Full Stack Engineer

What You’ll Do

As a Full Stack Engineer
, you’ll be a core contributor as we scale our platform, launch new revenue streams, and deepen the value we offer students, parents and partners.

• Build and maintain backend services and APIs using the latest versions of PHP and Laravel
• Develop frontend experiences across React, Next.js and React Native (Expo)
• Work within an AWS environment (EC2, App Runner, Code Pipeline, S3, RDS)
• Collaborate closely with internal Product and Design teams – with clear ownership, strong feedback loops, and real influence on decisions
• Contribute to a clean, modular codebase with a MySQL database at its core
• Review code, share knowledge, and help shape best practices across the team
• Use AI tools in your development workflow (we actively encourage it) while applying sound engineering judgement and QA

Work is planned collaboratively by Product and Engineering, ensuring the team is aligned, focused, and shipping meaningful improvements every sprint.

• 2x mid-level Full Stack Engineer (around 3+ years commercial experience), ideally with time spent in a startup or scale-up environment

• Laravel / PHP (core backend services & APIs)
• React, Next.js and/or React Native
• AWS infrastructure
• MySQL
• You care about code quality, performance and maintainability
  
  You’re comfortable using AI tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude, Copilot) as part of your workflow — and know how to review, validate and improve AI‑assisted output

• You enjoy working in a close-knit, collaborative engineering team where voices are genuinely heard
• You’re based in (or can commute to) the North West and are happy with our hybrid setup
