We are building a future where every student on the planet can access, enjoy, and benefit from the highest quality education. Since founding Knowunity straight out of high school in 2020, we've been committed to revolutionising how students learn.
Millions of students already use our AI learning companion weekly. We just raised €27m - Europe’s largest education round in the past three years. The AI learning market is at an inflection point, finally enabling true personalisation at scale, and we're determined to build the first AI learning unicorn in this space.
You will join an elite team of 60 hands-on builders serving 1 billion students worldwide. If we execute on our product vision, you will have built something generational that transforms education globally.
This is your chance to be part of building a generational company.The problem you’ll solve: You’ll turn complex user needs into simple, elegant product experiences that help millions of students learn more effectively - at speed and scale.
Your ownership:
- Build and own end-to-end product features that are used daily by millions of students, directly impacting how they learn and engage.
- Partner closely with product, design, and data to shape what we build - developing strong product opinions and translating them into impactful features.
- Focus on outcomes over implementation, using the best tools (including AI) to move fast and deliver real user and business value.
What success looks like: You’ll ship fast, learn quickly, and see your work used by millions of students around the world. You’ll contribute to both product direction and engineering quality - bringing clarity to trade-offs, opinions to discussions, and impact to metrics. Over time, you’ll become a key voice in the product-engineering loop, known for turning ideas into shipped, loved, and measurable outcomes.Your mindset
You’re the type of person who:
- Builds with urgency and care - you love moving fast without cutting corners, and you take pride in getting things shipped
- Thinks product-first - you see code as a means to serve the user, not as an end in itself
- Owns outcomes, not just tasks - you don’t wait for perfect specs or process; you figure out what’s needed and make it happen
- Loves simplicity - whether it's UX or code, you cut complexity and focus on what delivers value
- Leverages AI - as a force multiplier in everything you do
- Values excellence over comfort - mediocrity isn’t in your vocabulary
