About Atom Learning
Our mission is to help every child reach their potential. We combine teacher-made content with technology, data science and machine learning to make high-quality, personalised education more accessible.
Nearly half a million children have learned on Atom, answering over 750 million questions. Since 2018, we’ve grown from four founders to over 100 colleagues across 10 countries. We’re remote-first, with our main office in London.
The role
Help build the data platform behind products that predict exam outcomes, personalise learning and give teachers meaningful assessment insights.
On our busiest days, we process over a million new question responses. You’ll own how that data is collected, moved, transformed and made available, contributing to customer-facing features while helping colleagues use trusted data effectively.
You’ll work closely with engineers, product managers and education experts, with the autonomy to shape solutions and take responsibility for their impact.
Our stack includes Python, SQL, BigQuery, dbt, Airflow, pub/sub and CockroachDB. Data flows into analytics and modelling, and back into our products.
How we work
We have a flat structure built on trust, autonomy and ownership. Engineers help decide what to build and balance speed, quality and scalability.
AI-assisted engineering is central to our approach. We use AI tools and agents to research, prototype, investigate and build, alongside strong engineering judgement and accountability.
What you’ll do
- Build reliable, scalable data pipelines and models powering predictive features, adaptive learning and assessment insights.
- Shape our data platform using Python, SQL and dbt, improving data quality, observability and reliability.
- Partner with engineering, product, commercial and education teams to solve problems and measure impact.
- Create reusable tools and models that help teams access and use trusted data confidently.
- Use AI tools to research, prototype and build, contributing to APIs, product features or automation where needed.
- Review code, share expertise and mentor colleagues to strengthen data engineering across Atom.
Who you are
- An experienced data engineer with strong Python and SQL skills and a track record of building and scaling production data systems.
- Confident in data modelling, database architecture, cloud warehouses, orchestration and transformation frameworks.
- Comfortable owning ambiguous problems from discovery through delivery and ongoing improvement, balancing speed, quality and scalability.
- Product-minded and focused on meaningful outcomes, with the flexibility to contribute beyond your specialism.
- Collaborative, generous with your expertise and able to communicate clearly with technical and non-technical colleagues.
- Confident using AI tools and agents, and comfortable working with high autonomy and accountability.
Experience that will set you apart
- BigQuery, Airflow and dbt, or equivalent technologies.
- CockroachDB or Postgres, and CDC or event-driven pipelines.
- Tableau, Metabase or self-service data tools, including LLM-powered interfaces.
- Product analytics or customer-facing, data-powered features.
Benefits
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays;
- 3 days winter leave;
- Work from anywhere in the UK or within GMT +/-2 hours time zone; we're a remote-first company;
- Annual L&D budget;
- Private medical;
- EMI options available;
- Access to wellbeing platform;
- Competitive pay;
- Enhanced family leave;
- Monthly remote and in-person events in London;
- High degree of autonomy and exposure to the running of all business areas of a successful startup;
- Brilliant colleagues and the opportunity to become an integral member of a fast-growing tech company.
