Product Engineer

ABOUT US

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 from strong Investors - one of Europe's largest education rounds in the past 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 a truly driven team of 60 hands on builders serving 1 billion students worldwide. If we execute on our product vision, you will have built something that transforms education globally.

This is your chance to be part of building a generational company.

Your mission

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.

Why this matters: Knowunity is on a mission to become the AI learning companion for 1 billion students. As a Product Engineer, the features you build will shape how students study, stay motivated, and succeed - while helping us grow DAU, retention, and long term impact.

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 story 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

Your track record

You've built real products in a fast moving environment - shipping features, fixing bugs, and balancing quality with speed. You bring hands on experience with either frontend/mobile frameworks like Flutter, React, or Vue.js, or backend technologies like Go, TypeScript, or Python. You care deeply about users, love clean interfaces, and aren't afraid to get scrappy to solve real problems.
