Principal AI Engineer (LLM/Agents) — (EdTech)
We're hiring a Principal AI Engineer to own the core architecture of a next-generation AI Tutoring system at a leading global EdTech company. You'll architect LLM-based agentic systems that adapt in real-time and help learners at scale - working directly with the founding team to reduce complexity and ship ambitious products fast.
The role in a nutshell:
- Own the full architecture of an agentic AI tutoring platform: from prompt design and evaluation frameworks to production deployment and safety.
- Move fast on ambiguous problems: streamline systems, cut through bottlenecks, and ship without losing capability.
- Drive rigorous experimentation - build custom metrics, evaluate model interactions, and prove learning impact.
- Lead by example: mentor engineers, raise the bar on code quality and shipping velocity, and own the vision with the founding team.
We're looking for:
- 5–7+ years shipping production AI/ML systems (not prototypes).
- Strong hands-on experience building complex LLM-based systems - prompt architecture, agentic workflows, reliability, evaluation.
- Builder mindset: you own ambiguous problems end-to-end and simplify without sacrificing capability.
- Passion for education (or deep curiosity about learning science) - you care about learning outcomes, not just model benchmarks.
- Software fundamentals: Python, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and strong architecture thinking.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Why you?
If you've shipped ambitious LLM products, love solving hard problems with minimal guidance, and actually care about education - this is a zero-to-one challenge at scale.
Location, travel, and employment
- Remote-friendly from the US, Europe, or UAE.
- The first 3–6 months may involve frequent travel to Dubai to work closely with the founding team for onboarding/training.
- Full-time employment position with entity placement depending on where you’re based.
Working hours/time zones:
We are looking for candidates who can comfortably overlap their working hours with Gulf Standard Time (GST/UTC+4). Ideal candidate locations include:

A Note on Candidate Authenticity:
‼️ Due to the high volume of fake profiles, synthetic applicants, and identity misrepresentation in the current AI engineering market, our agency conducts strict initial profile vetting and pre-screening. Furthermore, our client’s interview process requires live, scenario-based technical discussions and real-time code reviews to verify hands-on experience.
‼️ Please note: Any application found to be synthetic, AI-generated, or involving identity theft will be immediately rejected and reported to LinkedIn and relevant authorities for fraud. We value the time of genuine builders and are committed to keeping this hiring process secure and transparent.
