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 Front End Engineer to focus on our Design System 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.

Specifically You Will

  • Build, evolve, and maintain our design system (React, TypeScript, Tailwind)

  • Ensure our components are accessible, performant, and tested to production standards (observability, accessibility, responsive quality)

  • Partner closely with designers to bring Figma concepts to production with high fidelity

  • Collaborate with engineers to deliver best-in-class developer experience

  • Prototype and test new workflows that leverage AI and agentic tools

  • Mentor engineers and designers across the org to elevate front-end craft and adoption of scalable systems

  • Contribute to our vision: enabling product and design to ship high-quality experiences faster, with less friction

About You

  • 5+ years in design or frontend engineering roles, delivering production-quality UIs

  • Strong in at least two of: Figma, React + TypeScript, or design system engineering (and eager to grow in the others)

  • Experience building design systems in production: accessibility, performance, and sprinkles of delight matter to you

  • Curiosity about AI-assisted workflows and how they might reshape design and development

  • Skilled collaborator and communicator across design, product, and platform teams

  • Bonus: experience building products for other designers or engineers

Benefits

  • Time off - 27 days holiday, plus 5 additional days off: 1 life event day, 2 volunteer days, 2 company-wide wellbeing days (M-Powered Weekend) and 8 bank holidays per year

  • Health & Wellness- private medical Insurance with Bupa, a medical cashback scheme, life insurance, gym membership & wellness resources through Wellhub and access to Spill - all in one mental health support

  • Hybrid work offering- we collaborate in the office 3 days per week

  • Work-from-anywhere scheme- you'll have the opportunity to work from anywhere, up to 10 days per year

  • Team fun - weekly socials, company wide events and office snacks!

We expect all employees to share this commitment and adhere to our Safeguarding Policy, our Prevent Policy and all other Multiverse company policies.

For roles that will involve a Regulated Activity, successful applicants must also undergo an Enhanced DBS check, including a Children’s Barred List check and a Prohibition Order check.

Providing false information is an offence and could result in the application being rejected or summary dismissal if the applicant has been selected, and possible referral to the police and the DBS.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.
