Role summary

ThesorAI is seeking an ambitious Senior AI/ML Engineer to lead the development of core deep learning models and ML algorithms for their AI-powered learning companion. This role involves designing and implementing scalable, production-ready ML systems from scratch, analyzing complex datasets, and applying advanced pattern recognition techniques. The ideal candidate will have expert-level understanding of Neural Networks, Transformers, and ML frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow, with strong Python programming skills and a solid foundation in Statistics and mathematical modeling. Proven experience deploying ML models in fast-paced environments is essential. This is a high-performance, extreme ownership role focused on building the future of education technology.

ThesorAI is a mission-driven AI company with a clear and humble focus: making high-quality, personalized education accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or budget. We are building an AI-powered learning companion that transforms any device into a personal tutor and coach. By providing chat-based tutoring, adaptive practice, and automated knowledge synthesis, we help students and professionals grasp complex concepts faster and build real-world skills.

We are a small, dedicated team. We don’t just build software; we build the future of how humanity learns. To do that, we need more than just "employees"—we need
ambitious, self-motivated partners
ready to build from the ground up.

The Culture: Extreme Ownership & High Performance

While our mission is centered on helping others, our internal bar for execution is incredibly high. We operate with a startup-first mentality where speed, grit, and technical excellence are non-negotiable.

- Radical Autonomy:
You are a self-contained unit. You identify bottlenecks, architect solutions, and execute effectively without constant supervision or a pre-defined roadmap.
- Uncompromising Dedication:
We are in a race to redefine learning. This role is for an individual with a relentless drive toward project success—someone willing to put in the
intense effort and occasional sleepless nights
required to stabilize massive training runs and meet critical milestones.
- Founder Mindset:
You take full responsibility for the system. If a model underperforms or a system fails, you are the first to diagnose, fix, and optimize it, regardless of the hour.

What You’ll Own

- Core Model Engineering:
Lead the development and refinement of deep learning models and machine learning algorithms that power our personal tutor.
- System Architecture:
Design and implement scalable, production-ready ML systems from scratch.
- Pattern Recognition:
Analyze complex datasets and implement advanced pattern recognition techniques to improve model accuracy and reasoning capabilities.
- Cross-functional Innovation:
Collaborate directly with the founding team to integrate ML solutions into our products, ensuring a seamless experience for our users.

What We’re Looking For

- Academic Excellence:
Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field.
- Technical Depth:
Expert-level understanding of Neural Networks, Pattern Recognition, and Transformer architectures.
- Framework Mastery:
Advanced programming skills in
Python
and deep experience with
PyTorch, TensorFlow
, or similar frameworks.
- Mathematical Rigor:
A strong foundation in Statistics and mathematical modeling to evaluate and optimize model performance.
- Production Experience:
Proven track record of developing and deploying scalable ML models in a fast-paced environment.
- Problem-Solving Mindset:
A passion for innovation in education technology and the ability to solve complex problems under pressure.
