MyEdSpace is an education technology platform that connects the best teachers on the planet with the students who need them the most - wherever they are, whatever their means. Backed by $15m in Series A funding from some of the leading EdTech investors, we're ready to scale - and we want you to lead the charge with us! We're on a mission to make a world-class education accessible to all. We believe that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of geography or socioeconomic background, to achieve their dreams and build a brighter future. So if you're a top-performer, incredibly ambitious, and excited to redefine an industry on a societal level and make a real impact on the world - we'd love to hear from you! The Practical Bits Job Title: Senior Backend Software Engineer Experience: 7+ years commercial experience as a Software Engineer Location: Hybrid or Remote (HQ is in London) Compensation: Highly competitive + bonus upside The Role We're building the platform that powers how thousands of families experience online learning - with a focus on clarity, strong domain design, and long-term thinking. As we evolve our architecture with new Java services (while still operating parts of our PHP ecosystem), your work will shape how these systems fit together and how the product scales. You'll join a team that values engineering fundamentals, product thinking, and a culture where impact matters more than output. This is a place where senior engineers influence direction - not just execution. What We're Looking For Strong backend engineering experience, ideally in Java (or another strongly typed language with willingness to work in Java). Engineering fundamentals over frameworks - you understand principles and treat frameworks as implementation details, not identity. DDD fluency - aggregates, invariants, boundaries, contracts, and ubiquitous language are not alien concepts to you. Value-driven mindset - you challenge scope, reduce waste, and focus on solving the right problem, not just shipping features. Operational maturity - you're comfortable owning code in production, from build pipelines to monitoring and iteration. Modern engineering practices - version control, CI/CD, containerised development, and cloud environments (AWS ideal). Clear, thoughtful communication - you work well in a remote-first, async-friendly environment. T-shaped mindset - deep backend expertise with the ability to collaborate effectively across other parts of the stack. What You'll Be Doing Designing and building backend services in Java as part of our evolving architecture. Working with existing PHP systems where needed, and helping shape the path forward. Modelling domains, defining boundaries, and contributing to architectural decisions. Implementing clear, maintainable APIs and backend features that serve real user needs. Owning your work beyond delivery - build pipelines, observability, and production behaviour. Participating in code reviews, technical discussions, and shared decision-making. Improving performance, reliability, and security as the platform scales. Contributing to a culture of engineering excellence, learning, and thoughtful trade-offs. Our Hiring Process We aim to keep the process efficient, transparent, and focused on mutual fit. CV Screening Your application will be reviewed by one of our engineers to assess your technical foundation, relevant experience, and overall alignment with the role. Screening Call A short conversation 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 A take-home coding challenge designed to assess practical engineering skills - architecture, clean code, testing, and problem-solving. Technical Interview A deep dive into your engineering approach - exploring past projects, technical decisions, and systems thinking. This session is typically joined by two engineers (or a Tech Lead and the Hiring Manager). Culture & Collaboration Interview A closing conversation to ensure strong 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 respect and reliability for our students, families and team members. KNOW YOUR COORDINATES Understand where you are and where you want to get to. Know your strengths and acknowledge your gaps. Think from first principles. Question things, and never pretend to know what you don't. RAISE THE BAR Own it and get it done. Do better. Iterate quickly and seek feedback. Deliver real value. Be excellent and lift others up. Share learnings and help your teammates improve. LOVE TO BE WRONG Push boundaries. Be outside your comfort zone. Naturally you'll get some things wrong and that's okay. Embrace feedback. Learn from it and get closer to excellence. WIN TOGETHER To achieve our mission, we have to work together. We all have a role to play, so help each other get there. We're stronger as a team so inspire, support and respect each other. Why you'll love working here We're a team on a mission to transform education for the better. Joining MES means you'll be part of something ambitious, fast-moving, and full of purpose. Here's what you can expect: The chance to make a real impact: your work directly shapes the future of education. A fast-paced and high-growth environment where ideas move quickly and careers accelerate. A collaborative, supportive culture: we're head quartered in the UK, but we're a global team with colleagues in 15+ countries, bringing a rich mix of perspectives and energy.

Job Title: Technical Lead Salary: £51,400 - £68,800 Location: Cambridge/Hybrid Contract: Permanent The Tech Lead at Cambridge University Press and Assessment plays a pivotal role in delivering high-quality, scalable, and resilient applications that support the global spectrum of education needs. By providing technical leadership across the full technology stack, the Tech Lead ensures systems are designed for maintainability, extensibility, and long-term success, empowering teams to unlock potential, and deliver transformative solutions for learners, teachers, and researchers. We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge. About the role We're seeking a hands on Tech Lead with strong leadership and collaboration skills to guide the migration of legacy 3-tier enterprise applications to scalable, cloud-native architectures on AWS, balancing technical innovation with effective stakeholder engagement. In this role, you will not only lead and mentor an agile, cross functional engineering team, but also remain deeply involved in the technical delivery-applying your expertise directly to architect, code, and implement solutions. You will set technical standards, write and review code, and solve complex challenges alongside your team, ensuring resilient, high-performance systems that empower our global platforms and serve millions of users worldwide. This is an opportunity to establish the foundation for future innovation, including the adoption of event driven architecture (EDA) and modern practices to support successful cloud migration, while building strong relationships across teams and stakeholders to drive alignment and adoption. We are looking for someone who leads by example, demonstrates recent hands on experience with modern technologies, and is passionate about both technical excellence and team development. Key Responsibilities Shape Cloud Native Architecture: Lead the migration of legacy applications to AWS, designing scalable, resilient architectures using approaches like microservices, serverless, and containerisation, while communicating design rationale to diverse stakeholders for buy in and feedback. Drive Observability: Implement robust observability frameworks to ensure system performance, reliability, and proactive issue resolution, fostering a team culture of shared accountability and continuous improvement. Prepare for Event Driven Architecture: Design systems with flexibility for EDA patterns, collaborating with cross functional groups to identify opportunities for decoupled, scalable solutions. Build Web App Solutions: Develop responsive, high-performance web applications using modern frameworks integrated with cloud-native backends, adapting to user feedback and business priorities through iterative collaboration. Optimise Cloud Deployments: Leverage cloud services and Infrastructure as Code to ensure cost effective, scalable solutions, while mentoring teams on best practices and facilitating knowledge sharing sessions. Ensure Security and Compliance: Champion secure practices aligned with industry standards, influencing stakeholders to prioritize security in decision making processes. Lead Automation and CI/CD: Drive automation through CI/CD pipelines to accelerate delivery and minimise technical debt, promoting agile ways of working that encourage team input and adaptability. Mentor and Collaborate: Guide engineers, foster a culture of learning and inclusivity, and collaborate with product teams, architects, and stakeholders to align technical solutions with business goals, using strong communication skills to bridge technical and non technical perspectives. Facilitate Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a key liaison in stakeholder groups, translating technical concepts into actionable insights, resolving conflicts, and building consensus to ensure project success. About you As a hands on Tech Lead, you'll bring broad expertise in cloud architecture and migration strategies, coupled with exceptional soft skills to thrive in collaborative environments. Your experience includes transforming legacy enterprise applications into modern, scalable solutions, with a focus on horizontal skills like problem solving, adaptable design thinking, and leading through influence. You excel in agile, cross functional teams, where your ability to communicate effectively, mentor diverse groups, and manage stakeholder expectations is as critical as your technical acumen. You will be expected to apply your technical skills directly-writing code, architecting systems, and solving complex technical challenges alongside your team. Key soft and horizontal skills include: Leadership and Mentoring: Proven track record of guiding teams, fostering collaboration, and promoting a growth mindset to unlock team potential. Communication and Stakeholder Management: Skilled at articulating complex technical ideas to non technical audiences, facilitating workshops, and building relationships to align on shared goals. Adaptability and Collaboration: Thrive in dynamic settings, adapting to evolving priorities while collaborating across functions to drive innovation and resolve challenges.
