Engineering Manager (A)
Noon-The Social Learning Platform
Date: 3 days ago
City: London
Contract type: Full time
About Noon
Noon's mission is to radically change the way people learn, with a primary focus on the Middle East, where the company has its roots and where the need and urgency to improve education are highest.
We have taught over 12 million students successfully with our remote learning products. Our next big challenge is to build a network of schools, supported by top teachers and driven by technology and innovation, to positively impact even more lives.
Why work at Noon?
We are looking for a passionate leader who can grow and manage a distributed, high-performing team. This is a hybrid role (2 days in the office per week) based in our central London office, where the core of our tech team is located.
We need the best minds to help us scale what makes our school work: great teachers, active learning, and peer collaboration. Not lectures. Not AI gimmicks. A 24/7 experience where students debate, create, and learn by doing.
Responsibilities:
The process involves a recruiter call and then a technical interview (coding and architecture/system design interview), followed by an in-person interview in the London office that includes a behavioural interview.
Benefits
In addition to a competitive base salary, we offer:
We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences. If you’re passionate about making a real positive impact through education, even if you don’t meet all the requirements above, we encourage you to apply.
At Noon, we respect and value differences. We know that when people from different backgrounds and with different points of view work together, we create the most value – for our clients, our people, and society. We’re so lucky to live in a society where differences are celebrated, so we’d expect nothing less from our teams. That means whatever your race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender, this is a place to feel at home, express yourself freely, and make your mark. Noon is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of age, disability, gender identity, marital status, race, colour, ethnicity, religion, sex, national origin, or sexual orientation. We aim to be truly representative of the world and for each and every employee to feel respected.
Noon Academy is the leading edtech platform in the Middle East, with over 14 million students and teachers using our app to learn, teach, and collaborate. We have recently raised $41 million in Series B funding to expand our reach and impact in the region and beyond. We are on a mission to transform the physical classroom experience by introducing our highly engaging social, group-based learning and AI to make learning fun and improve learning efficacy. Our ultimate goal is to provide access to the best teachers to every student even if that teacher is only available virtually. We believe we can do this if we blend AI, peer-to-peer learning, and a carefully designed physical space.

Why work at Noon?
- The opportunity to have a real impact on millions of students.
- A strong leadership and engineering team to learn from.
- A solid runway: we recently closed our Series B and have substantial recurring revenue.
- We're building a new operating system for learning. If you're a builder who wants to solve hard problems in education—and create something students talk about 10 years later—we want to talk to you.

- Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing.
- Play a key role in improving and implementing processes and values.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product, design, operations, and learning teams.
- 2 years of experience as a people manager, with a desire to learn, improve, and jell with the team and successfully lead, manage, and coaching a team in a high-growth tech/product company.
- Strong technical skills, architectural knowledge, problem-solving abilities, and experience setting strategic direction.
- A passion for mentoring and supporting the career development of engineers.
- Experience building cross-functional teams, including recruiting, promoting, and onboarding.
- Bonus points if you have hands-on experience with Java, Spring Boot in the backend, or TypeScript, React or React Native in the frontend.
The process involves a recruiter call and then a technical interview (coding and architecture/system design interview), followed by an in-person interview in the London office that includes a behavioural interview.
