JOB-2050
A venture-backed edtech company building an AI reading tutor for young children is looking for an AI/ML Engineer to own AI features end to end, from early experiments and evaluation design through to production releases used by kids around the world.
Highlights of the job
- Take AI features from product idea to shipped improvement, including the research and evaluation systems that support them
- Design and refine the agent logic behind an AI tutor: what to teach next, when to step in, and how to adapt to each learner
- Build learner models that capture each child’s strengths, gaps, pace and engagement, and use them to drive instruction
- Partner with learning specialists and product engineers to measure educational quality, engagement, safety and latency
- Create feedback loops and data flywheels that steadily raise product quality through real usage and experimentation
What you bring
- 3 to 10 years building and shipping AI or ML features in production, or a strong ML research background paired with shipping experience
- Hands-on experience designing and running evaluation systems for AI or LLM products
- Engineering experience at an AI-native or fast-moving startup
- Familiarity with low-latency inference at scale; Python and PyTorch
- A CS, EECS or similar engineering degree
- Bonus: work on products used directly by children, or experience fine-tuning LLMs or speech models
Based in San Francisco with a small, collaborative team that values working together in person. Visa transfers considered.
