Job Description
Are you a talented, super-ambitious full-stack developer? Excited by building solutions to real-world challenges? Motivated by owning shares in a high-growth business? Want to join a team of smart, committed, and highly functioning professionals? This might be the role for you!
The company…
Our client is an ambitious, fast-growing EdTech disruptor. They exist to create a world where educators are liberated from administrative burdens and empowered to focus entirely on what matters most—nurturing the potential of every student.
Their mission is to unify the fragmented landscape of school technology through intelligent, human-centred design. By replacing disconnected silo systems with one seamless platform, they restore joy to teaching, strengthen connections between schools and families, and empower students to take ownership of their learning journey. They partner with educators to build software that serves people, not the other way around.
Schools are often stuck juggling siloed systems that don’t talk to each other, creating frustration, duplication, and wasted time. The team have lived that reality themselves, and it’s exactly what they set out to fix.
They started by transforming how music departments are managed and quickly became the market leader. Now, they’re scaling that approach across schools more broadly, building tools that bring activities, communication, and data together into a single intuitive platform.
Their distinctiveness lies in their world-class technical talent, producing elegant software solutions, a profound passion for education's transformative potential beyond the core curriculum, and their impatience with inefficient systems that hinder children's potential.
They move fast, listen carefully to users, and value people who take initiative.
