About DataCamp

DataCamp's mission is to empower everyone with the data and AI skills essential for 21st-century success.

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 are building an AI tutoring system designed to emulate and eventually surpass the best human tutors. 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. This role can be done remotely from anyone of the following; United States, United Kingdom, Belgium, Portugal OR UAE

Your initiative and entrepreneurial spirit push you beyond just meeting targets—you aim to understand the "why" behind our goals and take ownership to drive the business forward. You’re a collaborative team player who values transparency and always seeks to improve and innovate. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply!

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with educators, content creators, and product teams to translate pedagogical goals into technical solutions.
  • Prototype and productionize novel model interactions, leveraging emerging research and capabilities to advance the tutor’s intelligence.
  • Ensure quality, safety, and observability through monitoring, testing, guardrails, and iterative refinement of model behavior.
  • Share knowledge and elevate teammates, contributing to a culture of clarity, simplicity, and continuous learning.

Qualifications

Technical

  • 1+ years building complex LLM-based systems, with strong prompt engineering intuition and experience designing agentic workflows.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
