Job description

Join to apply for the Senior Software Engineer (AI) role at Education Perfect .

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.

People & Talent Operations Manager @ Education Perfect

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

About you

  • 5+ years of experience designing, developing and operating cloud software at scale
  • Proficiency in some of our core tech stack : C#, Kafka, GraphQL, TypeScript, React, Python
  • Hands‑on experience with AI platforms such as AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI or similar
  • Knowledge of prompt engineering and LLM output safety, including guardrails and security measures
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in cross‑functional, flat teams
  • Skilled in making sound technical decisions based on goals, domain knowledge and engineering fundamentals
  • Comfortable managing risk, ambiguity and dependencies
  • Experience working with distributed teams in global organisations
  • Growth mindset with a strong sense of ownership
  • Equitable opportunities, growth, and development lie at the heart of how we work at EP. We understand that not all applicants may possess all the following attributes so if you think you have what it takes, but are not sure you check every box, we would love to still hear from you!

    What we offer

  • Employee Equity Bonus Plan : Be part of our success with equity bonuses that foster ownership and shared growth across the company
  • Christmas Shutdown Leave : Enjoy a full company shutdown during the week of Christmas, with 3 extra days of paid leave to bridge any non‑public holidays
  • Volunteer Day : All EPeeps receive one paid day per year to volunteer and give back to their communities
  • Purchase Extra Leave : Opt‑in to buy an extra week of annual leave, with payments spread across the year
  • Work From Anywhere : Work up to 90 days per year from a different state or country—perfect for blending work and travel
  • Wellness Bonus : Receive a pre‑tax $750 NZD End‑of‑Year Wellness Bonus to support your health and well‑being
  • Health Insurance : Join our fully funded Southern Cross Wellbeing 1 plan ($500 excess), with optional add‑ons and family cover
  • Home Set‑Up Support : Remote and hybrid workers may be eligible for support to set up a productive and comfortable home workspace
  • Communication Allowance : Get $50 NZD / month toward your phone and internet costs if you work remotely or in a hybrid setup
  • Parental Leave Support : We support growing families with up to 12 weeks of full‑pay top‑up for primary caregivers, 3 weeks of paid leave for secondary caregivers, and an extra 5 days of New Parents Leave for both, all available after your first 3 months. Returning primary caregivers also receive enhanced pension contributions to support their financial wellbeing.
  • Employee Assistance Program : Access 24 / 7 confidential support via Sonder for mental health, safety and medical needs - available globally and fully funded by EP
  • Learning & Development : Access engaging internal workshops, performance reviews and ongoing development discussions to grow your career
  • Tenure Recognition : Celebrate your milestones with bonus leave and cash rewards at 5, 10, and 15 years of service
  • Referral Bonus : Recommend great people and earn a $2000 NZD pre‑tax bonus when your referral joins and passes their trial period
  • Workride : Access a bike, e‑bike, or scooter through a temporary pre‑tax salary sacrifice, saving 32‑63% thanks to tax benefits.
  • EP Support Groups : Mana Wahine, DEI, Environmental Impact and Wellness Committees
  • The opportunity to work within a growing global business with Diversity Works accreditation, Carbon Net Zero BCorp status, Digital Promise certification, and an unwavering commitment to our mission, people, and community
  • We celebrate individuality, value diversity, and understand that flexible and remote work opportunities enable our team members to work in a way that fosters creativity and inspires individual brilliance. When you work with us, you're not just joining a company - you're joining a team united by the desire to make a difference.
