About DataCamp
DataCamp's mission is to empower everyone with the data and AI skills essential for 21st-century success. By providing practical, engaging learning experiences, DataCamp equips learners and organizations of all sizes to harness the power of data and AI. As a trusted partner to over 17 million learners and 6,000+ companies, including 80% of the Fortune 1000, DataCamp is leading the charge in addressing the critical data and AI skills shortage.
About the role
Research has consistently shown that one-on-one tutoring dramatically outperforms traditional classroom instruction-a finding known as Bloom's 2 Sigma Problem. Despite decades of awareness, no solution has successfully delivered personalized tutoring at scale. Until now.
We're building an AI Creator that turns learning into action-empowering users to instantly build, experiment, and solve real-world problems, transforming knowledge into tangible impact from day one You will work on the core AI system that delivers real-time, adaptive learning experiences to learners. If you're excited about building the future of human learning, this role is for you.
About you
You're a strong builder who thrives on turning cutting-edge AI capabilities into real, high-impact products. You operate with high ownership, move quickly, and care deeply about quality-balancing experimentation with disciplined execution.
You're comfortable working in ambiguity but don't wait for perfect direction-you break down problems, make progress, and iterate. You want to work on systems that matter, alongside people who are pushing the boundaries of how AI can transform learning.
Responsibilities
- Own the design and implementation of key components of the AI tutoring system, including prompt architectures, agentic workflows, and adaptive behaviors.
- Drive experiments end-to-end-shipping, measuring, and iterating to improve learning outcomes and model performance.
- Build production-grade systems that integrate LLM capabilities into user-facing experiences with reliability, speed, and scalability.
- Translate product and pedagogical goals into concrete technical solutions, working closely with product, content, and design.
- Rapidly prototype and deploy new model capabilities, bridging the gap between research breakthroughs and real user impact.
- Strengthen system quality through robust testing, monitoring, and iteration-ensuring safe and consistent behavior at scale.
- Raise the bar through strong code, pragmatic technical decisions, and active participation in design and code reviews.
QualificationsTechnical
- Proven experience building and shipping LLM-powered products in production environments.
- Strong prompt engineering skills and hands-on experience with agentic workflows or multi-step model interactions.
- Solid grasp of experimentation-comfortable designing, running, and interpreting experiments to drive improvements.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals (Python), with experience building scalable systems and working in modern production environments.
Product & Pedagogy
- Strong product instincts-able to connect model behavior to user experience and outcomes.
- Interest in building effective learning experiences; curiosity about how people learn and where AI can accelerate that.
- Ability to work closely with non-engineering stakeholders to ship cohesive, user-centered solutions.
Character & Collaboration
- High ownership and bias for action-you move things forward without waiting for perfect clarity.
- Comfortable operating in fast-moving environments with evolving constraints.
- Clear communicator who contributes to a strong, low-ego engineering culture.
