Description For Product Engineer (ML & Mobile)

Ello is revolutionizing children's education through AI technology. Their flagship product, Read with Ello, is an AI reading teacher that listens to children read aloud, providing real-time assistance and generating engaging stories. As a Product Engineer on the New Products team, you'll work directly with the CTO in a small, high-impact team of less than 10 people.

The role involves end-to-end ownership of learning activities within Ello's next-generation AI tutoring apps. You'll bridge product development and engineering, sometimes acting as your own product manager. Key responsibilities include building agent-based AI pipelines, developing front-end components for mobile/web platforms, and ensuring seamless integration of ML models.

Ello is a Series A startup backed by prestigious investors including Goodwater Capital, Homebrew, and Reed Hastings. With offices in San Francisco, São Paulo, Nairobi, and New York, they're on a mission to maximize every child's potential through AI-powered education. The company values diversity, emphasizes face-to-face collaboration, and offers a culture that balances hard work with meaningful impact.

The ideal candidate should have strong technical foundations across backend, ML, and mobile frontend, with experience in Flutter, native Android, or iOS development. You'll need familiarity with GenAI tools, excellent debugging skills, and a keen eye for design details. This is an opportunity to shape the future of education technology while working with cutting-edge AI in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.
