Over 24,000 students sat these exams, and the Webapp has over 50,000 MAUs. We achieved this rapid growth at an incredible pace and are looking for an ambitious individual to join us during this exponential growth phase.

• Ability to balance theoretical AI knowledge with practical implementation in user-facing applications.
• Experience developing evaluation frameworks to measure AI accuracy in educational contexts.
• Strong understanding of recent advancements in multimodal AI models for generating visual, textual, and interactive content.
