AI Tutor Engineer
AI Tutor Engineering
Compensation
INR 18 - 30 LPA + equity.
Engagement
Full-Time
Permanent role. Full-time commitment. Remote-first, with periodic in-person off-sites.
Scope of role
Drive specific initiatives with minimal supervision. Deepen craft. Begin mentoring others.
01 — The role
Why this role exists at EduRankAI
Build AI Tutor features under Senior + Staff mentorship. Eval, prompts, retrieval, sequencing, error analysis on real learner trajectories. Grow into a Senior AI Tutor Engineer over 18-24 months. The role is for engineers who already understand that the eval is where the work is — not the prompt, not the model choice. The bar is "you can ship a tutor feature that does not regress under real learner traffic".
02 — The work
What you will own
- 01 Ship AI Tutor features under Senior code review.
- 02 Author evals that match real learner trajectories.
- 03 Improve retrieval + grounding for the tutor.
- 04 Triage tutor failures from production and fix at root.
- 05 Pair daily with the Senior AI Tutor Engineer.
- 06 Encode pedagogy decisions into prompts + system prompts under curriculum review.
03 — The expertise
What we look for
04 — The bar
Who thrives here
- → You have shipped at least one LLM-backed feature that has been live for 6+ months.
- → You have written at least one eval that caught a regression before users saw it.
- → You read ML papers regularly and can describe one whose method you have re-implemented.
- → You can describe a prompt-engineering win and the eval that proved it was real and not a one-off.
- → You can read pedagogy literature and find a hypothesis worth encoding.
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.
