Stay safe on Himalayas

Never send money to companies. Jobs on Himalayas will never require payment from applicants.

At Novakid, we’re building one of the world’s most engaging online English-learning platforms for kids. Today, we serve 100,000+ students and work with 4,000 + teachers across 15+ countries.

The role

We are building an organisation-wide AI initiative that connects our knowledge, data, and workflows into something people use every day. Small team, real ownership, mandate to ship. Not a lighthouse program. Not a deck.

You’ll be hands-on building, working directly with our CTO and Applied AI Lead. DevOps, Data Engineering, and Analytics are there to support you. The core AI build is yours.

What you’ll do

Architect the harness.

Design the agents.

Pick the models.

Run the evals.

Wire up the tools.

Ship.

Improve based on real usage.

Repeat.

Requirements

What we need to see

  • 5+ years shipping production software. Python, SQL, APIs, AWS or GCP.

  • At least one AI or agent system you’ve put in front of real users — and the scars to prove it.

  • Strong opinions on models, frameworks, and evals. Self-aware enough to know they’ll shift in six months.

  • Power user of agentic coding tools. You build with AI, not around it.

Probably not for you if

  • Your AI experience is mostly decks, demos, or weekend projects.

  • You think AI’s ceiling is “copilot for simple tasks.”

  • You map the territory for three months before writing code.

  • You ship on vibes instead of evals.

How we hire

A short intro call, a take-home at your own pace (AI assistance allowed and expected), a live workflow session, and a final with the CTO. Around 4 hours of your time. Bring receipts — what you shipped, what broke, what you’d change.

When we throw a wild idea at you, your first reaction should be “how could this actually make a difference?” — then a working version by Friday.

What we offer…

  • Fully remote work .

  • A chance to shape the future of AI-driven education.

  • A fun, dynamic team that loves building innovative products.Unlimited holidays – because we trust you to deliver.

  • Bonuses and stock options – we grow together.

View company profile

Novakid Inc. is a prominent player in the global EdTech industry, specializing in online English as a Second Language (ESL) education for children aged 4-12. Founded in 2017 by Max Azarov and Dmitry Malin, the company has established itself as a leading platform for immersive language learning. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Novakid operates on a fully remote basis, with a vast network of teachers and students spanning across more than 50 countries. The company's core mission is to revolutionize the way children learn English by providing an engaging, effective, and fun educational experience. By leveraging a combination of gamification, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI), Novakid creates a dynamic and interactive learning environment where children can thrive. The platform offers one-on-one lessons with certified native or near-native English-speaking teachers, ensuring personalized attention and a curriculum tailored to each child's individual needs and learning pace.

The educational methodology at Novakid is rooted in the principles of full immersion and the Total Physical Response (TPR) approach, where teachers utilize gestures, facial expressions, and movements to facilitate comprehension and retention. The curriculum is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and is designed to make learning intuitive, much like acquiring a native language. The platform's gamified features, including virtual tours, in-lesson games, animated stories, and a rewards system, are instrumental in maintaining high levels of student engagement. Novakid's commitment to innovation is further demonstrated by its use of AI-driven data analysis to track student progress across numerous parameters, allowing for continuous optimization of the learning journey. Having delivered millions of lessons to hundreds of thousands of students, Novakid continues to expand its global footprint, driven by a vision to make high-quality education accessible to every child and to foster a global community of young, confident English speakers.
