Job description

Gizmo is an AI startup on a mission to make learning so easy that anyone can learn anything. We're building Duolingo for Anything - a platform that uses gamification and social mechanics to make learning fun. With over 1 million monthly active users and $4M in annual recurring revenue, we're already one of the fastest-growing startups in the UK. Backed by leading investors, we recently raised $16M in Series A funding to accelerate our vision of helping 1 billion people learn.

The Role

You'll work closely with the founders and engineers to unlock insights, build production-ready models, and help shape the future of how people learn.

• Develop scalable data pipelines and automate insights generation
• Communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
