Job Description

Taleemabad began with a bold idea in a small Islamabad room: What if every child in Pakistan could access world-class learning; no tutor, no privilege required?

That spark became a nationwide TV show, an app in 1.5 million hands, and 140+ Taleemabad schools. Then we stepped into Pakistan’s public education system: two districts, thousands of teachers, measurable learning gains.

Now we’re taking the next leap: AI-powered learning at national scale. We’re building the technology that will make quality education universal.


The Mission

We’re looking for a Head of Engineering & AI who can turn ambition into architecture, someone who can lead with both heart and code.

You’ll guide a 30-member engineering team through our next phase of growth: scaling systems, infusing AI across products, and shaping the digital backbone of Pakistan’s learning future.

This isn’t just a leadership role, it’s a chance to rewire how a nation learns.


What You’ll Build and Lead

  • Define the Future: Build and execute Taleemabad’s tech and AI roadmap to reach millions.
  • Lead the Builders: Grow and inspire a high-performing, mission-driven engineering team.
  • Architect for Scale: Oversee secure, cloud-based platforms (AWS, PTCL Cloud) built for growth.
  • Make AI Work for Learning: Lead AI integration from LLMs and RAG to adaptive learning models.
  • Champion Quality: Embed excellence across CI/CD, testing, DevOps, and agile delivery.
  • Partner for Impact: Collaborate with Product, Learning, and Data teams to deliver elegant solutions.
  • Guard the System: Ensure reliability, compliance, and performance at scale.
  • Stay Hands-On: Review architecture, write code, and keep your pulse on the craft.


You Might Be the One If...

You’ve led teams through complexity and kept them inspired.

You see education as the ultimate engineering challenge.

You find clarity in chaos and build systems that last.

You believe code can change more than products it can change lives.


Your Toolkit

  • 10+ years in software engineering, with 5+ in leadership
  • Mastery of backend scalability and modern frontend frameworks
  • Experience building complex, cloud-native systems
  • Proven work with AI/ML, LLMs, RAG, and generative models
  • Fluency in AWS (PTCL Cloud is a plus)
  • Skilled in agile and distributed team leadership
  • Strong communicator, system thinker, and culture builder


Bonus Points:

Experience in EdTech or mission-driven ecosystems

Deployed AI features in live environments

Familiar with infrastructure-as-code and automated scaling


Why Taleemabad

This isn’t just another engineering job. It’s a chance to engineer equity to design systems that unlock opportunity for millions. At Taleemabad, you’ll find a team that’s bold, stubbornly optimistic, and allergic to mediocrity.

We offer:

Competitive market-based compensation

A mission that outlives any app

The thrill (and chaos) of building something that matters

A seat where education meets AI and every line of code has a story behind it


How to Apply

Send your CV and a short note to [email protected], sharing one story about something you built: a system, a team, or an idea that grew beyond what you imagined.


Note: Taleemabad is an equal-opportunity employer. We hire for grit, imagination, and purpose not titles.
