ABOUT BEZOS ACADEMY
At Bezos Academy, we believe all children deserve the great start that excellent early education provides, including in under-resourced communities. Our mission is to nurture the potential in every child to become a creative leader, original thinker, and lifelong learner by inventing the solutions needed to scale early childhood education. We are a unique organization that realizes our mission in two distinct ways. First, we operate a multi-state network of schools in under-resourced communities, offering quality Montessori preschool at no cost to families. Second, we invest in creating tools, products, technology, and other solutions designed to reach children well beyond the walls of our schools. We aspire to have a profound, large-scale impact on children ages zero to five.
DESCRIPTION
As the Senior User Experience Researcher (UXR) for a new direct‑to‑consumer initiative at Bezos Academy, you will play a defining role in how we understand parents, families, and early learners. Focusing on parent and caregiver-facing experiences, you will uncover how software and AI can meaningfully support them and early childhood development. You will help build a new venture from the ground up by leading and executing research that directly informs product strategy and feature priorities.
You will work closely with designers, product managers, and curriculum experts to conduct studies, synthesize insights, and create shared clarity across the team. From exploration to launch and iteration, your work will guide what we build, why we build it, and how it comes to life. Your research will help ensure we are giving parents thoughtful, guided support as they navigate the early years of parenthood, with product experiences grounded in how babies, toddlers, and parents learn during the most critical years of brain development. This is an opportunity to lead our user research practices and shape a product alongside a mission‑driven team committed to meaningful impact for families and young children. More than anything, we are looking for someone excited by the opportunity to shape products at the frontier of where technology, learning science, and family life intersect.

We are a unique organization that realizes our mission in two ways.

ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Senior AI Applications Engineer at Bezos Academy, you will help build AI-powered software applications that support teachers’ abilities to deliver measurable results in early childhood education. As a hands-on, results-driven software developer, you will play a pivotal role in developing intelligent systems for teachers, staff and families with a small product development team. Your products will both thrill and delight their users and enable our national school network to nurture young children’s originality, foster self-agency, cultivate a love for learning, and spark joy.
You have a proven track record of combining machine-learning models, high-quality data, and human-centered workflows into production-ready tools; you consistently deliver solutions that solve human problems. Resourceful throughout the software-development lifecycle—from research and prototyping to deployment, monitoring, and evaluation—you work effectively despite constraints on time and resources. In past roles, you have successfully launched AI-powered applications in collaboration with product-development teams. As a software engineer with a customer mindset, you take pride in applying practical AI workflows and sound software-engineering principles to build high-impact AI products. Adept at working from scratch, you navigate ambiguity, iterate quickly, and shape solutions that earn customer love. Hands-on experience with evaluations, inference validation, and AI guardrails has helped you strengthen the safety, performance, and ethics of AI features. You recognize exceptional work when you see it and instill that same passion in others.
In this role, you will focus on building, measuring, and iterating for children. Motivated equally by great products and great impact, you are deeply inspired by our mission to expand access to quality early childhood education and experiences.
