Senior Python Engineer

Senior Python Engineer (Django)

Location : Remote (UK-based)

Type : Full-time, Permanent

Why this role is exciting

Join a small, senior team shaping the next generation of classroom technology.

This EdTech product is already in production, used by real teachers, and growing fast.

You’ll work directly with the CTO and experienced engineers to ship features that genuinely make a difference in education.

You’ll see your work move from prototype to production in days, not months — and you’ll have a direct say in how the platform evolves.

What you’ll get to do

• Build and own Django-based back-end services from design through deployment
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering leads on a live, growing EdTech platform
• Iterate fast based on real classroom feedback
• Influence architecture, performance, and developer experience in a high-impact environment

What we’re looking for

Nice to have but not essential

What this role is really about

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on production systems — not research or training models. You’ll build reliable Django services that connect with existing LLM platforms and power real-world learning experiences.
