Senior Software Engineer

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 April 2026 we announced $70 million in strategic funding led by Schroders Capital with participation from Step Stone Group Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. At an increased valuation of $2.1bn the round makes us Europes first EdTech double 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.

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 thousands of people not by picking up tickets but by building the engine that gets more people into transformative learning faster.

The Mission

Multiverse is reshaping the future of workforce development. Growth at Multiverse is a product problem not a marketing problem and increasingly the answers to those problems run through AI. You will join a domain team gain deep knowledge of our products and play a central role in delivering scalable user-focused learner experiences across the platform.

The Product

Our platform now serves tens of thousands of learners and demand for AI skills is accelerating. You wont be handed a spec youll be in discovery shaping what we build and why. Every feature you ship connects directly to a learner outcome and youll be expected to own that connection from design through to deployment.

The Team

You will be joining a high-growth high-impact cross-functional tribe spanning product engineering design and AI innovation. We foster a culture of engineering craft structured experimentation and rapid innovation. We value engineers who are comfortable swimming in the deep end who care deeply about the intersection of AI and user experience and who are excited to solve complex scaling challenges.

This is a high-trust hands-on building environment supported by 10% time for experimentation and weekly knowledge-sharing. We embrace a re-teaming culture giving you the high-agency opportunity to dynamically form teams around business priorities tackle new disciplines and accelerate your career.

The Challenge

You will tackle bold problems to drive our scaling efforts:

• Activate Learners: Build AI-driven onboarding flows that adapt in real time to what a learner already knows how they prefer to engage and where they need support.

• Drive Engagement: Partner with AI Engineers to develop personalised learning experiences that adapt to individual pace context and need.

• Scale Systems: Operationalise AI-generated content at scale across our end-to-end messaging systems defining the guardrails that ensure output feels relevant and human.

• Ship Code: Deliver high-quality architecture and write production code across our core stack: AWS React and Type Script.

AI Fluency

This role sits at the intersection of AI and product. We dont treat AI as an add-on or an experiment it is our engine. We expect you to be a practitioner:

• You use AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code Cursor Gemini) as a natural part of your daily workflow to accelerate velocity raise code quality and explore solution space faster.

• You evaluate AI output critically. You know when to trust it when to push back and how to iterate toward something production-worthy.

• Youve worked with LLM APIs or agentic frameworks in a real product context and understand their failure modes hallucination latency cost and user trust.

• You bring a product builders instinct to AI features: youre asking does this actually help the user not just does this technically work

Your Impact

As a Senior Software Engineer your mastery drives direct business outcomes. We expect you to:

• Execute as an Owner: Independently lead initiatives from design to deployment. Avoid over or under-building arrive at implementations that solve the problem deliver customer value and scale.

• Elevate Technical Excellence: Zero tolerance for user issues. Launch bug-free systems with proactive monitoring and instrumentation built in from day one.

• Scale Simplicity: Identify and manage technical debt leaving the codebase cleaner than you found it. Understand a problem with multiple solutions consider trade-offs and settle on the most suitable design before building.

• Multiply Your Team: Help less experienced engineers grow through mentoring pairing and code reviews. Proactively unblock peers.

• Embrace High Agency: Thrive in our re-teaming…
