We are adopters of leading OSS cloud stacks like Netflix OSS and Spring Cloud for building resilient, fault tolerant and scalable products. Our developers believe in giving back to the community and are actively involved in the OSS projects through pull requests or technical discussions.

Is familiar with some of the Java technologies described above, where the Spring family (Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, …) has a well deserved first place
Knows how to build services that scale, in general is familiar with how to implement architectural concerns like availability, layering, reliability, reuse, serviceability and security
Cares about code quality and craftsmanship; enjoys aspects like code review, static code analysis, pyramid of tests, test automation to a high degree
Is a product developer; cares about his products and about the customers; wants to be involved in all the SDLC and beyond and consistently questions if what is going to be built is going to bring value to his customers
Is a firm believer in freedom and responsibility; this continues to be a core principle in what we do here in Language Cloud and RWS Cluj
Knows how to get things done and learned that make it run then make it right then make it fast is a good recipe for quick delivery
Wants to be part of a Scrum team that is highly self-organized, owns micro services from inception to production support (you build it, you run it mentality) and is in synch with other Scrum teams implementing Scaled Agile Framework
Believes that in modern software development attitude and motivation plus ability to learn fast is more important than skills and expertise
Takes time to sharpen the saw and to enjoy the journey

Benefits
Who are we?
Memrise is a popular and established global language learning tool with a unique brain-science-backed pedagogy.
Our goal is to "Help people acquire a language, profitably."
For the foreseeable future, Memrise is intensely focused on three strategies to accomplish this goal:
Land all three legs of our pedagogical stool (Learn | Immerse | Communicate)
Become the greatest language content company
Dramatically grow registrations
All of these things require a volume of content that is many orders of magnitude greater than we have today. The only way we will get to the scale we need to deliver on these three strategic initiatives is to use the latest and greatest technologies to gather and deploy this content in an orderly manner and have a solid infrastructure behind it.
We want to make people’s lives better by helping people learn to hold a conversation with, and genuinely understand native speakers in a multitude of languages.
We believe that better communication between people across the world from different backgrounds will contribute towards making it a better place.
With over 60m user accounts, an App Store rating of 4.7/5 and Google Play rating of 4.6/5 from 1.5million reviews, and millions of daily active users, we’re an ambitious digital company in the exciting and ever-growing EdTech industry.
A key part of our product appeal lies in the humour of our content, and in authentically understanding diversity and nuances across cultures and what appeals to different people. So if you’re looking for a role that’s less big-corporate and where being yourself is regarded as an asset: we strongly suggest you consider applying!
What’s the working environment like?
After two years of being away from the office, we’re gently transitioning to a hybrid working environment.
Since COVID hit, we’ve prioritised the welfare of our staff and so - to date - office attendance has been voluntary (although incentivised with catered food, learning events and parties!). It’s worth noting our office location is on the doorstep of Spitalfields market in London with its delicious and varied lunchtime food offerings! Historically, we’ve been a very sociable company with plenty of parties, and where colleagues become great friends.
The future of what work looks like continues to remain an active conversation, but across the company we’ve committed that teams will not be expected into the office more than two days a week. In practice, this is likely to be less, as we adapt pragmatically in a changeable world.
You’ll join our London team of open-minded, big-hearted, goal-oriented ‘Memrisians’, made up of linguists, developers, designers, marketers and more, all working together to do great things. Get in touch if you want to join the team.
Generous Learning and Development budget for training, conferences, books and L&D leave
Enhanced Parental Leave
Flexible working options
Private health insurance with Vitality, and related perks (50% off a Virgin and Nuffield Health Gym memberships)
Dental insurance with Unum
Language classes with in-office and virtual tutors
Cycle-to-work scheme
Remote talks, socials, and parties
We’re an equal opportunity employer. If it’s okay, we’re not going to list examples of people and groups we don’t discriminate against. We don’t discriminate, full stop. We celebrate.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is keen on designing, building, deploying, and operating the Memrise backend systems that help people around the world learn new languages, enriching their minds so they can enrich their world.
This is a great time to join our team. We are rolling out a completely new learning experience and doing some fascinating work in using the world’s video content to immerse people in the languages they are learning. We are seeking someone who listens to others, offers their own wisdom, and then rolls up their sleeves to do the work, bringing others along with them.
Can you tell me more about Memrise’s tech?
Our backend is primarily Python with some Django, hosted in the cloud using Kubernetes. All our infrastructure is configured with Terraform, and we have a continuous deployment pipeline for most systems including the backend and website. Currently, we’re using MySQL but are looking at re-architecting our database as part of company ambitions to significantly scale our product and content.
What will I be accountable for?
Working with in-house and external engineering teams to design and implement new features in the Memrise platform
Identifying ways to improve the Memrise user experience by improving our backend code and then bringing it to fruition
Accelerating engineering, product development, and the business at Memrise by improving the tools we use day-to-day and building new ones

With over 60m user accounts, an App Store rating of 4.7/5 and Google Play rating of 4.6/5 from 1.5million reviews, and millions of daily active users, we’re an ambitious digital company in the exciting and ever-growing EdTech industry.
A key part of our product appeal lies in the humour of our content, and in authentically understanding diversity and nuances across cultures and what appeals to different people. So if you’re looking for a role that’s less big-corporate and where being yourself is regarded as an asset: we strongly suggest you consider applying!
What’s the working environment like?
After two years of being away from the office, we’re gently transitioning to a hybrid working environment. That said, we are willing to support fully remote positions within the UK as appropriate.
Since COVID hit, we’ve prioritised the welfare of our staff and so - to date - office attendance has been voluntary (although incentivised with free food, learning events and parties!). It’s worth noting our office location is on the doorstep of Spitalfields market in London with its delicious and varied lunchtime food offerings! Historically, we’ve been a very sociable company with plenty of parties, and where colleagues become great friends.
The future of what work looks like continues to remain an active conversation, but across the company we’ve committed that teams will not be expected into the office more than two days a week. In practice, this is likely to be less, as we adapt pragmatically in a changeable world.
You’ll join our London team of open-minded, big-hearted, goal-oriented ‘Memrisians’, made up of linguists, developers, designers, marketers and more, all working together to do great things. Get in touch if you want to join the team.

Who are we?
Memrise is a popular and established global language learning tool with a unique brain-science-backed pedagogy.

Land all three legs of our pedagogical stool (Learn | Immerse | Communicate)
Become the greatest language content company
Dramatically grow registrations
All of these things require a volume of content that is many orders of magnitude greater than we have today.
