Job Overview
This position is intended for a highly skilled engineer with a strong sense of ownership, strategic thinking, and the ability to tackle complex technical challenges. The successful candidate will be responsible for building and enhancing core product features, while shaping the overall technical direction and ensuring long-term scalability, stability, and growth. Technical decisions made in this role will directly impact both the product and its users, offering significant autonomy to innovate alongside clear responsibility for delivering high-quality outcomes.
Driving the Technical Innovation Behind AI-Powered Education Products
The role involves contributing to a suite of innovative products that are transforming the education landscape. These include TeachTap, which leverages AI to bring historical figures to life through short-form, TikTok-style learning experiences; TeachTales, which engages learners with personalised, immersive storytelling to deepen comprehension; TimeBack, a learning copilot that integrates seamlessly with existing tools to actively support and guide students; and Athena, which utilises AI-generated videos and assessments to deliver measurable educational outcomes.
The successful candidate will drive the technical evolution of these products, ensuring they remain scalable, maintainable, and resilient over time. In close collaboration with product teams, they will translate high-level concepts into robust technical architectures, resolve complex challenges, and maintain strict quality standards. Their technical decisions will shape product direction and directly influence how thousands of learners experience education.
The organisation places strong emphasis on thoughtful planning and early-stage design. An AI-first approach is used to automate routine tasks, enabling greater focus on high-impact decision-making and creative problem-solving. The role offers a high degree of autonomy, with the opportunity to influence product strategy while maintaining a strong focus on long-term stability and scalability.
This opportunity is well suited to an individual eager to lead the technical transformation of SaaS products and apply generative AI to unlock new possibilities in education.
