ABOUT EDROLO 

At Edrolo, we're trusted by thousands of Australian teachers and students for curriculum-aligned video content and an extensive library of practice questions. Our newest product, MESHA, is a comparative assessment platform that surfaces misconceptions between NAPLAN years, giving teachers intelligence to act before small gaps compound. Our aim is the Results System: connecting insight, recommendation and practice.


WHO YOU ARE 

Hands-on by default

  • You write code, review code and unblock teams, not just whiteboard. Your PRs set the standard others follow.

Customer-first instinct

  • You build toward outcomes teachers and students actually feel, not tickets closed. You know the difference between done and done well.

Architecture that ships

  • You make the right structural calls without over-engineering. You balance long-term soundness with the reality of a fast-moving team.

Claude-accelerated delivery

  • You leverage Claude to move faster, write better code and help your team do the same. This isn't theoretical for you.


WHAT YOU'LL BE WORKING ACROSS

  • Adaptive UX — Build experiences tailored to how teachers and students actually work: interfaces that feel personal, responsive and genuinely useful.
  • Results System — Build the connective tissue between insight, recommendation and practice — the core of Edrolo's product vision.
  • AI feature integration — Bring LLM-powered capabilities to the surface in a way students and teachers can trust and actually use.
  • Platform foundations — Identify and close the technical gaps that slow the team down: reliability, observability and developer experience.


WHAT YOU'LL OWN

  • Ship customer-facing features end-to-end, from design alignment through to production, with high craft and clear ownership
  • Lead architecture decisions across key product areas, making calls that the team can build confidently on for years
  • Embed Claude across the team's development workflow: tooling, habits and practices that compound over time
  • Define system design standards: APIs, data contracts, service boundaries and integration patterns across products
  • Mentor engineers through pairing and review, raising the technical floor without slowing the team down
  • Partner with product and design to scope and sequence work so the right things get built in the right order
  • Collaborate openly across a small, fast-moving team: share context early, surface blockers quickly and contribute to a culture where everyone knows what's happening and why


EVERYONE IS WELCOME 

Edrolo is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences — including women, people of colour, people with disabilities, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, carers, and First Nations peoples. We believe diverse perspectives make our products better and our team stronger. If you don't tick every box in this description but feel excited by the mission, we'd still love to hear from you.

Skills Required

  • Write production-quality code, perform code reviews, and unblock teams
  • Customer-first product mindset, delivering usable outcomes for teachers and students
  • Make architecture decisions balancing long-term soundness and shipping speed
  • Practical experience embedding and leveraging Claude or other LLMs in development workflows
  • Experience integrating LLM-powered features into customer-facing products
  • Experience improving platform foundations: reliability, observability, and developer experience
  • Define system design standards: APIs, data contracts, service boundaries and integration patterns
  • Mentor engineers through pairing and reviews and raise the technical floor
