Senior Software Engineer - Platform Engineer

Senior Software Engineer - Platform Engineer Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption. We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today’s workforce. Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance. In June 2022, we announced a $220 million Series D funding round co-led by StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. With a post-money valuation of $1.7bn, the round makes us the UK’s first EdTech unicorn. But we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output. Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era. THE ROLE Multiverse is the UK's largest apprenticeship provider and its first EdTech unicorn. The current state of AI presents a huge opportunity to reshape the future of education and workforce development. Multiverse is in a uniquely strong position to do that, and getting it right has implications beyond the company: for the UK tech sector and the broader economy. The Foundations team is the backbone of this mission. We own the core infrastructure, tooling, and developer experience that underpins everything Multiverse builds. This is not a "support" function; it is a high-leverage engineering team with the mandate to build the infrastructure that makes our product squads faster, safer, and more innovative. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who started their career writing software and moved into infrastructure to solve harder, more foundational problems. You will design the systems, write the Terraform, and harden the pipelines that empower every other team to ship at high velocity. WHAT YOU WILL DO Treat Platform as a Product. Move beyond "managing servers" to evolve our Internal Developer Platform alongside Infrastructure, DevEx, and Security teams. - Customer Obsession: Treat internal engineers as your customers, identifying pain points, building self-service capabilities, and measuring adoption to solve for true customer value. - Abstract Complexity: Develop platform APIs and connectors that handle the heavy lifting, enabling engineers to focus entirely on product delivery. Architect a future-proof Cloud Estate. You will own and evolve our production AWS infrastructure using Terraform. We treat infrastructure as software, with version control, code review, and automated testing. You will lead the way in provisioning the specialised infrastructure required for GenAI workloads, such as vector databases and Model Context Protocols (MCPs). HOW WE WORK WITH AI At Multiverse, AI is our engine, not an add-on. We want every engineer to use AI tooling as a core part of how they work, not as an experiment or a side interest. That means using AI-assisted development tools (Claude, Cursor, Gemini, etc.) daily to write, review, and debug code faster. It means reaching for an LLM before reaching for Stack Overflow. It means being willing to prototype internal automations that save the team hours, not just yourself. You should be genuinely curious about how AI is reshaping software development, comfortable adopting new tools as they emerge, and excited about the idea that infrastructure and platform work will look meaningfully different in two years than it does today. Drive Operational Intelligence. You will move beyond noisy alerts to build meaningful observability. You will empower squads to use operational data to improve stability and performance, fostering a culture of "observability as a first-class concern" across your sphere of influence. Be a Multiplier. As a Senior SWE, you are a mentor and coach ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
