Director — AI Tutor
AI Tutor & Adaptive Learning
Compensation
INR 40 - 65 LPA + equity.
Engagement
Full-Time
Permanent role. Full-time commitment. Remote-first, with periodic in-person off-sites.
Scope of role
Set direction within your domain. Build and mentor a team. Own outcomes at the function level.
01 — The role
Why this role exists at EduRankAI
Lead the AI Tutor team — the conversational learning agent that lives inside every AquinTutor lesson. You will own the pedagogy doctrine for the tutor (what it does, what it refuses to do), the evaluation harness for learning-tutor quality, and the team that ships the model + product layer.
02 — The work
What you will own
- 01 Own the AI Tutor product end-to-end.
- 02 Set the AI Tutor pedagogy doctrine — when it teaches, when it asks, when it refuses.
- 03 Build and own the tutor-quality eval harness (real learner trajectories, not just toy benchmarks).
- 04 Hire the AI Tutor team (Staff/Senior ML + product engineers).
- 05 Partner with the AI platform team on inference cost and latency.
- 06 Defend tutor design against the temptation to optimise for "delight" over "learning".
03 — The expertise
What we look for
04 — The bar
Who thrives here
- → You have shipped an AI-powered learning product that has been used by at least 50K learners.
- → You have written or led the design of evals for an LLM-backed product.
- → You can describe a pedagogy doctrine for an AI tutor in writing in 500 words.
- → You have killed a feature because it improved engagement at the cost of learning.
05 — How we work
The EduRankAI environment
Remote-first, async-first
Work from anywhere. We optimise for deep work, not face time. Periodic in-person off-sites for the full-time team.
High autonomy, high standards
We hire adults and trust them. You will be expected to set your own goals, communicate clearly, and ship.
Builders, not bureaucrats
We optimise for clarity over process. Make the call, ship the work, write up what you learned.
Bharat-built, globally ambitious
We are an Indian frontier AI lab. We build for India first and the world second — in that order.
06 — Hiring process
What to expect after you apply
- 01
Application review
Every application is read personally within five business days. We respond either way.
- 02
Take-home or live exercise
Role-specific. Time-boxed. Real problems we are actually working on, not invented puzzles.
- 03
Conversations
Deep technical and values conversations with the team you would join. No trick questions. No panel ambushes.
- 04
Offer or honest no
If yes: digital offer letter, signed in-portal, transparent terms. If no: written feedback if you want it.

Our situation
