About us

At Arbor, we’re on a mission to transform the way schools work for the better. We believe in a future of work in schools where being challenged doesn’t mean being burnt out and overworked. Where data guides progress without overwhelming staff. And where everyone working in a school is reminded why they got into education every day. Our MIS and school management tools are already making a difference in over 12,000 schools and trusts—giving time and power back to staff, turning data into clear, actionable insights, and supporting happier working days. At the heart of our brand is a recognition that the challenges schools face today aren’t just about efficiency, outputs and productivity—but about creating happier working lives for the people who drive education every day. We want to make schools more joyful places to work, as well as learn.

About the role

Our Workflows team is building a new workflow automation platform at the core of Arbor’s Management Suite, helping schools streamline processes and operate more efficiently. We are looking for a curious and ambitious Full Stack Developer (React / Node) to join our Workflows team and help us build, scale, and improve a modern SaaS platform. The remit and focus of the role is to design and deliver scalable features across the stack, own code from development through to deployment, and continuously improve system performance and reliability. It’s a broad and exciting role, so we’re looking for someone up for a challenge—if you’re a strong problem solver and a collaborative team player, this is the role for you. You’ll be working across a Node-based stack on both front and back end projects, within a serverless AWS environment built using infrastructure-as-code. Our team operates in an Agile environment, where engineers are involved in the full lifecycle—from architecture decisions to deployment and optimisation.
