Fix education.
A world where every learner has access to personalised, world-class education that fosters curiosity, critical thinking, and purpose.
We want to build a trillion-dollar company with ≤30 people by hiring the smartest, most driven people in the world and using AI to amplify our capabilities. We are effectively looking to hire young Elon Musks.
We have a culture of ruthless life optimization to accomplish our vision. That doesn't mean staring at a computer for 16 hours 7 days a week, it means continuous optimization of every single aspect of our lives. We have the perfect sleep routine, diet, exercise, everything. We work 7 days a week but not always in front of a laptop — we are constantly going for quick walks to think big picture, or going for a company hike to discuss direction. We expect you to be OBSESSED with Edexia, it is your life, your everything, and we do WHATEVER it takes to accomplish our vision and positively impact the world. We understand you might not share that exact vision right now, but we want you to share a vision for a better world.
As part of our team, you'll work on challenges that both move the needle for our mission and align with your strengths—whether that's AI architecture, UI/UX, reinforcement learning, or data engineering.
Assessment is our strategic starting point. We need to solve two core technical challenges:
1. Human-AI Alignment: Interpreting RubricsProblem: Rubrics use vague terms like "informed" vs "adequate," causing inconsistent evaluation. Solutions: Rubric unpacking workflows, real-time voice AI training coaches, and reinforcement learning from teacher corrections.
2. Complex Marking: Accurately Evaluating Student WorkProblem: Assessment requires hundreds of decisions across any format (typed, handwritten, graphs) and subject area. Solutions: Multi-agent workflows, OCR/computer vision systems, task-specific analysis modules, and clear feedback conversion.
Both require two-level optimization:
Edexia is an AI Teacher Assistant for grading essays. It can be trained and controlled by the teacher and can grade assignments from any curriculum, year level, subject, or format.
Learning like a teacher, Edexia visually breaks down its understanding of the rubric, and updates this as a teacher corrects it.
Our vision is to transform education by facilitating AI’s safe and effective integration across all institutions and applications. Not using AI to replace teachers but rather to empower them—providing them with all the time and resources they need to develop their students.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
