AI Engineer

Engineering is at the core of the company, it really drives knowunity, main character, you can end to end own this revolution yourself across parts such as:

• Videos

• First ones that build video on large scale truly personalised

• Topic prediction, real guidance / personalisation as biggest opportunity in AI

• Holy grail is personalisation and guidance, we have a lot of data, you can crack that

• Future of practice, quizlet is outdated, practice in future needs to be more guided and diverse

• Multi-Modality of outputs

• We do not believe in wall of text, we are building cards, graphs, interactive practice elements in the chat - no one has solved this yet

• New ways of learning of Gen Alpha

• Figure out how this generation learns

• In a world of personal AI companions, there will still be in person learning and interaction, how can an AI companion include social use cases and still bring students together

• Ability to ship A/B tests to millions of users quickly Your ownership:

• Own and build end-to-end AI products that deliver measurable value to students across our global user base.

• Drive technical decisions that align with product impact - choosing the right tools, models, and approaches to move key metrics like DAU and retention.

• Translate product ideas into real features by collaborating cross-functionally and contributing actively to product strategy.

Why this matters: Every AI feature you build gets shipped fast and used by real students - meaning your work has an immediate and measurable effect on learning outcomes, user growth, and product-market fit. You'll be directly accelerating our core business metrics and impact on students worldwide.

What success looks like: You'll ship meaningful AI-driven features quickly and iterate based on real usage data.
