If you’re ready to make a real impact, and be part of a global movement shaping the future of learning, join us. Let's transform education together!

About the role

Are you passionate about technology, already building things in your career as a developer? We’re looking for a motivated and curious Developer with 2 to 3 years of experience to join our Platform Solutions team. The team builds, improves and maintains Moodle LMS, the open-source platform all of Moodle ’s products are built on. You’ll work on the core LMS alongside experienced developers, and your changes go through Moodle ’s open contribution process.

We're building a team that works with AI, not around it. If you've been teaching yourself to build with tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or the OpenAI/Anthropic APIs, and you can show us what you've made, we want to hear from you. It matters far more to us what you've built than where (or whether) you studied.

This is a fully remote role and can be offered as a permanent role in India, Indonesia, Vietnam or the Philippines.

At Moodle, no two days will ever be the same, but will involve a mix of:

• Collaborating with experienced developers on designing, developing, and implementing software solutions
• Using AI coding agents as part of your everyday workflow: scoping the task, writing a clear spec or prompt, then reviewing, testing and refining what comes back
• Writing clean, well-tested PHP and JavaScript, and being able to explain and defend every line of it, whether you or an agent wrote it first
• Building small automations and internal tools that make the wider team faster
• Participating in code reviews, learning best practices and improving code quality
• Contributing to the full software development lifecycle from concept to deployment and maintenance
• Learning new technologies and tools while solving real-world problems
• Contributing to projects that impact millions of users globally

What we’re looking for

• Experience with or knowledge of PHP and JavaScript
• Hands-on experience with agentic AI development tools (for example Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or agents you've built yourself with an LLM API). Self-taught absolutely counts: side projects, hackathons, open-source contributions and things you built for fun are all evidence
• Working understanding of how to get good results from these tools: giving an agent the right context, breaking work into verifiable steps, and knowing when the output is wrong
• Judgement about where AI helps and where it doesn't, and a healthy scepticism about code you didn't reason through yourself
• Passion for problem-solving, keen attention to detail and an eagerness to keep learning
• An approachable, collaborative way of working in a global team
• Strong communication and collaboration skills: increasingly, being a strong developer means being able to describe a problem precisely, to people and to machines

Nice to have, not required: familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol), retrieval-augmented generation, prompt/context engineering, agent evaluation or testing, or having published a tool, plugin or agent of your own.

You don't need a certification or a formal AI qualification for this role. A GitHub repo, a demo video or a blog post explaining something you built will tell us more than any course certificate.

What life at Moodle is like

Moodle has a globally diverse team with over 280 team members in more than 25 countries around the world.

We respect our colleagues and value an open and innovative workplace filled with integrity and of course a strong focus on education (yes, these are our company values!)

In addition, you can expect

• A genuinely flexible, remote role, working from anywhere in India, Indonesia, Vietnam or the Philippines
• We believe in motivating performance rather than micromanaging it, empowering you to do what you do best
• Gaining new skills by learning from highly skilled peers, along with your own learning and development allowance each year to support your growth
• Work with a global team on a worldwide platform and make a real difference
• As a certified B Corp, we are proud to be part of a global community of mission-driven companies dedicated to using business as a force for good
• Other excellent benefits, like an extra time-off to recharge yourself, give back to a charity or community group, and enjoy a day off for your birthday, ‘choose your own’ benefit options, flexible public holidays, and many more!
