Senior Software Engineer (AI)

Education Perfect – Auckland, North Island

Education Perfect is an EdTech platform designed to empower educators and amplify their impact in the classroom. We aim to enable teachers to personalise learning at scale with a range of powerful learning, assessment, and insights tools, helping them and their students reach their full potential.

As an EPeep, you’ll work on projects that have a real impact on students' lives and have the freedom, support, and resources you need to develop your skills and grow your career.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our cross‑functional team and help bring AI‑powered experiences to life in a safe, meaningful and scalable way. You’ll work across both front‑end experiences that boost student engagement and back‑end infrastructure that supports large‑scale performance. This is a hands‑on role where you’ll collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver impactful solutions, mentor teammates, and continuously improve our technology.

What you will do

• Design and build secure, scalable and maintainable cloud services across our stack (C#, Kafka, GraphQL, TypeScript, React, Python)
• Deliver AI‑powered features from concept to deployment, implementing safety measures like guardrails and prompt‑injection protections
• Continuously ship value in small, iterative releases, ensuring fast feedback loops and measurable customer impact
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with product managers, designers and other engineers to turn complex, open‑ended customer problems into reliable solutions
• Enhance system performance and reliability, ensuring our infrastructure can support a growing, global user base
• Lead technical initiatives that span multiple teams, contributing to architectural improvements and technical debt reduction
• Participate in production operations, helping maintain uptime, resolve incidents and improve operational processes
• Mentor and coach other engineers, sharing knowledge, giving constructive feedback and fostering an inclusive and collaborative environment
• Stay ahead of the curve with emerging AI, cloud and web technologies, bringing fresh ideas and approaches to the team
