Job Description

Gizmo is an innovative AI startup revolutionizing the learning landscape with a mission to make education accessible to everyone. With over 1 million monthly active users and $4M in annual recurring revenue, they're one of the UK's fastest-growing startups, recently securing $16M in Series A funding. They're building a Duolingo-like platform for universal learning, leveraging gamification and social mechanics to make learning engaging and fun.

As a Full-Stack Engineer with a frontend focus, you'll work directly with the Founders to shape the product experience for their growing user base. The role combines frontend expertise with full-stack capabilities, focusing on creating intuitive, playful, and engaging learning experiences. You'll be instrumental in building and shipping features that bring their vision to life, working with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind, while also contributing to backend services using Python and PostgreSQL when needed.

The position offers an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced, collaborative team during a crucial growth phase. You'll own features end-to-end, from technical design to implementation and iteration, while working closely with designers and product managers to translate Figma designs into functional code. The ideal candidate is a self-starter with startup experience, driven by impact and not afraid of new challenges.

Benefits include competitive compensation, equity ownership, and a hybrid working model with 4 days in their East London office. As one of the earliest employees, you'll have the chance to make a significant impact and grow alongside a rapidly scaling startup that's already proving successful in the edtech space.
