Why are we searching for you?
We're dedicated to helping students find their ideal study program. However, many have expressed a need for more guidance than just a search tool. They're looking for more personalized counseling. This is where AI comes in, and potentially, you. We're on the lookout for someone who can help develop and enhance an AI advisor. It would understand each student's unique needs and preferences. Initially, it'll assist in finding suitable study programs. Beyond that, we envision it creating a helpful profile for each student by learning about them through interactions. This tailored approach aims to help students to make informed decisions and find their dream study.
In short, there are enough (technical) challenges for you to dig in to. We value initiative greatly!
