Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a strong engineer who is design-minded and passionate about systems-level thinking
- 5+ years in a senior frontend engineering role, with a proven track record of delivering production-quality UIs
- Expert-level knowledge of React, TypeScript, and modern front-end tooling. (Experience with Tailwind is a strong plus)
- Deep experience building, scaling, and maintaining a design system or similar foundational component library
- A strong understanding of (and passion for) web accessibility (WCAG) and core web performance metrics
- You have a strong eye for design and UX, and you're comfortable collaborating closely with designers to implement advanced motion, interaction, and brand elements and find the best technical solutions for their vision
- Experience with AI/agentic tooling or a strong curiosity to explore new technologies is highly desirable
What the job involves
- We believe the best user experiences are built on a foundation of exceptional engineering and thoughtful design
- We’re looking for a Senior Front End Engineer to own the technical architecture and implementation of our Design System, helping us scale best-in-class UX to almost half a million learners
- This role sits at the intersection of engineering and design, but with a primary focus on technical execution
- You’ll work on our design system and other foundational frontend initiatives, with the freedom to explore how new technologies (AI, agentic tools) can transform the way we build
- You’ll join a multidisciplinary team, working as a key engineering partner alongside product design and brand
- Our immediate focus: strengthening and evolving Multiverse’s design system so our suite of applications is performant, accessible, and consistent at scale
- Beyond that, you’ll explore how agentic workflows and AI-powered tooling can unlock new ways of working—helping teams prototype, experiment, and roll out changes across applications in minutes, not days
- You’ll define the engineering best practices for our design system, shape how engineering and design collaborate, and help prove out the next generation of front-end development at Multiverse
- We want to enhance our design system to a stage where changes can be made across our suite of applications in minutes, not days. We want to empower product and design to prototype and experiment without sacrificing quality through vibe-coded interfaces
- We want to give our developers and designers best-in-class tooling so they can focus on building quality products for users. We see agentic tooling as an unlock to enable new workflows and developer experience in all of these areas. This team will define and prove out this new way of working
- Architect, build, and maintain our scalable design system (React, TypeScript, Tailwind) collaborating with the AI Creator and foundational team on enhancing the strategic roadmap for the team
- Ensure our component library is performant, accessible, and robustly tested to production standards (observability, accessibility, responsive quality)
- Partner with engineers across product teams to drive adoption, integration, and delivery of a best-in-class developer experience
- Translate Figma concepts into reusable, production-ready components, owning the technical implementation and component APIs
- Prototype and test new front-end workflows that leverage AI and agentic tools
- Mentor other engineers to elevate front-end craft and adoption of scalable systems; act as the technical consultant for designers on feasibility and implementation
- Contribute to our vision: enabling product and design to ship high-quality experiences faster, with less friction

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Multiverse
Serena Vaughan (Career Mobility Lead)
- We want to be a leader in Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI), so we’re working hard to drive the change we want to see in the world, inside Multiverse.
- Everything we do in the DEI space is undertaken with the goal of being representative of the geographies in which we operate – and our apprentice community. Gender diversity has been a long-term challenge for the tech world. We're proud that 55% of our UK Team identify as women, this increases to 64% of our Global Leadership Team (director level and above). We're also proud of our thriving LGBTQQIAAP community, comprising 11% of our UK Team.
- We're committed to improving the diversity of our workforce, at all levels. We continue to invest in early talent through our in-house apprenticeship scheme – something we know is a fantastic route into our organization for exceptional talent from a diversity of backgrounds.
- Last year we identified improving the diversity of our Global Leadership Team (director level+) internally as an area of focus. Steps that we took included introducing robust DEI monitoring processes, rolling out Inclusive Recruitment Training to all staff involved in the hiring, and launching our first internal, Global Leadership Accelerator program.
- We’re proud that in the last 12 months, the representation of colleagues from ethnic minority backgrounds at director+ levels, globally, has increased from 6% to 19%. This is good progress but we still have work to do and are committed to building a leadership team that is representative of our colleagues and of the communities we serve.
