What does the day-to-day look like as a Senior Software Engineer at BPP:

Join us as a Senior Software Engineer at BPP, where each day unfolds with a blend of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

You'll leverage modern software development practices to deliver business value at an agile pace. Beyond designing and building highly complex systems, you'll showcase your leadership prowess through the mentorship of junior team members.

In this key role, we're transforming BPP Education into a customer-centred, design and data-informed hub. Your contributions are vital in building products that not only meet but exceed our users' needs across our education ecosystem.

Your influence extends beyond coding; you architect solutions that redefine standards, ensuring clean, efficient, and well-documented code in alignment with our coding practices. Engaging in collaborative code reviews, you champion quality and future maintainability, fostering a collective commitment to excellence.

You impart not just knowledge but a culture of best-in-class engineering—embracing clean coding, pair programming, strategic debt management, and the prowess of cloud-native solutions.

you dive into observability metrics and user feedback, steering our technical progress with insightful analysis.

you're at the forefront of emerging technologies and trends, ensuring our software engineering landscape remains cutting-edge.

Join us on our mission to be the best engineering team in the higher education sector in the UK, to deliver innovative and user-centric software solutions that enhance the academic experience for students, faculty, and staff


Proven experience as a senior (or similar level) software engineer working in an agile environment.
You will have deep knowledge of modern full stack and cloud technologies such as Typescript, React, Node.js, Next.js & AWS.
You will be an expert in test driven development practices using frameworks such as Jest, Cypress and React Testing Library.
We have designed our hiring process to be efficient and to help you show your best self. Final interview – This will include a technical interview for 90 minutes with two of our Software Engineers alongside a values interview for 45 minutes which will be a behavioural and competency-based interview.


We have offices all over the UK, however our Product & Tech roles are primarily based out of our offices in London (soon to be near Waterloo). Our overarching flexible working principle is - We're all trusted, engaged in what we do, and are all individually best placed to balance the varying demands on our time from work, family and any other commitments we might have.

Unless you're a remote worker, we expect you to be in the office a couple of times a week, aligned to the days your colleagues are in, to build better relationships and get the benefits of face-to-face communications, as well as those ad hoc discussions that aid problem solving.


We use a modern technology stack that allows for rapid iterative delivery using the best-in-class standards and principals that drive up quality and focus on the customer experience. We are building a service-based architecture driven by events and are cloud native with AWS.

On the front-end we are creating amazing user experiences for our customers with Next.JS, React &Typescript, using Node & Python on the server side and GraphQL to power our middleware APIs.

At the core of our products is our data, we leverage a combination of relational and non-relational data stores such as RDS, Redis & Dynamo.

To productionise our digital products, we use Terraform to provision our infrastructure and GitHub Actions as our CI/CD pipeline. In our pipelines we run our Unit, Automation and Security tests to keep our quality bar high.

We leverage tools such as Localstack to replicate the AWS environment on our development machines and ensure that we have the best developer experience possible.

In AWS, we are leveraging much of its native functionality. Fargate is used to host our web applications that are built on Next.js. We are using AWS AppSync to power our GraphQL middleware and AWS EventBridge as our serverless event bus. We are utilising other core features of AWS that enable us to create solutions for our customers.

Behind all of this, we make community driven decisions on all things tech by leveraging RFC’s (request for comments) and ADR’s (architecture decision records). This ensures that we document our decisions and that decisions are informed and agreed upon by the technology community.


You'll get acquainted with company policies, team dynamics, and the tools and technologies used within the organisation.

Project Contributions: As you become more comfortable, you'll start contributing to ongoing projects. Company Culture: Use these initial months to understand the company culture. Building good relationships is as important as mastering coding skills.
Building Confidence: It's normal to feel a bit overwhelmed initially. Stay curious, be proactive, and enjoy the journey of becoming a proficient software engineer.
