AI/Machine Learning Engineer

Location: Remote

About the role

We’re looking for a founding AI/ML Engineer to build the personalisation engine that makes Hourze a category-defining product. You’ll work at the intersection of learning, intelligence, and proof, helping us deliver goal-based learning journeys that adapt to each user’s aspirations and behaviour.


This is an opportunity to own the AI layer of a platform designed to reshape how people grow. You’ll work closely with the founder, designer, and product team to bring a new standard of intentional, outcomes-driven learning to life.

What you’ll do

  • Design and implement Hourze’s AI-powered personalisation logic

  • Build recommendation systems for learning pathways and content sequencing.

  • Fine-tune prompts and integrate with LLM APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic)

  • Collaborate with product teams to translate user intent into measurable progress.

  • Monitor feedback and performance to improve accuracy and relevance.

  • Build responsibly with user trust and data privacy at the core.

What we’re looking for

  • At least 3 years of experience working in AI/ML, with a focus on personalisation, NLP, or recommendation systems

  • Hands-on experience with LLMs, embeddings, prompt engineering, and API integrations

  • Strong background in Python and ML frameworks (e.g. Hugging Face, LangChain, TensorFlow, PyTorch)

  • Ability to move fast, test and iterate, and simplify complex logic into meaningful user-facing features

  • Deep curiosity about how people learn and grow

  • Bonus: experience with edtech, behaviour-based learning models, or verification systems

What success looks like

  • Users feel like the platform understands them and adapts to their growth.

  • Our AI features help users build momentum with less friction and more clarity.

  • Learning journeys feel intentional, motivating, and personal.

  • Prompt logic and content systems improve consistently based on feedback and use.

  • You’ve laid the foundation for a future-facing, ethical AI system that drives real outcomes

What we offer

  • Full-time salary based on experience and meaningful founding equity in an industry-defining company

  • Flexible hybrid or remote role with autonomy to build and lead

  • Ownership of your domain with deep product influence

  • A values-aligned, mission-driven team building what should exist

  • Room to grow into a leadership role as we scale

  • Professional learning & development budget

  • A mission-driven culture that values clarity, trust, and self-determined growth

We'd love to meet you if you’re excited about building AI that empowers people instead of simply automating them.
