As a highly technical Data Scientist you will help us scale and produce our recommendation systems. Our models generate personalized content based on user segments, combining multiple ranking strategies, and modifiers to balance performance and diversity. While the team currently focuses on improving recommendation logic and experimentation, this role ensures our solutions are
robust, scalable, and production-ready
.
If you want to be part of a team that's redefining the future of education, we'd love to hear from you!
What you'll do
Own the technical implementation and maintenance of our recommendation engine in production.
Productise machine learning models and pipelines (baseline + experimental logics).
Ensure system performance, reliability, and low latency (e.g., Redis-based caching, catalog rotations, modifiers).
Anticipate scaling challenges and design infrastructure to support larger catalogs, more complex segmentations, and higher traffic.
Collaborate with scientists, analysts, and engineers to turn prototypes (new logics/experiments) into production-grade features.
Develop and maintain data pipelines, ensuring clean transformations and robust experimentation frameworks.
Partner with product and engineering to balance performance metrics with diversity, user experience, and content constraints.
What you'll bring:
Strong proficiency in
Python
for ML, experimentation, and infrastructure.
Solid knowledge of
SQL
and
dbt
for transformations.
Experience with
Databricks
(or similar ML/data platforms).
Hands-on experience with
serving/storage layers
for real-time or low-latency recommendations (e.g., caches, databases, or similar).
Hands-on experience deploying and monitoring ML models in
AWS
(SageMaker, Lambda, ECS, Step Functions).
Familiarity with
orchestration tools
(Airflow, Prefect, Dagster) for pipeline reliability.
Comfortable with
Git/GitHub
and CI/CD practices for ML systems.
Strategic mindset: ability to anticipate infrastructure needs as models and experiments scale.
Nice to Have
Exposure to
experimentation platforms
(Amplitude, GrowthBook) and A/B testing frameworks.
Knowledge of
modern data stack tools
(Snowflake, BigQuery, Fivetran).
Interest in balancing
data-driven optimization
with
pedagogical or brand-driven constraints
(e.g., curated onboarding, character injection).
English is a must:
We're a multicultural team providing a service in
English
, so while certifications aren't necessary, fluency is essential. As a fully remote company, clear and effective
spoken and written communication
—especially in asynchronous, long-form formats—is key to collaborating successfully.
