• Familiar with Python and relevant libraries for AI experimentation or prototyping.
• Comfortable using LLM APIs or tooling (e.g., OpenAI, HuggingFace, LangChain).
• Basic understanding of embeddings, vector search, or prompt engineering.
• Familiar with version control systems (Git).
• Strong collaboration and communication skills in a cross-functional team environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working on generative AI applications or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
• Awareness of explainability tools, content summarization techniques, or feedback workflows.
• Familiarity with Azure AI services (e.g., Azure OpenAI, Azure ML).
• Exposure to EdTech systems, learning analytics, or personalization engines.
• Interest in contributing to real-world educational tools used by students and teachers.

Tasks

• Contribute to the design and development of AI-driven features like recommendation systems and feedback automation.
• Help prototype and refine prompt-driven interactions powered by models such as GPT-4.
• Support the integration of generative AI into educational workflows, including summarization and contextual feedback.
• Collaborate with data engineers to ensure embeddings, metadata, and learner profiles are accessible for AI features.
• Participate in the testing and evaluation of AI outputs with teacher-in-the-loop validation.
• Support the development of explainable and auditable AI outputs, aligned with transparency goals.
• Iterate on features based on informal user feedback and observed learner behavior.
• Work in a flexible and pragmatic way to translate rough ideas into usable educational tools.
