At Ello, our mission is to maximize the potential of all children. Our first product, Read with Ello, is an AI reading teacher that listens to children read out loud. Ello uses speech recognition to help them when they get stuck, makes up stories using generative AI, and inspires a love for reading. We’re now building on the success of Read with Ello and putting together the pieces of the world’s first complete AI teacher for all children. Together, we believe we can close the primary school education gap worldwide.

Senior Product Engineer, Growth

Ello is building the world's first AI tutor to maximize every child's potential. Their initial product, Read with Ello, helps thousands of kids learn to read by listening and offering support. They are now scaling to a complete AI teacher combining language, speech, and memory for interactive education globally. The ML Engineer will join a 5-person applied ML team, operating at the intersection of research and production, solving open-ended problems and delivering real-world products that push the boundaries of education.

<p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">Our mission at Ello is simple and urgent: Maximize the potential of every child, everywhere. To close that gap, we’re building the world’s first AI tutor: one that listens, speaks, adapts, and inspires, just like the best human teachers.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">Our first product, Read with Ello, is already helping tens of thousands of kids each week learn to read. It listens as they read aloud, offers support when they stumble, and generates magical, personalized stories.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">Now, we’re scaling that success into something even bigger: a complete AI teacher for all children. It’s a 1:1 tutor that combines language, speech, and memory to deliver interactive education for kids worldwide. We move fast and test directly with families to create products that kids love.</p><h3 class="text-xl md:text-2xl font-bold mt-8 mb-3 text-gray-800">About the role</h3><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">We’re looking for an ML Engineer to join our 5-person applied ML team.

At Ello, they’ve built the world’s best child speech recognition system, beating Whisper. That ability to deeply understand child speech enables us to design magical experiences for early childhood learning. We work on a broad range of machine learning problems across agent reliability, learner adaptation, and multimodal perception. We collaborate closely with advisors from Stanford and top industry research labs (on a weekly basis, not in some hands-off way). We work in-person out of our San Francisco office and we’re big believers in face-to-face collaboration.</p><h3 class="text-xl md:text-2xl font-bold mt-8 mb-3 text-gray-800">A note on immigration</h3><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">We don’t shy away from sponsoring US visas and green card petitions.

We’re currently around 45 people, headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in São Paulo, Brazil; Nairobi, Kenya; and New York.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">Our team has deep expertise in artificial intelligence, K-12 education, and child development across institutions such as Stanford, Berkeley, Google, Apple, and more. We were part of Y Combinator’s W20 batch and are funded by world-class investors including Goodwater Capital, Homebrew, Reed Hastings, Common Sense Growth, Ravensburger, Project A Ventures, Reach Capital, Khosla Ventures, WndrCo, Visible Ventures, and K9 Ventures.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">We’re a small, collaborative team that takes each other’s voices very seriously. Because our mission is to support all children, it is critical that our team is representative of the communities we work in; we place significant emphasis on ensuring diversity in our team and inclusion in our culture.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">We feel enormously privileged to be one of the few companies that has the opportunity to take a shot at truly revolutionizing education with AI at this inflection point in technology. We don’t take it for granted, so we work quite hard to turn that vision into reality with urgency. We want to create an environment in which we can all be our best selves, use our strengths to take Ello forward, and develop our own skills. We want to have fun while working hard to do impactful things that we’re proud of – and we believe it’s possible to do both.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed"><em>At Ello, diversity is a moral imperative and a competitive advantage. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, skin color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
