[Hiring] Lead Engineer @Save My Exams

Role Description

Save My Exams is a rapidly growing EdTech business on the lookout for a Lead Engineer to run the engineering side of our monetisation work. We are a customer-obsessed, remote-first company that improves the lives of millions of students every year.

Every year, we help students all over the world get the best possible grades in their high-stakes exams - this year more than 30m students, teachers, and parents will use our product. We're bootstrapped and profitable, which means we invest on our own terms and don't depend on the next funding round.

You'll join our Freemium squad: the team that owns everything between a free visit and a paying member. That's the registration wall, paywalls, free trials, checkout, pricing and plan tiers, upgrade, renewals and cancellation flows, and how free users come to see the value of going premium.

• Small team: two senior engineers, a senior product builder, and a share of our CRM manager's time.
• Direction set by our Chief Product Officer.
• Report to our Head of Engineering.
• Run more experiments than any other team at Save My Exams.
• Write every result up, good or bad, for future tests.

We're hiring you because we want to run more of these tests, faster, and in parallel.

• A track record of designing, running and reading many A/B tests on conversion, sign-up, pricing or checkout funnels.
• Experience at lead or senior level shaping a team's technical direction and reviewing others' work.
• Hands-on, daily use of AI coding tools and agents.
• Clear written communication: project docs, experiment write-ups, decisions made in Slack.
• User centricity and an attitude of taking responsibility for what you ship to students.

Requirements

• Experience designing, running and reading A/B tests, including instrumentation, sample size, guardrails, and rollbacks.
• Judgement to delegate decisions to the people best placed to make them.
• Experience automating part of an experiment or release pipeline with AI tools.
• Must be based within 3 hours of GMT.

Benefits

• Fully remote work with the option to work from our London office.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with our favoured tools: Next.js, React, Express, Postgres, Stripe, Amplitude Experiment.
• Statistics for experimentation beyond the defaults: sequential testing, interference, segmentation.
• Experience with subscription pricing, plan tiering or payments.
• Line management experience; this role may grow to include line managing the squad's engineers.
