AI Prototyper

Vor 2 Tagen

Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz Stealth Startup (AI + EdTech) Vollzeit CHF 120'000 - CHF 180'000 pro Jahr

We are a well funded startup, founded by Ex-Google employees and repeat founders. We are on a mission to ignite curiosity in children through beautifully crafted, AI-powered learning adventures.. We are reimagining how children learn — combining immersive stories, interactive minigames, and generative AI at the core of the experience. Our educational platform transforms dry curriculum into vivid, engaging adventures. We're looking for an AI Prototyper / Prompt Engineer to push the limits of what's possible, fast.

This is not a traditional engineering role. It's a hands-on, high-leverage position for someone who thrives at the bleeding edge of AI capabilities, loves tinkering with prompts and pipelines, and wants to invent the future of learning — one prototype at a time.

Tasks

What you'll do:


• Rapidly explore the frontiers of generative AI — especially large language models — to unlock novel capabilities (e.g. auto-generating games or interactive content from a learning topic).


• Design and iterate on complex prompt chains, agent behaviors, and tool-augmented workflows.


• Build quick, scrappy prototypes to test viability of new ideas across text, games, visuals, or multimodal combinations.


• Collaborate with designers, educators, and engineers to bridge ideas into product-ready features.


• Monitor emerging tools, APIs, and research papers — and bring those insights into practical application.

Requirements

What we're looking for:


• Deep understanding of LLM behavior, prompting strategies, and model limitations.


• Experience with OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or similar APIs — ideally with multi-step chains, tool use, or custom system instructions.


• Comfort hacking together prototypes — with whatever tools you like.


• Curiosity-driven mindset with the ability to spot unexpected affordances or emergent behaviors in new models.


• Bonus: Experience in education, game design, narrative systems, or working with multimodal models (image/video/audio)

Benefits

Very competetive salary, bonus, and equity package..
