Why are we searching for you?We want to strengthen our ability to innovate and stay ahead in the era of AI. Studyportals has a strong pipeline of strategic ideas that we're transforming into tangible experiments and new products.
As part of our new R&D team, you'll play a key role in exploring emerging technologies, testing bold ideas, and building prototypes that could shape the future of our platforms. Your work helps us discover what truly drives value for students and universities - combining creativity, data, and engineering craftsmanship to turn innovation into impact.
What are your three main goals?- Experiment and innovate by exploring new technologies, especially AI, to build and validate early-stage ideas through rapid technical prototyping and data-driven experimentation.
- Deliver real impact by turning promising concepts into product features that help students discover study opportunities tailored to them, increasing engagement, retention, and overall platform value. You ensure we build high-quality and scalable products.
- Help us to become more scalable as a platform, by decoupling our dependencies and driving our microservice architecture. Staying in control of quality is key!
The Product Engineering department consists of 35 talented engineers and designers, organized into small, autonomous teams. You'll join a cross-functional R&D team of five, working closely with your Product Owner to explore and develop new ideas that increase user engagement and harness the potential of AI.
As part of this team, you have real influence - from identifying opportunities to designing, building, and validating solutions. The R&D team operates with a strong sense of ownership, focusing on rapid experimentation, technical excellence and scalability, and learning through iteration.
You'll be supported by experienced technical leadership that ensures you have the freedom, tools, and guidance to innovate, remove roadblocks, and continuously grow as an engineer.

Virtually all our systems have been developed in-house and are following modern quality standards. We work in a service-oriented architecture, powered by our own RESTful API and AWS. In parallel, we are scaling up our infrastructure, moving towards SOC2 compliance.
We also experiment with new technologies when they help us innovate faster or smarter - from AI tooling to emerging frameworks.
