Description
Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption.
We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today’s workforce.
Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance.
In June 2022, we announced a $220 million Series D funding round co-led by StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. With a post-money valuation of $1.7bn, the round makes us the UK’s first EdTech unicorn.
But we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output.

The Atlas Team
You will be joining a high-growth, high-impact squad that functions with the agility of a startup within Multiverse. Our team is relatively new, which means you’ll have a significant voice in shaping our technical direction, architecture, and "ways of working." We foster a culture of engineering craft and rapid innovation. We are focused on building sustainable, enterprise-grade architecture for the future of AI-led education. We value engineers who are comfortable "swimming in the deep end," who care deeply about the intersection of AI and user experience, and who are excited to solve the unique challenges of agentic orchestration at scale.

What You Will Do
- Build Production Systems: Write clean, extensible code for real users, ensuring systems are well-documented and tested.
- Full-Stack Shipping: Work across our stack (Python, TypeScript, React, Elixir, AWS) to deliver features that improve education quality and scale our impact.
- Master AI Engineering: Proactively explore the potential of AI-assisted development (e.g., Cursor, Gemini, or Claude Code) to enhance quality and velocity.
- Technical Leadership: Act as a team multiplier by feature leading, supporting other engineers, and providing technical direction for your squad.
- Operational Excellence: Define squad-level technical metrics to guarantee system health and ensure proactive monitoring is in place.
Technical Foundation
- Mastery of Craft: You possess excellent technical skills and have a strong understanding of non-functional requirements like security, performance, and scalability.
- Clean Code: You write tested, scalable code and understand how to make tests an asset rather than a cost.
- AI as an Engine: You treat AI as a core tool to improve efficiency and results, not just an optional experiment.
- Ownership: You possess a strong sense of prioritisation, understanding when an issue needs to be fixed immediately and when it can wait.
- Clarity: You can explain complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, inspiring confidence in stakeholders.
- Solve for Customer Value: You connect your work directly to business outcomes, ensuring every decision creates value for our apprentices and paying customers.
- Drivers, Not Passengers: You don’t wait for permission to fix a problem; you proactively unblock yourself and your peers while taking responsibility for your decisions and mistakes.
- Be Decisive, Even in Ambiguity: You act with speed, launching "imperfect" solutions to test and learn quickly without shifting blame.
- AI to Deliver Outcomes: You are excited about using AI to accelerate development while maintaining high standards for code quality.
- Event-Driven Expertise: Experience with event-driven architecture to help us build even more robust systems.
- Mentorship: A track record of actively upskilling others through mentoring, pairing, and impactful code reviews.
- Open Source: Contributions to the wider engineering community or a passion for exploring emerging industry trends
- Passive Workers: We don't provide rigid sprint plans; we need autonomous problem-solvers who drive outcomes.
- Initial Screen: A brief chat about your background, achievements, and impact.
- AI-Assisted Technical: A coding/system design exercise where you use AI tools to build a system. We will then deep dive into your technical mastery. We evaluate your ability to review AI output critically and handle iterative requirements.
- Architectural & Behaviours: How you live our Operating Principles.
- Time off - 27 days holiday, plus 5 additional days off: 1 life event day, 2 volunteer days, 2 company-wide wellbeing days (M-Powered Weekend) and 8 bank holidays per year
- Health & Wellness- private medical Insurance with Bupa, a medical cashback scheme, life insurance, gym membership & wellness resources through Wellhub and access to Spill - all in one mental health support
- Hybrid work offering - for most roles we collaborate in the office three days per week with the exception of Coaches and Instructors who collaborate in the office once a month
- Work-from-anywhere scheme - you'll have the opportunity to work from anywhere, up to 10 days per year
