Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption.
We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today’s workforce.
Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance.
In June 2022, we announced a $220 million Series D funding round co-led by StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. With a post-money valuation of $1.7bn, the round makes us the UK’s first EdTech unicorn.
But we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output.
Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era.
We believe the best user experiences happen when exceptional design and engineering push each other forward. We’re looking for a Design Engineer to help us scale best-in-class UX to almost half a million learners.
Design engineering is a spectrum—we welcome design-minded engineers and code-curious designers. 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.
The Opportunity
You’ll join a multidisciplinary team spanning brand, product design, and engineering. Our immediate focus: strengthening and evolving Multiverse’s design system so our suite of applications is consistent, accessible, and performant 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 shape how design and engineering collaborate, and help prove out the next generation of design engineering at Multiverse.
But wait, what do we mean by “agentic design system”?
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.
