Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for an AI Engineer who loves building fast, experimenting often, and pushing what’s possible
- Solid backend experience (Javascript, APIs, data pipelines)
- Comfortable working with large datasets and distributed systems
- Familiar with practical applications of LLMs: prompting, evaluation, and how to fine-tune or adapt models for specific tasks
- An added bonus: Experience with transcription, speech-to-text / text-to-speech, or voice-based AI interactions (our product sends live audio via a websocket, so experience in this area would also help)
- Comfortable with advanced debugging: Handles complex debugging scenarios that may involve multiple systems or applications
- Design Patterns: able to apply standard design patterns to solve common architectural problems, enhancing code efficiency and scalability
- Able to participate in code reviews, providing constructive feedback and sharing best practices
- Test Automation: Implements automation strategies for repetitive testing tasks to improve efficiency and consistency
- Analytical: able to tackle complex problems using a systematic and logical approach
- Influential: use experience and knowledge to positively influence peers and project outcomes
- Decisive: make informed and timely decisions, especially under pressure
- Reliable: consistently delivers quality work and follows through on commitments
- Curious, experimental mindset: you like to test ideas quickly and learn from the data
- Good communicator: will proactively communicate, can express their opinions clearly
- Resilient and adaptable: Manages setbacks effectively and remains positive. Able to adapt when plans change
- Organised: can move through work methodically, documenting decisions and organising your time so as to deliver on time
- Motivated by delivering impact: After a few months, you can work independently to add real and meaningful value to the product we're building. You don’t need to wait for instruction, and if you have an idea or suggestion that you think will improve how we work or what we're building, you’ll proactively voice it
What the job involves
- You’ll work to improve our core AI tutor - a proactive multi-agent model - and supporting technology (test suite, content creation tool, curriculum architecture)
- We’re two years in to developing Skye and have big plans for the coming years, so we’re looking for someone who can get stuck in and help us move fast
- Build and scale backend services in JavaScript to improve the core functionality of our AI voice tutor
- Work hands-on with large language models — fine-tuning, evaluating, and deploying them in real products
- Design and run large-scale data and model experiments to improve outcomes
- Collaborate closely with product, design, data, and academic teams to turn ideas into impactful features
- Help shape our engineering culture, tooling, and architecture as we grow
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Third Space Learning was founded to work in partnership with schools to make personalised one-to-one maths tuition accessible to all. It does this by supplying Skye, an AI maths tutor designed to help close the maths attainment gap.
Importantly, Skye was designed by teachers, who leveraged data from the company's experience delivering one-to-one tutoring since 2013 to build it. The solution is also accessible for schools, as it was created with their budgets in mind.
With an established presence in the UK and US, Third Space Learning has a great launchpad from which to expand the reach of its AI tutor. As the maths attainment gap continues to grow, and one-to-one tutoring remains inaccessible for many, this new approach has every chance to succeed.
