Relocation to London is required. The company provides a full relocation package for the candidate and his/her family as well.

What you will do

• Build fundamental models for education — solving the ultimate learning task of predicting student knowledge and optimal next task.
• Work with a vast amount of unique data — we have data from over 1M language tests, including text and voice data.
• Create brand-new dictionaries, applicable to any context — right now it’s the English language, but in the future it could be other languages or even subjects such as Mathematics.
• Analyze large amounts of diverse data — including data from every movie, book, and song.
• Work in a cross-functional team and communicate with backend engineers and product managers.
• Create new types of tests for language learners to gather more test results, analyze them, and build prediction models based on these results.
• Optimize and fine-tune machine learning models for performance, scalability, and accuracy.
• Lead our ‘AI Powered Education’ meet-up in London, building a network of ML specialists.

Essential skills

• Experience leading and mentoring other ML engineers.
• Complete end-to-end experience — from finding and cleaning data all the way to monitoring models in production.
• Experience taking complete ownership of entire ML systems and data pipelines in large-scale production systems.
• Experience building automated data pipelines.
• Strong understanding of Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines and automation tools for efficient model deployment and monitoring.
