About the Role

We're looking for an Intermediate Full Stack Engineer to help shape and maintain custom software platforms used by learners and educators worldwide. You'll play a key role in developing and refining systems that power student and mentor experiences, from application portals to payment processing and career placements.

What You’ll Do

  • Write clean, efficient code using Python and Django for backend development, paired with React, Vue, or Angular on the frontend.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to scope, design, and deliver features that serve a global user base.
  • Refactor outdated codebases to improve performance, stability, and maintainability, especially in high-change areas.
  • Diagnose and resolve technical issues while contributing to long-term architectural improvements.
  • Document your work clearly through code comments, technical write-ups, and structured task breakdowns for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Work within agile cycles, contributing to sprint planning and continuous delivery processes.

What We’re Looking For

  • At least two years of professional full stack development experience.
  • Proven experience with Python and Django or similar frameworks.
  • Strong working knowledge of React, Vue, or Angular.
  • Familiarity with relational databases and SQL.
  • Experience using UNIX-based environments and cloud platforms, particularly AWS services like EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, and SQS.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Clear communication abilities, both written and verbal, with a talent for translating technical concepts across teams.
  • Ability to work independently and deliver high-quality results with minimal oversight.
  • Adaptability in fast-moving environments with shifting priorities.

Preferred Background

  • Experience in a high-growth tech startup setting is a plus.

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be part of a mission-driven team building tools that expand access to tech education and careers. Our platforms support learners from diverse backgrounds, and your work will directly impact how people around the world enter and grow in the tech industry.

Work Environment

This is a hybrid role with flexibility in scheduling. Remote options are available for those not near a physical campus. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and product teams in a culture that values learning, ownership, and continuous improvement.

Grow With Us

We believe in investing in our team’s development. Employees can enroll part-time in coding bootcamps to expand their technical expertise.

We work with top universities such as Imperial College London, The London School of Economics, The University of Edinburgh, and Stellenbosch University to deliver structured technical courses and bootcamps that accelerate people into fulfilling tech careers. We have been recognised as one of the top education technology scaleups in the world and gained the financial backing of Meta (previously Facebook), which recognised us as the most socially impactful startup operating in Africa, where we initially started our work. We are dedicated to closing the global tech skills gap, and we achieve this by integrating tech education with human mentorship and expert code review powered by a workforce in Southern Africa, which lowers the cost of an accessible education in technology. This model has been successful, allowing us to reach millions of learners a year from over 60 countries. We have also partnered with government bodies such as the UK's Department for Education,
