Machine Learning Engineer, Ello

• You’re excited to build an AI product that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in education
• You believe that great products and research strengthen each other
• You’ll thrive here if you enjoy building scalable systems from the ground up and bringing research to life in real-world products
• 3+ years of experience in AI/ML research or engineering, preferably with speech systems or LLMs
• Proven track record across the modeling lifecycle: data acquisition, experimentation, evaluation, and productionization
• Experience with Python, deep learning frameworks, and distributed computing
• Proficiency in applied mathematics and linear algebra at the level where you can contribute to research discussions with a deeply technical team
• Have something to teach us
• Have an urge to make a real impact on child development at scale
• Take initiative and full ownership of their work
• Prefer open and direct communication grounded in empathy to beating around the bush
• Want to build meaningful relationships at work

Desirable

• We’re looking for an ML Engineer to join our 5-person applied ML team
• Our team operates at the intersection of research and production, solving open-ended problems while delivering real-world products
• We use the best tool for the job, whether that’s a novel machine learning model or software engineering fundamentals
• You’ll make an edit in your Jupyter notebook this week, deploy it on-device next week, and watch it bring smiles to kids’ faces a day later
• Own projects end-to-end from data through to production (e.g. conversational agents, learner adaptation, or speech perception)
• Collaborate with learning experts and product engineers to translate research into an AI tutor that understands, adapts, and interacts with children everywhere
• Build with the latest advancements in machine learning
