Multiverse has announced the opening of a new tech hub in Edinburgh following its recent $70m funding round.

Former Amazon leader Colin Mackenzie has been appointed as the company’s first VP AI Engineering to lead it, and will focus on developing agentic products.

The hub marks an expansion of Multiverse’s engineering footprint, placing an additional centre of technical excellence outside of London.

As part of its broader expansion, Multiverse will create 200 jobs in the next year across the new office and its London HQ.
