- Here, you also address any blockers that may arise, emphasizing collaboration as the key to ensuring smooth progress
- Next, you dive into your tasks from the agile board
- This could involve writing efficient, scalable, and maintainable code, participating in pull request and code reviews, and contributing to product backlog refinement sessions as needed
- Your input helps shape the direction of the project and ensures alignment with team goals
- Additionally, you collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and maintain robust web applications using React and Python

Application process
- We’re excited that you’re interested in working with us in the Full Stack Engineer position. We’ve tried to make the application process as streamlined and painless as possible. Below you can have a peek at our hiring process, so you know what to expect
- Click the apply button on this page (simple enough, right?)
- Next, you’ll be taken to another form where you’ll upload your resume, provide answers to a few additional questions, and only add a cover letter if you wish (you’re welcome)
- After the application is completed and you’ve clicked ‘Send,’ you’ll receive a confirmation email, so you know that your application has been received, safely and soundly
- Within approximately 30 days, you will hear from our recruitment team for an update on your application
- If our team thinks the role is a great match for your profile, we will reach out to schedule a first interview. This will normally be a 30-minute chat through Teams to hear more about you and we will also share more about Zensai. It’s like speed-dating but with a bit more information
- After this conversation, we will provide feedback on our conversation and let you know if we’d like to keep progressing with you along the hiring journey. If we see a match, the next steps typically include a technical assessment. Here you will be asked to partake in a coding test to showcase your skills
- If you pass the test with flying colors, we’ll invite you along for an interview together with the hiring manager. This will usually be a 1-hour meeting over Teams where we would like to dig deeper into your technical skills and experience in the field based on your coding test
- Within an average of 35 days (we always like to shoot for sooner than later) you’ll know if it’s a “Yes, please!” or a “Maybe later” for joining our team
- For roles based in the UK, we will conduct right-to-work verification. For all positions, references will be required to validate your application

Our take
As the global race for talent heats up, companies are looking more closely at ways to upskill their employees through tailored training courses. However, engagement can be spotty, as unfamiliar tools and awkward interfaces can easily put off learners. Enter Zensai, a learning management system built to meet learners where they already are, with tools that they use in their everyday work.
Zensai is not a new company - since 2009 (when it was known as Elearningforce), it has been embedded in Microsoft products, at first in SharePoint but more recently in the Office 365 suite and Teams. This tight integration gives it an advantage over competitors such as Workday or Eloomi, where users need to adapt to a new environment (and remember to tab over to it!). This means Zensai doesn't need to focus on developing integrations with other ecosystems, and gives it an enormous addressable market of a third of a billion users.
Already boasting a large customer base, including enterprises such as Pepsi, Maersk and Hellmann, Zensai raised funding in an investment round led by Blue Cloud Ventures in 2023. This investment is being channelled into a major growth drive, fuelling expansion through strategic acquisitions in the US, Germany and Australia. It seems well poised to build a commanding lead in the learning management space.
