Who we are

Blackbullion is an award winning edtech company transitioning into fintech. We work with over 60 clients across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland providing financial education, access to funding and tools to manage money to students around the world. So far in 2024 we've scaled up our team, launched our app and started our Series A funding round.

Who you are

We’re looking for a senior full-stack engineer to join our engineering team. You'll be leading on the development of our student and client facing web platform which delivers learning content, funding opportunities and analytics to our users. This is primarily a backend role but you'll have the opportunity to work on features end-to-end.

Day to day, you will also be mentoring and managing the other engineers in the platform team.

In short, you're a product-focused engineer interested in building out experiences that truly make a difference for our growing student and client userbase. You'll be taking ownership of new features alongside scaling up our existing platform.

The web platform stack includes:

• Our backend uses PHP and Laravel
