About The Company

Tomorrow University: A Next-Generation University for Impactful Careers

Education is the most powerful lever for driving the transition to a sustainable society. That’s why we’ve built a university dedicated to educating and empowering the change-makers of tomorrow. We offer accredited degree programs designed to equip learners with 21st-century competencies while providing access to a world-class network of experts to maximize their impact.

As a remote-first institution, we use technology and AI to enable flexible, personalized learning - accessible from anywhere in the world.

We are proud to be the first EdTech startup in Europe with a fully state-recognized university license and to be ranked among the Top 20 EdTech startups globally.

Our Inspiration

We believe that transforming education requires rethinking how we teach. At Tomorrow University, we move beyond the traditional, teacher-centered approach and embrace a student-centric learning model. Our goal is to equip learners with the essential skills and mindset needed to create global impact, supported by a vast network of change-makers.

Our Mission

At Tomorrow University, we leverage science and technology to enhance learning while fostering a global community for continuous growth and impact. Our students learn by applying their knowledge to real-world challenges and engaging with world-class educators, mentors, and partners from around the globe.

Be aware that all of our positions are completely Remote but our working hours are Central European Time (+/- 2h)

About The Role

Tomorrow University is the university for those who want to build a more sustainable, equitable future. As part of our platform team, you’ll work with a group of engineers and product builders who care deeply about learning, impact, and collaboration.

We’re looking for a Full-Stack Engineer who lives in Berlin, ships end-to-end features with strong judgment, learns fast, and cares about educators and learners, including practical LLM features when they help the product.

Work model: Fully remote

• CET (±2h)
• Berlin residency required
• Regular team onsites and Workations

About the role

You will work across our stack, from the Next.js frontend to backend services, APIs, and deployment workflows. You’ll join a small, cross-functional team that optimizes for ownership, trust, and high-quality collaboration over heavy processes.

In addition to shipping core product features, you will partner with product & learning design to ship features that improve the learning platform, sometimes with LLMs, always with clear UX, reliability, and human review where it matters.

We work remotely with regular opportunities to travel and meet as a team, balancing flexibility with strong collaboration rituals. You must live in Berlin; residency is required, while day-to-day work remains fully remote.

What you’ll do

• Build and iterate on full-stack features for our learning platform, directly shaping how staff and learners use challenges, milestones, and AI-assisted workflows.
• Develop and maintain our Next.js application and related frontend components.
• Implement and improve backend services, APIs, and data flows using MongoDB.
• When we use AI, help design simple, safe product loops — prompt → structured output → human review → save — pragmatic rather than research-heavy.
• Collaborate with product, design, QA, engineering, and academic stakeholders in a low-ego environment that values trust, ownership, and clear communication.
• Bring product sense into engineering discussions — question scope, propose simpler paths, and care about the user journey as much as the implementation.

What you bring

• Experience shipping web product features end-to-end. Portfolio or side projects are welcome if your motivation and judgment are clear. We care more about ramp speed and ownership than a seniority label.
• Comfortable with TypeScript and modern React; Next.js experience is preferred, but willingness to ramp fast matters more than years of Next.js experience.
• Practical experience with MongoDB or similar NoSQL databases, or the clear ability to learn our data model quickly.
• Curiosity about LLMs and good judgment around AI — prior experience shipping LLM features is a plus, not a gate.
• A product mindset: you care about user experience, reliability, and impact, not just code or models.
• Curiosity for education and working in a mission-driven environment — high energy for ToU’s mission beats a perfect CV.
• Resident in Berlin, or relocating before your start date. Fully remote day-to-day. EU work authorization preferred.

Nice to have

• Experience with AWS and serverless environments such as AWS Lambda.
• Familiarity with structured LLM outputs, basic evals, or human-in-the-loop AI UX.
• Background in edtech.
• Interest in deployment, monitoring, and operational practices.
• Experience collaborating closely with product and design in a small team.
• German language skills are a nice-to-have, not required.

What Matters To Us

We care about people who take ownership, communicate clearly, learn quickly, and genuinely care about the people using what they build. We value pragmatism over perfection, collaboration over ego, and thoughtful product decisions over complexity for complexity’s sake.

Perks & Benefits

• Work from anywhere, anytime. Our flexible work culture gives you the freedom to design your day. Your day-to-day work will be fully remote, while Berlin residency is required for this role. Need a change of scenery? We offer a co-working space budget so you can connect and collaborate wherever you are.
• Grow with us. At Tomorrow University, we foster lifelong learning. You’ll have access to our innovative programs and be part of a culture that encourages continuous growth — personally and professionally.
• Travel the world together. Twice a year, we bring the whole team together for a week-long Workation somewhere in Europe — think bonding, brainstorming, and big ideas in beautiful places.
• Time to recharge. You’ll get 25 vacation days per year, plus public holidays based on your location.

Ready to shape the future of education and make an impact? Join us and help reimagine how we learn, grow, and build a better tomorrow.

At Tomorrow University, we believe in your potential — not your paperwork. Degrees are great, but your drive matters even more.
