Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption.

We have partnered with 1500 companies to deliver a new kind of learning thats transforming todays workforce.

Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI data and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn ROI for their employers using the skills theyve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance.

In June 2022 we announced a $220 million Series D funding round co-led by StepStone Group Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. With a post-money valuation of $1.7bn the round makes us the UKs first EdTech unicorn.

But we arent stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800 employees we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. Were building a world where tech skills unlock peoples potential and output.

Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era.

The Role

Its an incredible time to join the Engineering team at Multiverse the UKs first edtech unicorn as we equip the workforce to win in an AI era. You have a real opportunity to impact the lives of 1000s of people.

Within the Sync Learning and Impact squad we are the architects of human connection. We own the critical domains of coach-to-learner and coach-to-manager interactions. We dont just build features; we build the engine that drives learner retention and proves the ROI of modern apprenticeship to the worlds leading companies.

The Vibe Check: A Note from Henrik (Engineering Manager)

We arent here to move tickets; were here to solve for the human at the other end of the this squad youll find a high-trust high-autonomy environment where we value doing over discussing. Im looking for a technical partner who is as excited about mentoring a mid-level engineer as they are about refactoring a complex Elixir module. If you love navigating the fog of high-ambiguity problems and turning them into scalable systems youll thrive here.

The 6-Month Bold Challenge

We dont believe in settling your first 180 days you will:

• Architect the Foundation: Navigate high-ambiguity domains in coach-to-manager interactions defining the technical path where no roadmap currently exists.

• The Multiplier Effect: Actively mentor mid-level engineers to step into Feature Lead roles elevating the squads overall delivery capacity.

• Standardise for Scale: Audit and evolve our use of Elixir React and TypeScript establishing the Multiverse Way for high-quality high-velocity shipping.

Your Impact (Level 3: Senior Executive)

As a Senior Engineer your success is measured by the Mastery of your craft and the Achievement of your squad:

• Technical Strategy: You design and own the technical roadmap for your domain making the hard trade-offs between shipping fast and system health.

• Feature Leadership: You lead large complex initiatives from conception to deployment ensuring they are technically robust and user-centric.

• Full-Stack Excellence: You produce clean extensible code that serves as the gold standard for the team.

• Product Partnership: You are a peer to our PMs and Designers. You dont just receive specsyou challenge them refine them and ensure we are building what the customer actually needs.

Operating Principles in Action

• Solve for Customer Value: You treat every line of code as a tool for learner retention. If it doesnt help an apprentice succeed we dont build it.

• Drivers Not Passengers: You own your domain. If you see a bottleneck in our deployment or a flaw in our architecture you lead the fix. You dont wait for permission.

• Be Decisive Even in Ambiguity: We move at unicorn speed. You are comfortable launching imperfect solutions to gather data then iterating rapidly.

• AI to Deliver Outcomes: You are an AI-first builder. You use tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot to integrate AI tooling into your daily workflow to bypass repetitive tasks and accelerate delivery. Youre excited to mentor the team on high-leverage AI patterns that increase our velocity and you teach the squad how to leverage AI to stay ahead of the curve.

About You

• The Tech: Expert-level depth in React and TypeScript (Elixir is a nice-to-have).

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

• The Mentor: You get a kick out of seeing others succeed. You have a proven track record of leveling up those around you.

• Collaborative Mindset: You thrive in the office. You value the energy of a whiteboard session and the speed of an in-person desk-side solve. You have a proven ability to work effectively with cross-functional partners (PM/UX). You communicate technical constraints clearly and advocate for user experience.

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 We Are NOT Looking For

• Pure Specialists: We are a lean high-impact squad. We need full-stack thinkers who can jump into the backend as easily as the frontend.

• Passive Implementers: If you want a 10-page spec before you start coding this isnt the role for you. We need problem-solvers not just programmers.

• Ego-Driven Coders: We value The Best Idea Wins. We leave our egos at the door and focus on the mission.

Multiverse is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and especially encourage applications from people underrepresented in the tech industry. If you meet most but not all of the above and are excited about the role wed still love to hear from you.
