Software Developer (Python) | Mission-Driven EdTech Startup
Do you want to use your Python expertise to build technology that makes a real difference in people's lives?
We're a purpose-driven EdTech startup on a mission to transform learning outcomes for students across the UK - and we're looking for a talented Python-focused Full Stack Developer to join as our second engineering hire.
You'll work hand-in-hand with the founders to architect and deliver intuitive features for learners and educators. This is a rare opportunity to shape our platform, product, and engineering culture from the very beginning.
What You'll Do
• Build, scale, and iterate on our core learning platform with Python at the heart of the stack (FastAPI / Django + modern frontend).
• Take ownership of end-to-end features - from database models to APIs to polished UI.
• Design clean, reliable backend systems that make the platform fast, scalable, and a joy to use.
• Collaborate with product, design, and real users to solve meaningful problems.
• Help set engineering best practices and nurture an inclusive, collaborative culture.
What We're Looking For
• Strong Python engineering skills - you write clean, testable, production-ready code.
• Experience with modern frameworks like FastAPI, Django, or Flask.
• Comfortable across the stack: JavaScript/TypeScript with React (or similar) on the frontend.
• Passion for building engaging, user-friendly applications - interest in gamification, interactive content, or educational tools is a plus.
• Excitement for early-stage startup life, where your work has visible, tangible impact.
Why You'll Love It
• Mission with meaning - your work directly helps students and educators succeed.
• Ownership - generous equity and the chance to shape the company from the ground up.
• Small, agile team - move fast, collaborate closely, and see your ideas in action.
• Real impact - your technical decisions will influence how thousands of students learn.
If you're a Python developer eager to build meaningful products and join an early-stage team with purpose, we'd love to hear from you.
