Job Title Senior Backend Software Engineer
Experience 7+ years commercial experience as a Software Engineer
Location Hybrid or Remote (HQ is in London)
Compensation Highly competitive + bonus upside
The Role We’re building the platform that powers how thousands of families experience online learning — with a focus on clarity, strong domain design, and long‑term thinking. As we evolve our architecture with new Java services (while still operating parts of our PHP ecosystem), your work will shape how these systems fit together and how the product scales.
You’ll join a team that values engineering fundamentals, product thinking, and a culture where impact matters more than output. This is a place where senior engineers influence direction — not just execution.
What We’re Looking For
Strong backend engineering experience, ideally in Java (or another strongly typed language with willingness to work in Java)
Engineering fundamentals over frameworks — you understand principles and treat frameworks as implementation details, not identity
DDD fluency — aggregates, invariants, boundaries, contracts, and ubiquitous language are not alien concepts to you
Value‑driven mindset — you challenge scope, reduce waste, and focus on solving the right problem, not just shipping features
Operational maturity — you’re comfortable owning code in production, from build pipelines to monitoring and iteration
Modern engineering practices — version control, CI/CD, containerised development, and cloud environments (AWS ideal)
Clear, thoughtful communication — you work well in a remote‑first, async‑friendly environment
T‑shaped mindset — deep backend expertise with the ability to collaborate effectively across other parts of the stack
What You’ll Be Doing
Designing and building backend services in Java as part of our evolving architecture
Working with existing PHP systems where needed, and helping shape the path forward
Modelling domains, defining boundaries, and contributing to architectural decisions
Implementing clear, maintainable APIs and backend features that serve real user needs
Owning your work beyond delivery — build pipelines, observability, and production behaviour
Participating in code reviews, technical discussions, and shared decision‑making
Improving performance, reliability, and security as the platform scales
Contributing to a culture of engineering excellence, learning, and thoughtful trade‑offs
Our Hiring Process

Our Values
PUT INTEGRITY FIRST
– Honesty matters. Tell the truth, and be straight‑up. Be transparent and do the right thing. This builds respect and reliability for our students, families and team members
KNOW YOUR COORDINATES
– Understand where you are and where you want to get to. Know your strengths and acknowledge your gaps. Think from first principles. Question things, and never pretend to know what you don’t
RAISE THE BAR
– Own it and get it done. Do better. Iterate quickly and seek feedback. Deliver real value. Be excellent and lift others up. Share learnings and help your teammates improve
LOVE TO BE WRONG
– Push boundaries. Be outside your comfort zone. Naturally you’ll get some things wrong and that’s okay. Embrace feedback. Learn from it and get closer to excellence
WIN TOGETHER
– To achieve our mission, we have to work together. We all have a role to play, so help each other get there. We’re stronger as a team so inspire, support and respect each other
