Pay Range Transparency

## Description

We are building the intelligence layer that powers how learners grow. This role sits at the intersection of machine learning, knowledge representation, and product engineering. You will own the skill and concept graph that defines what learners know and can do, infer skill gaps from behavioral and profile signals, and translate those inferences into personalized recommendations and dynamic learning that guide each learner to their next best step. You will also be the bridge between our AI capabilities and the engineers building our frontend, making sure AI-driven features ship in a way that is explainable, reliable, and production-ready.

What You Will Do

 * Design, build, and maintain a skill and concept graph that maps relationships between skills, roles, domains, and learning content
 * Develop ML models that infer learner skill levels from usage patterns, work output, assessments, and profile data (not just self-reported input)
 * Build and iterate on recommendation systems that surface the next best module, suggest learning paths, and generate content dynamically
 * Partner with frontend engineers to ensure AI outputs are consumed correctly, surfaced with appropriate context
 * Define explainability standards for model outputs so users and stakeholders understand why a recommendation was made
 * Collaborate with product and content teams to validate recommendation quality and close feedback loops
 * Monitor model performance in production and own the evaluation framework for recommendation quality
