Senior Full-Stack Engineer

📋 Description

• • MyEdSpace is at the forefront of revolutionizing education technology, driven by a powerful mission to make world-class education accessible to all, irrespective of geographical location or socioeconomic status. Backed by a significant $15 million in Series A funding from prominent investors, we are poised for substantial growth and are seeking a highly ambitious Senior Full-Stack Engineer to spearhead our technological advancements. This role is not just about writing code; it's about shaping the future of online learning and directly impacting the lives of students and families worldwide.
• • As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in building and evolving the core platform that enables thousands of families to experience online learning. Your contributions will be instrumental in ensuring clarity, robust domain design, and long-term architectural vision. We are actively modernizing our technology stack, introducing new Java/Node.js microservices and enhancing our React frontend. Your expertise will be crucial in integrating these components seamlessly and ensuring the platform's scalability and performance.
• • We foster an engineering culture that prioritizes fundamental principles, strategic product thinking, and a results-oriented approach where impact is valued above mere output. This is an environment where senior engineers are empowered to influence strategic direction, not just execute tasks. You will be a key player in designing and implementing end-to-end product features, spanning both sophisticated backend services and an intuitive React-based frontend.
• • Your responsibilities will include crafting well-structured, highly testable backend services and developing clean, reusable frontend components. A strong emphasis will be placed on performance optimization, user experience, and ensuring the long-term maintainability of the codebase. You will operate within a dynamic, multi-stack production environment, contributing to the thoughtful improvement of existing systems while actively shaping the evolution of our overall architecture.
• • A significant aspect of this role involves deep engagement with system design. You will be involved in domain modeling, defining clear architectural boundaries, and contributing to critical architectural decisions that maintain system coherence and scalability as our user base and feature set expand. We embrace AI-augmented engineering, expecting you to leverage AI tools as a natural extension of your development workflow to accelerate innovation and explore solutions more rapidly. However, this must be coupled with strong engineering judgment, ensuring that all AI-generated code is rigorously reviewed, challenged, and hardened before deployment.
• • Beyond feature development, you will take ownership of the entire software lifecycle. This includes managing CI/CD pipelines, implementing robust observability solutions, optimizing performance, and ensuring the smooth operational behavior of our platform in production. You will actively participate in code reviews and technical discussions, contributing to a culture of constructive feedback, clear articulation of trade-offs, and sound engineering decision-making.
• • We are committed to continuously improving the reliability, security, and operational robustness of our platform. Your role will be instrumental in identifying and mitigating risks, implementing best practices, and contributing to a culture of steady, pragmatic improvement rather than disruptive, large-scale rewrites. You will be a champion for raising the overall engineering bar within the team through thoughtful contributions and mentorship.
• • MyEdSpace is more than just a company; it's a movement dedicated to transforming education. Joining us means becoming part of an ambitious, fast-paced, and purpose-driven team. You will have the unparalleled opportunity to make a tangible impact on the future of education, accelerate your career in a high-growth environment, and collaborate with a diverse, global team that brings a wealth of perspectives and energy. We are headquartered in the UK but operate as a truly global entity with colleagues across 15+ countries, fostering a rich, inclusive, and dynamic work environment.
