Senior AI Engineer

Edventures is building an AI-powered learning platform used by teachers and students. We are a small team looking for a senior engineer who can take a problem from idea to production without handoffs.

The role:

You will be a technical leader across the whole stack: AI, backend, frontend, infrastructure and product. You will make architecture decisions, ship major features yourself, and raise the bar for the team through mentoring and code review.

What you'll do:

• Own large features end to end: product thinking, design, implementation, rollout and monitoring.
• Design and evolve our AI features: prompts, pipelines, model selection, quality, cost and latency (LLMs, speech, vision).
• Architect and scale the backend: Node.js APIs, PostgreSQL, job queues and workers, cloud infrastructure.
• Build polished, fast React interfaces and keep the frontend maintainable.
• Work directly with the users to decide what to build and what not to build.
• Mentor junior engineers, review code, and set engineering standards.
• Improve reliability, security, performance and developer workflow.

What we're looking for:

• Bachelor or Master's degree in Engineering field.
• 4+ years of professional experience building and shipping production software.
• Strong in both backend (Node.js, SQL, queues, APIs) and frontend (React, state management, performance).
• Hands-on experience with LLMs in production, such as prompt design, evaluation, and handling cost and failures.
• Experience with cloud platforms (we use Google Cloud) and CI/CD.
• Product mindset: you challenge requirements and care about user outcomes, not just code.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, and able to make good trade-offs between speed and quality.
• Experience mentoring or leading engineers.
• Excellent English, written and spoken. Hebrew is not required.

Nice to have:

• Startup or early-stage experience.
• Experience with real-time features, speech/voice, or document processing.
• Background in EdTech.

What we offer:

• High ownership and a real say in technical and product direction.
• A small team where your work ships fast and is visible.
• Work with modern AI tooling.
