The Mission & The Squad

Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption. We are doubling down on our AI strategy with the launch of our AI Adoption Platform.

The Challenge

We move your first 6 months you will:

• Ship Real Features: Ship production-ready code across the backend and frontend (Typescript NodeJS React).

• Design MVP and Scale: Learn and contribute to build a product from the beginning

• Own Your Craft: Go deep on modern engineering practices from writing clean testable code to understanding how our AWS infrastructure supports our users.

Your Impact

• Reliable Delivery: You take ownership of small-to-medium tasks delivering high-quality code that is well-tested and readable.

• Active Learner: You treat every code review as a masterclass. You are proactive in seeking feedback and are constantly leveling up your technical skills.

• Collaboration: You engage actively in squad ceremonies pairing with senior engineers to solve complex problems and contributing to technical discussions.

• Operational Awareness: You help maintain our platforms health learning how to monitor logs and participate in the build it run it culture.

Operating Principles in Action

• Solve for Customer Value: You dont just complete tickets. You ask How will this specific button or API change make the users experience better

• Drivers Not Passengers: If you see a bug or a confusing piece of documentation you fix it. You dont wait for permission to make our codebase better.

• Be Decisive Even in Ambiguity: You arent afraid to try a solution even if you arent 100% sure its perfect. We value learning by doing over over-analysis.

• AI to Deliver Outcomes: You are an AI-native engineer. You use tools like Cursor Claude or GitHub Copilot to accelerate your learning and boost your coding velocity.

What We Are Looking For

• The Foundational Builder: 1-2 years of experience (or equivalent through high-intensity bootcamps/projects) working with TypeScript React or Python.

• Curiosity & Agency: You are the person who figures out why a deployment failed or how a new framework works.

• Problem-Solving Core: You have a solid grasp of computer science fundamentals and a passion for building clean user-centric interfaces.

• Team Player: You enjoy pairing sharing what youve learned and growing alongside a high-performing team.

What We Are Not Looking For

• Order Takers: We dont provide a step-by-step manual. We need people who are comfortable with a bit of scrappy chaos and enjoy finding their own path while having access to the necessary support.

• Siloed Thinkers: If you only do frontend and refuse to touch a database or a deployment script this isnt the right squad for you.

Note: You dont need to check every single box to apply. If you have 1 year of experience but a 10x appetite for learning we want to see your application. We value the Driver mindset and a growth trajectory above a perfect checklist.
