Make learning personal

At Eedi, we’re on a mission to sustainably improve learning outcomes for 1 billion students by 2030.

We’ve spent the last decade collecting data on how children learn. We’ve become pretty good at spotting where students need help, uncovering gaps in their knowledge and providing the support they need.

We’ve secured a $12M grant from a prestigious US foundation and teamed up with major education partners to turn what we’ve learned into an AI tutor that can reach hundreds of millions of students. We’re creating a future where personalised, adaptive learning is available to everyone.

Why we need you

We’ve managed to get where we are with a tiny team and we’re stretched to the limits. We’ve built lots of products for teachers, students, parents and our own in-house tutor team and we plan to build more.

You’ll play a crucial role bringing these plans to life

Your work will directly impact students, educators, and parents worldwide, helping to shape the future of education.

Here’s what you’ll be doing…

We’re on the cutting edge of using AI in education and we need a frontend to match. Working closely with our product and design teams, you’ll be creating interfaces that make learning engaging and accessible. You’ll:

  • Develop and deploy intuitive, responsive web applications that bring our AI-powered learning tools to life.
  • Collaborate with our backend engineers to integrate APIs and deliver dynamic frontend experiences.
  • Transform complex data and insights into user-friendly features that can be used by millions of students worldwide.
  • Work with our product and pedagogy teams to create interfaces that make a real difference in students’ lives.
  • Contribute to innovative projects, staying on top of the latest frontend technologies and helping us push the boundaries of what’s possible in educational tech.

Must haves…

  • 3+ years experience in frontend, or full-stack engineering
  • Work experience, open-source code using React/Next.js or similar modern frameworks.
  • API experience, including good API principles
  • Experience with coding solid UIs with modern CSS, cross browser tested and accessible (thankfully schools don’t use IE9 anymore!)
  • Experience with web development best practices such as A/B testing, continuous integration

It would be nice if…

  • You have worked at a startup and have a proven track record of pushing production-ready code.
  • You have experience of component libraries
  • You have backend experience. Ideally .NET/C# but any modern tech stack will do
  • You have Azure, or cloud hosting experience
  • You have worked in remote or distributed team environments.

Benefits at Eedi

  • Competitive salary + stock options
  • 5% pension contribution
  • 30 days holiday + Christmas break
  • Cycle-2-work scheme
  • Home office budget (chairs, screens etc)
  • Truly flexible working – we appreciate real work life balance (soon to include a 4-day week!)
  • Quarterly off-sites
  • Learning budget – we’re an education business!

There’s one more, very important thing. At Eedi, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We believe that bringing together individuals with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives leads to more innovative solutions and better outcomes for our students. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made in increasing representation across our organisation, and we’re always working to do better. We are an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

We don’t expect you to be an expert in everything listed above. We’re looking for candidates who excel in some areas and have a strong foundation or interest in others. If you meet many of these qualifications but not all, we still encourage you to apply!

We can’t wait to hear from you! Let’s change the future of learning together!
