Full job description

At Aspris, our vision is to support our colleagues and young people to achieve their potential

Aspris is building a new, greenfield platform to underpin our next phase of digital capability. We are seeking a Principal Engineer to take a leading technical role in shaping, building, and evolving this platform. Software in the education space is often outdated and lacks modern engineering approaches. This role will help us demonstrate what is possible - delivering meaningful impact for Teachers and Young People.

Working closely with the CIO, this role will play a key role in transitioning development in-house and establishing a sustainable internal engineering capability. This is a hands-on role requiring full-stack expertise, strong architectural thinking, and an interest in emerging approaches such as agentic development.

Responsibilities

Lead technical collaboration with our digital partner, Faculty, on the design and development of a new greenfield platform
Contribute to architecture and engineering decisions during early build phases alongside Faculty
Work directly with Python (FastAPI) services developed in partnership with Faculty, contributing to implementation and evolution
Take ownership of Aspris’ AWS environment during development, ensuring scalability, security, and cost efficiency
Design and build full-stack solutions leveraging React, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and modern UI frameworks (e.g. shadcn)

What experience or qualifications will you need?

Strong full-stack engineering capability across modern web applications
Hands-on experience with Python (ideally FastAPI), React and PostgreSQL
Strong experience with AWS (infrastructure, deployment, and environment ownership)
Familiarity with modern component/UI systems (e.g. shadcn or similar)
Ability to work effectively across a partner-led delivery model, collaborating with external engineering teams
Understanding of software architecture patterns and cloud-native design
Interest in or experience with agentic / AI-assisted development workflows
Comfortable operating in ambiguous, early-stage environments with high autonomy
Strong communication skills, particularly when working across internal teams and external partners

By joining our friendly and supportive team, you will also be part of a company that invests in you for personal and professional development and provide a range of benefits including:

25 days annual leave plus 8 days bank holiday, plus birthday day leave. 25 days increase to 27 and then 30 days based on length of service
Aspris rewards and discount scheme
Comprehensive induction plan
Pension scheme
Commitment to your on-going training and career progression
We cover the cost of your enhanced disclosure check (if required)
Employee recognition scheme
Employee assistance programme
Tech Scheme - can buy tech and then pay it back through salary sacrifice
Cycle to work scheme - can buy a bike and then pay it back through salary sacrifice
Wellbeing support
