Senior Software Engineer - Sync Learning & Impact

About the role

It's an incredible time to join the Engineering team at Multiverse, the UK's first edtech unicorn, as we equip the workforce to win in an AI era. You have a real opportunity to impact the lives of 1,000s of people. Within the Sync Learning and Impact squad, we are the architects of human connection. We own the critical domains of coach-to-learner and coach-to-manager interactions. We don't just build features; we build the engine that drives learner retention and proves the ROI of modern apprenticeship to the world's leading companies. The Vibe Check: A Note from Henrik (Engineering Manager) "We aren't here to move tickets; we're here to solve for the human at the other end of the screen. In this squad, you'll find a high-trust, high-autonomy environment where we value 'doing' over 'discussing.' I'm looking for a technical partner who is as excited about mentoring a mid-level engineer as they are about refactoring a complex Elixir module. If you love navigating the 'fog' of high-ambiguity problems and turning them into scalable systems, you'll thrive here." The 6-Month "Bold" Challenge We don't believe in "settling in." In your first 180 days, you will: Architect the Foundation: Navigate high-ambiguity domains in coach-to-manager interactions, defining the technical path where no roadmap currently exists. The Multiplier Effect: Actively mentor mid-level engineers to step into Feature Lead roles, elevating the squad's overall delivery capacity. Standardise for Scale: Audit and evolve our use of Elixir, React, and TypeScript , establishing the "Multiverse Way" for high-quality, high-velocity shipping. Your Impact (Level 3: Senior Executive) As a Senior Engineer, your success is measured by the Mastery of your craft and the Achievement of your squad: Technical Strategy: You design and own the technical roadmap for your domain, making the hard trade-offs between "shipping fast" and "system health." Feature Leadership: You lead large, complex initiatives from conception to deployment, ensuring they are technically robust and user-centric. Full-Stack Excellence: You produce clean, extensible code that serves as the gold standard for the team. Product Partnership: You are a peer to our PMs and Designers. You don't just receive specs-you challenge them, refine them, and ensure we are building what the customer actually needs. Operating Principles in Action Solve for Customer Value: You treat every line of code as a tool for learner retention. If it doesn't help an apprentice succeed, we don't build it. Drivers, Not Passengers: You own your domain. If you see a bottleneck in our deployment or a flaw in our architecture, you lead the fix. You don't wait for permission. Be Decisive, Even in Ambiguity: We move at unicorn speed. You are comfortable launching "imperfect" solutions to gather data, then iterating rapidly. AI to Deliver Outcomes: You are an AI-first builder. You use tools like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot to integrate AI tooling into your daily workflow to bypass repetitive tasks and accelerate delivery. You're excited to mentor the team on high-leverage AI patterns that increase our velocity, and you teach the squad how to leverage AI to stay ahead of the curve. About You The Tech: Expert-level depth in React and TypeScript (Elixir is a nice-to-have). Architectural Patterns: Ability to design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable systems (experience with event-driven architecture is a plus) The Mentor: You get a kick out of seeing others succeed. You have a proven track record of leveling up those around you. Collaborative Mindset: You thrive in the office. You value the energy of a whiteboard session and the speed of an in-person "desk-side" solve. You have a proven ability to work effectively with cross-functional partners (PM/UX). You communicate technical constraints clearly and advocate for user experience. We encourage continuous learning: Weekly informal training and knowledge-sharing sessions "10% time" to experimen
