- Build and improve integrations with learning platforms, third-party services, AI providers and internal systems.
- Design reliable data flows for assessment, feedback, learner activity, reporting and operational workflows.
- Build and maintain authentication, authorisation, permissions and audit capabilities appropriate for education products.
- Work with PostgreSQL, BigQuery and modern cloud application infrastructure.
- Build and deploy containerised services in cloud environments.
- Improve reliability, observability, performance and maintainability across backend systems.
- Investigate production issues, identify root causes and implement durable fixes.
- Work closely with Product and AI Engineers to turn product needs into scalable technical systems.
- Engage with education partners where useful to understand real workflows and improve integrations.
- Use AI-assisted development tools appropriately while maintaining strong standards for testing, security and code quality.
- Write clean, tested and maintainable code.
What we are looking for

- Experience owning backend services, APIs, integrations, webhooks or cloud-based systems beyond narrowly scoped feature delivery.
- Strong experience with TypeScript/Node.js, Python or similar modern backend technologies.
- Experience with frameworks such as NestJS, FastAPI, Express or similar.
- Solid understanding of APIs, authentication, validation, permissions, databases and backend architecture.
- Experience with PostgreSQL and modern cloud platforms.
- Experience integrating third-party APIs, SaaS platforms or AI services.
- Experience with Docker or similar containerisation tools.
- A self-directed mindset and the ability to investigate unclear technical problems, make sound decisions and move work towards practical solutions.
- Strong ownership, debugging and problem-solving skills.
- Clear written and spoken English.
Nice to have
- Experience with learning-platform integrations, LTI standards or education technology.
- Experience with event-driven systems, data pipelines, workflow automation or integration-heavy products.
- Experience building multi-tenant SaaS products.
