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.
