Engineering Manager

Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption. We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today’s 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 they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance.

In June 2022, we announced a $220 million Series D funding round co‑led by Step Stone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. With a post‑money valuation of $1.7bn, the round makes us the UK’s first EdTech unicorn. But we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output.

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

• Type Script is our primary language of choice for both frontend development (with React
  
  JS) and on the backend, running inside containers.

• You’ll find tools like Git Hub, Circle
  
  CI, Datadog, and Backstage as daily drivers for our engineers.
• We also make heavy usage of Cursor and other AI‑powered tools to accelerate our ability to deliver outcomes.
