About the job
Join Gizmo, a dynamic AI startup dedicated to revolutionizing learning by making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Our innovative platform harnesses the power of gamification and social mechanics to create engaging educational experiences.
With a rapidly growing user base of over 1.7 million monthly active users and an impressive $5M in annual recurring revenue, we are one of the UK’s fastest-growing startups. Recently, we secured $22M in Series A funding from leading investors to propel our mission of helping 1 billion people learn.
Your Role
We are on the lookout for a talented and experienced Staff Product Engineer with a focus on AI to enhance the core intelligence of our platform. As part of our team, you will report directly to the CEO and Co-Founder, working within our TypeScript codebase to develop AI-powered features utilized by thousands of students each day, including study material generation, quizzes, automated grading, and content ingestion.
This role is hands-on and not focused on machine learning research; instead, it emphasizes practical product engineering aimed at designing and refining AI systems that have a real-world impact.
If you are passionate about developing AI solutions that are integral to a high-impact product, this position offers a unique opportunity to make a difference at scale.
Key Responsibilities
Developing AI-Driven Product Features
- Design and implement AI-enhanced user features within our TypeScript framework.

Maintaining and Optimizing Production AI Systems
You will oversee AI systems that are already operational and utilized daily, including:
- Generation of study materials.
- Creation of quiz questions.
- Automated grading and feedback systems.
- Structured content ingestion pipelines.
Your tasks will include:
- Refining production AI workflows.
- Designing and evolving prompts, focusing on effective prompt engineering and multi-step workflows.
- Building structured model pipelines rather than simple integrations.
- Integrating model upgrades directly into our TypeScript backend.
- Developing innovative AI systems to tackle new product challenges.
- Prototyping and streamlining new model-driven functionalities.
Establishing Evaluation and Quality Standards
You will:
- Define excellence across various AI applications.
