The roleYou would be the second engineer in-house, working alongside the Lead Software Engineer and an external technical consultant.
The platform is mid-migration. A legacy monolith is being progressively replaced by a modern Next.js and .NET stack on Azure, without interruption to learners already using it. In the last year the team has brought continuous integration in-house, containerised the legacy application for cross-platform local development, and established the architecture for V2. The engineering practice is young, and there is real scope to influence how it works.
You would be writing code from day one against defined feature work, with the Lead Engineer owning architecture. As V2 matures there is a clear route to owning larger features end to end.
A small team on a platform this size means unusually high leverage. It also means the work is hands-on and pragmatic rather than abstract. If you want to ship things that reach millions of people and see the effect quickly, this is a good place to do it.
