep expertise.
- Deliver scalable, learner-centric experiences across the platform.
We see your work in human outcomes. Every feature must connect directly to learner success.
The Product
Our platform now serves tens of thousands of learners, with AI-driven demand accelerating.
You won’t receive a spec—you’ll define priorities and architect impactful solutions. All you build impacts real people. Expect to own product-to-delivery accountability.
The Team
We’re a high-growth, high-impact tribe across product, engineering, design, and AI innovation, culture-coded for:
- Engineering Craft: Focus on quality and impact.
- Experimentation: Open to rapid prototyping and iteration.
- Collaboration: "Re-teaming" to align with business needs.
Hands-on teaming: High trust, flexible assignments, knowledge-sharing collaboration.
The Challenge
You’ll solve bold challenges to accelerate scaling:
1. Activate Learners
Build AI-driven onboarding that adapts in real time to:
- What learners already know
- How they learn best
- Where they need support most
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
2. Drive Engagement
Partner with AI engineers to craft personalised learning experiences that adapt to:
- Individual pace
- Context-based needs
- Learner engagement patterns
3. Scale Systems
Operationalise AI-generated content to ensure:
- Consistent, relevant and human-like outputs
- Seamless integration into end-to-end systems
4. Ship Code
Deliver production-quality architecture using our core stack:
- AWS
- React
- TypeScript
AI Fluency – A Core Competency
You’re not just using AI: you’re mastering and directing it.
Essential Expectations:
- Treat AI as both accelerator and critical solver—not an experiment.
- Assess AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini) daily to test velocity and accuracy.
- Detect and overcome AI failure modes:
- Hallucination
- Latency spikes
- Cost inefficiencies
- Trust erosion among learners
- Apply product sensibility: Ask "Does this help the learner?"—not "Does it work?".
Your Impact: Owner-Focused Outcomes
As a Senior Software Engineer, your mastery fuels our success. We expect you to:
✔ Execute as an Owner: Lead full-cycle initiatives with precision. ✔ **engineer excellence: Zero tolerance for regressions. Ensure systems are bug-free, robustly instrumented. ✔ Scale Simplicity: Reduce tech debt—leave the codebase better than you found it. Balance architectural tradeoffs and drive simplicity. ✔ Multiply Your Team: Mentor and code-review rigorously. ✔ Embrace High Agency: Move fast, cross-silos, embrace ambiguity. ✔ Communicate Compellingly: Bridge gaps for both technical and non-technical audiences. ✔ Take Initiative: Join early, lead problem shaping (discovery), foresightedly address bottlenecks. ✔ Stay Metric Obsessed: Tie engineering and product performance to business outcomes. ✔ Grow Continuously: Welcome setbacks as signals. Make informed reshapes with velocity.
