Software Engineering Teaching Assistant, US

We are Multiverse, a tech startup with a social mission. We’re creating a diverse group of future leaders by building an outstanding alternative to college and corporate training. In June 2022, we announced our $220m Series D raise, making Multiverse a mission-driven unicorn. This funding will help us to accelerate our growth in the US, where we’re committed to tackling the toughest challenges facing those who seek jobs - and those who provide them.

In our first year in the US, we launched over 20 apprentice cohorts at some of the best companies in America, including American Express, Citizens Bank, and Verizon. Globally, we work with over 500 clients and we’ve been recognized as one of the fastest-growing businesses in Europe.
