This is a unique opportunity to build your machine learning portfolio on a live MVP and make a meaningful contribution to educational equity.

Key Activities

• Design, train, and evaluate classification models to identify learner types (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Logical/Mathematical,
• Reading/Writing).
• Enhance adaptive learning features using spaced repetition, memory retention scoring, and individualized revision plans.
• Develop content recommendation algorithms that respond to learner progress, engagement, and accuracy.
• Build FastAPI-based ML endpoints that interact with our Node.js backend and React frontend.
• Collaborate with backend and data teams to ensure clean data pipelines and scalable ML deployments.
• Conduct A/B testing and performance evaluation on model efficacy and user impact.

Requirements

• Familiarity with ML/AI frameworks: scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Keras, or PyTorch.
• Experience building and deploying machine learning models, preferably via APIs.
• Understanding of recommender systems, clustering, and classification models.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and able to work remotely in a team environment.

Bonus: Experience with EdTech, spaced repetition, or cognitive science-informed algorithms.

Duration

• 3 hours/day, Monday to Friday
• Fully remote

Acquired Skills

• Hands-on experience applying machine learning in a live EdTech platform.
• Experience working with real user data to drive personalized education.
• Practical knowledge of model training, deployment, and monitoring in production environments.
• Exposure to cross-functional collaboration with dev, product, and curriculum teams.

Upon successful contribution, Gopele will provide:

HyperionDev is one of the largest providers of accelerated tech education in EMEA and one of the oldest providers of 'coding bootcamps' in the world. We work with top universities such as Imperial College London, The London School of Economics, The University of Edinburgh, and Stellenbosch University to deliver structured technical courses and bootcamps that accelerate people into fulfilling tech careers. We have been recognised as one of the top education technology scaleups in the world and gained the financial backing of Meta (previously Facebook) which recognised us as the most socially impactful startup operating in Africa, where we initially started our work.

We are dedicated to closing the global tech skills gap and we achieve this by integrating tech education with human mentorship and expert code review powered by a workforce in Southern Africa, which lowers the cost of an accessible education in technology. This model has been successful, allowing us to reach millions of learners a year from over 60 countries. We have also partnered with government bodies such as the UK's Department for Education who provide scholarships for students to study on our bootcamps and gain employment at companies such as AstraZeneca and the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS).

We're backed by nearly 2000 investors, having raised the largest crowdfunding round of funding for an edtech company in history. As a primarily bootstrapped, profitable, and scale up tech business join us as we play our part in making the world a more stable, safer, and fair place.

We’re also home to Longdue, an independent narrative game studio incubated within HyperionDev. Longdue crafts psychologically rich, story-driven RPGs that challenge players to navigate complex moral worlds and deeply human stories. Inspired by games like Disco Elysium, Longdue is in the early stages of developing a bold new RPG IP, with a focus on world-building, narrative depth, and artistic innovation. While HyperionDev focuses on transforming education and careers through technology, Longdue carries the same mission-driven DNA into the world of games — storytelling with purpose and resonance.
