We power people’s progress. At Preply, we’re all about creating life-changing learning experiences. We help people discover the magic of the perfect tutor, craft a personalised learning journey, and stay motivated to keep growing. Our approach is human-led, tech-enabled - and it’s creating real impact.

We’ve just reached unicorn status with a $150M Series D, accelerating our vision to transform education through human-led, AI-enhanced learning. Today, 100,000+ tutors teach 90+ languages to learners in 180 countries - and we’re only getting started. As a category-defining company, we’re shaping what the future of learning looks like at global scale.

Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters. Joining Preply means helping define the future of education at global scale, and building something that truly matters for millions of people, every day.

This is an exciting new opportunity at Preply to significantly accelerate how our learners make progress. You will own the Applied AI Learning team — the team building the intelligence layer behind Preply's learning product. That means the models that score a learner's progress after a lesson, detect grammar mistakes in real time, and recommend the right next exercise to keep getting better.

Preply sits on one of the richest learning datasets in edtech. There is no one-size-fits-all for learning. Your job is to turn that data into a hyper-personalized learning journey that helps learners and tutors reach their goals faster: measuring progress across skills, surfacing the right next step, and making the system smarter over time.

We are looking for someone who can combine deep machine learning fluency with the product instinct to turn complex model outputs into real learner impact.

What you'll be doing day to day:

• Own the Applied AI product portfolio: Define which capabilities get built, at what depth, and in what sequence. The ambition is for our learning intelligence engine to power large parts of the learning journey.
• Make the learning journey world-class: Turn our exceptionally rich dataset into a world-class learning system — one that is intelligent, personalized, and keeps getting better.
• Make Applied AI a trusted capability across Preply: Ensure the capabilities land where they create the most impact, and that the right signals come back in to improve the models.
• Bring the user into every strategic decision: Ensure that the perspective of learners and tutors shapes the portfolio from the top down.
• Define the hard problems: What does 'learner progress' even mean as something a model can predict?
• Partner deeply with Data and Engineering: Build the vision together, align on outcomes, and stay close throughout execution.
• Connect the intelligence layer to the wider product: Ensure the signals this team builds are used beyond the learning journey.

What you’ll need:

Must-haves:

• Strategy and vision: Set a clear multi-quarter direction for a technical domain and brought a team along on that journey.
• Learner and tutor empathy: Genuinely curious about the people on both sides of the marketplace.
• Machine learning experience at large scale: Built and owned ML products that moved real metrics.
• Deep machine learning fluency: Can have a real conversation with a highly technical team.
• Deeply data-driven: Go into the data yourself, find the signal, and build a point of view from scratch.
• Organizational influence: Shaped how an organization thinks about a complex technical domain.
• Strong communication: Turn complex, ambiguous work into a clear point of view that drives decisions.
• Experimentation rigor: Solid grounding in A/B testing and experiment design.
• Comfort with ambiguity: Make core problems measurable and drive alignment on what good looks like.

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience with unstructured data — text, audio, transcripts.
• Experience building internal platforms or APIs consumed by other product teams.
• EdTech or learning science background.
• Recsys/personalization experience.
