We help people discover the magic of the perfect tutor, craft a personalised learning journey, and stay motivated to keep growing. Our approach is human-led, tech-enabled
- and it's creating real impact.
We've just reached unicorn status with a $150M Series D, accelerating our vision to transform education through human-led, AI-enhanced learning. As a category-defining company, we're shaping what the future of learning looks like at integral scale.
Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters. Joining Preply means helping define the future of education at global scale, and building something that truly matters for millions of people, every day.
Meet the TeamAt Preply, we build scalable and reliable applications using Python/Django, with a strong focus on data, A/B testing, and feedback from students and tutors to guide our decisions. We prioritize product quality through robust monitoring, metrics analysis, and continuous optimization. Our Platform Tribe builds and operates the internal products that make it simple, safe, fast, and reliable for engineers to deliver value. The platform is designed around opinionated, well-supported paved paths, self-service by default, and guardrails over gates.
You will work across platform squads (Infrastructure, Runtime and Data, Developer Platform, Application Platform, Frontend Platform, Mobile Platform) to set technical direction, unblock complex problems, raise the quality bar through mentorship, and ship production changes hands-on.
We've reached 90%+ adoption of AI coding tools across engineering, and we're now moving towards more autonomous, AI-Augmented development at scale. We have diverse technical challenges that will allow you to develop your skills across the stack
- sometimes we write about them in our Engineering Blog.
Please visit our Tech Radar and our YouTube channel to learn more about the technologies we use at Preply Go deep on high-impact reliability and performance problems, including root cause analysis, remediation design, automation to prevent recurrence, and postmortem follow-through.
Build and operate critical platform services and tooling that serve production traffic and internal users, with strong engineering quality and operational discipline.
Act as a multiplier through mentorship: coaching senior engineers and tech leads, improving design quality, and raising execution standards across the tribe.
Use data to guide priorities and measure outcomes (delivery health, reliability signals, adoption, and satisfaction), and help teams turn metrics into durable improvements.
What you need to succeedStrong track record as a senior technical leader (Staff, Principal, or equivalent) delivering cross-team impact: setting standards, aligning stakeholders, de-risking complex technical decisions, and landing changes in production.
Deep experience with DevOps and cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS): networking basics, identity and access patterns, infrastructure automation, and operational best practices.
Experience with CI/CD systems, build and test reliability, artifact management, and developer workflows.
Strong foundations in reliability engineering: observability, alerting, incident response, capacity planning, and automation-driven prevention.
Comfort writing production-quality tooling through AI-assisted coding.
