The posting

Crimson Academies is a global education organisation delivering high-quality, live, real-time learning to ambitious students around the world. With over 1,000 students joining us from 65 countries, our vision is to unlock our students' limitless potential, together, for extraordinary futures.

The Role

Our engineering team builds the systems that make a global virtual education organisation actually work: the student and parent app and backend, internal sales and marketing tools, school operations infrastructure, and our public-facing digital platforms.

Our engineers sit close to the product, close to the people using it, and close to the impact. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who's genuinely excited by the difference good software can make to a child's education and who's ready to help us raise the bar on what we ship and how we ship it.

You'll work at a senior level across our backend and infrastructure, contribute to architectural decisions, and help shape the technical direction and engineering culture of the team.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build Crimson Academies' products across the cloud, backend, infrastructure, and frontend where needed
  • Take ownership of hard technical problems end to end, from framing through to shipping, monitoring, and iterating
  • Test-drive your development so that once your work is done, it doesn't go backwards
  • Contribute to architectural decisions and help shape Crimson Academies' technical direction
  • Partner with Product Managers and stakeholders: give honest estimates, communicate clearly, and ship when you said you would
  • Follow and improve our CI/CD, testing, and deployment practices so the team ships faster and more safely
  • Monitor product health and respond when something needs attention
  • Mentor your colleagues, lift quality across the team, and model the standards we hold each other to

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong full-stack instincts with deep backend and infrastructure experience at a senior level
  • Fluency, or close to it, in our stack: HTML5/CSS, React, TypeScript, Node, Postgres, Docker, AWS, Terraform
  • A track record of shipping software you and your team are proud of in a strong CI/CD environment
  • Clear, honest communication and a team-first instinct — you back your teammates and deliver what you've committed to
  • Genuine interest in growing into technical leadership over time
  • Personal commitment to Crimson Academies' standards: unlocking potential together, rethinking and rebuilding, and raising the bar to compound impact

Highly Regarded

  • Experience building education or other consumer-facing products with a global user base
  • Experience mentoring or guiding more junior engineers
  • Comfort running production systems across multiple regions and time zones

Why Crimson Academies

Every family that chooses Crimson Academies is trusting us with something irreplaceable. Engineering owns the platforms that make our global education experience possible: the code you ship reaches students and families around the world, every day.

If you want senior-level work with real impact, on a team that holds itself to a high bar, we'd love to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
