Who we are

AiCore is a specialist Ai & data career accelerator. We’re an end-to-end solution for launching, upskilling, or switching into a career in AI & data.

We deliver an immersive program that launches careers in Ai & Data at supersonic speed. Over 18 weeks, users are logged into the AiCore Portal, which gives them access to a sandbox cloud environment where they find everything that they would encounter in industry and are challenged to build and deploy production-grade systems, learning under the mentorship of industry experts. These systems are created using blueprints from leading companies such as Facebook, Airbnb, Pinterest and more.

97 million roles in AI & data will be created by 2025. There is no single path to one of those 97 million roles. But, there is a proven path - the AiCore programme.

Hundreds of learners commit to the programme to launch their careers every year. You will play a vital role in scaling this to 3000 this year.

We’ve been growing at +92% each quarter for over a year now. To keep up this pace, we need more ambitious individuals to join our high performing team and take on vital responsibilities.

Role Overview

We are looking for a Full Stack Developer to join our product team to work on our education web application.

This web application is the learning hub for our customers. Our comprehensive curriculum is built into a platform to take you from the basic to the state-of-the-art knowledge in AI through a structured program that includes: projects, quizzes, tests, and live group sessions.

As a Full Stack Developer, you will help accelerate the development of our platform so we can deliver the best education possible to our customers. Day to day, you will be writing code to implement web app user interfaces, create API resources, and interact with AWS services to architect new features. Given the small size of our software team, you will have a big impact on the design and architecture of the front- and backend. The core part of your role will be to contribute to the building of new features across the entire product. You will be a key player in the initiative to build a truly great platform for education, with projects including: an engine to parse data from our users and the job market to deliver insights which will inform content development and provide recommendations to users; an instant, self-serve support system which integrates into our existing on-demand live support; and a careers support system which will alleviate AiCore customers of all the undifferentiated heavy lifting that comes with kicking off a new career.

The Role:

• Working with Typescript, React.js, Redux and Material UI to develop beautifully-engineered user interfaces and components within our platform.
• Utilising a range of AWS services such as CloudFormation, API Gateway and Lambda, to build robust and secure APIs that power our application.
• Interacting with PostgreSQL via the Prisma ORM to architect the models required for new features.
• Having the opportunity to take the lead on new tech initiatives, be it to develop huge new features for our users or drive internal change to maximise the productivity of our engineering team.
• Working closely with the team to ensure that the highest possible standards are maintained. You will be expected to critically review your peers' code to ensure that it is clean, idiomatic, secure and maintainable.
• Helping the team work directly with internal and external customers to quickly resolve any bugs or technical issues.
• Being a core member of the scrum team and helping to continuously improve our agile processes.

About you:

• Hold an extreme passion for engineering excellence and seek to continuously outdo yourself.
• Experienced in building full-stack web applications using React and Typescript.
• Competent user of Git and GitHub.
• Hold pride in your work because it delivers value to others.
• Have a curious mindset, ask lots of questions and seek to learn new things.
• Desire to take ownership of large areas of the product codebase, perhaps with the aspiration of managing a team of developers dedicated to that function.

Technologies we use:

• Frontend: Typescript, React.js, Redux, Material UI, Websockets
• Backend: Typescript, Node.js, AWS CloudFormation / Serverless Application Model, AWS Lambda, AWS API Gateway, SNS, SQS, STEP Functions
• Database: PostgreSQL, Prisma, AWS RDS
• Other: Github Actions, AWS CodePipeline, Zapier
• Languages: Typescript, Javascript, CloudFormation (yaml), Python, Amazon States Language

Why you might be excited about us…

We're working to solve a massive global problem and help people achieve their dream career outcome. If you're passionate about empowering people to change their futures, you'll love helping build our product.

We're small, so you'll be able to contribute efficiently and without bureaucracy. You'll quickly have responsibility over big areas of our product.

We don't have a ton of meetings. If we can effectively solve a problem asynchronously, we do. When we do meet synchronously, you'll always have the opportunity to contribute.

You'll be able to work remotely. We don't micromanage and will help you do great work.

We'll mould your role to shape a career you're excited about. We care a ton about your satisfaction and job happiness, and will help prep you for whatever you're looking for in the future.
