Senior Full-Stack Engineer

Responsibilities

• Designing and building end-to-end product features across backend services and our React frontend.
• Building well-structured, testable backend services and clean, reusable frontend components - with attention to performance, usability, and long-term maintainability.
• Contributing to a multi-stack production environment, improving existing systems thoughtfully while helping evolve the overall architecture.
• Modelling domains, defining boundaries, and contributing to architectural decisions that keep the system coherent as it scales.
• Using AI tools to accelerate development - while reviewing, validating, and refining generated code before it reaches production.
• Owning work beyond feature delivery: CI/CD, observability, performance, and production behaviour.
• Participating in code reviews and technical discussions with a focus on clarity, trade-offs, and engineering judgement.
• Improving reliability, security, and operational robustness as the platform grows.
• Raising the engineering bar through thoughtful feedback, pragmatic decisions, and steady improvement rather than dramatic rewrites.
• Our Interview Process
• People Team Intro (30 mins)
• A conversation with our recruitment team to get to know each other better. You'll learn more about MyEdSpace and how we work, while we'll explore what motivates you, how you like to collaborate, and whether our ways of working align.
• Coding Exercise (take-home, 2-3 hours)
• A take-home exercise to assess practical engineering skills - architecture, clean code, testing, and problem-solving. We strongly encourage you to use AI coding tools during the exercise.
• Technical Interview (1 hour)
• We'll review your coding exercise together and use it as a springboard into a deeper conversation about your engineering approach - past projects, technical decisions, and systems thinking. This session is joined by our tech leads and/or another engineer
• Culture & Collaboration Interview (45 mins)
• A closing conversation with our VP of Engineering to assess team fit, communication style, and alignment with our values and ways of working.
• ✨ Our values
• PUT INTEGRITY FIRST Honesty matters. Tell the truth, and be straight-up. Be transparent and do the right thing. This builds re

Requirements

• Strong full-stack engineering experience - Deep backend experience in Java, Node.js, or another modern stack, paired with solid React + TypeScript skills. You're as comfortable building services as you are building the UI that sits on top of them.
• Engineering fundamentals over frameworks - You think in terms of system design, data modelling, trade-offs, and long-term maintainability. Languages and frameworks are tools - not identity.
• Multi-stack pragmatism - Our platform spans Java, Node, React, and some existing PHP systems. You're comfortable working in real-world production environments and improving systems incrementally as architecture evolves.
• Architectural maturity - You understand boundaries, contracts, invariants, and how local decisions impact system coherence over time.
• Production ownership - CI/CD, containerisation, cloud environments (AWS), observability - you're comfortable owning code beyond merge.
• Value-driven mindset - You care about solving the right problem sustainably, not just shipping features.
