We’re on the verge of solving one of the biggest challenges in education – making high-quality, personalised learning accessible to everyone. What was once technologically impossible is now within our grasp.

- Work closely with our ML team to integrate models into the mobile experience and build robust data pipelines.
- Build features that work with large amounts of data in different modalities (text, video, images, audio).
- Work in a very cross-functional team, side by side with our iOS and backend developers, product managers, ML engineers, and designers.

Interview Process 🧪
