We Are Hiring (& Offering Grants!)

Our mission at Comini Learning is to enable personalized, playful, meaningful learning. We currently operate a microschool in Mumbai, and are building personalized AI tutors & assistants to make learning fun and accessible at scale.

You can learn more about how we are enabling learning and why we are excited for the future of learning here & here.

We think anyone can learn anywhere. And that’s true for grownups too! And we believe this even when it comes to hiring. We don’t think you need a degree to demonstrate that you know something. We believe, instead, that you’ll be able to show us you can do what is required and learn what it takes to get there.

So our hiring is open to absolutely everyone!

UPDATE (April, 2024): We have filled these full-time roles (except for in-person educators). However, you are welcome to try out these challenges and reach out to us. Grant applications are still open.

We encourage women who are on a break from work and are looking to get back.

Hiring Challenges

AI/ML Engineer

1) Find the pattern hidden in these numbers. (OR)

2) Create a chrome extension that does the following when installed. A) It will change the article on any major Indian newspaper site of your choosing into a fictional Bollywood song (not a random song; the song should be generated based on the article in question). B) It should also change the title or the article into a fictional Bollywood/Indian movie name. Important: You must use a model you have fine-tuned to generate these. (OR)

3) Fine-tune a large language model to generate icons. You can only use an LLM and not any other models.

Curriculum/Project Designer

Come up with a board game idea to explore a specific science concept. The game should be appropriate for 5 to 9 year olds. Your idea should be concrete enough that we can follow the instructions and play the game using cardboard as a stand-in for the board and pieces.

Illustration/ Graphic Artist

Draw a 5-panel illustration that explains any appropriate STEM activity of your choosing. Along with the artwork, you must also share a brief note explaining the choices you have made.

Software Developer

Find our recenter browser plugin (it is open-source). Understand what it is for and suggest an interesting and useful feature you can add to it. Go through the code, try out the extension, and share a brief note on how you would go about building this feature. Note: Send us an email once you have thought this through, have put together the design doc, and are ready to start coding. Make sure your note reflects that you've tried it out and can point to how features can be improved/added.

Note: Send us an email once you have thought this through, have put together the design doc, and are going to start coding. Important! Do not expect a reply if you send a lazy chatgpt/llm response. We'll be able to know when you've done that :)

Massive BONUS points if you pull the code, add the feature, and share a video preview of it!

And finally, please note: This is an open-source extension, so whatever code you contribute will be public and your name will be associated with the update, so this is work you can showcase.

Please send these to sai@comini.in with the title Comini Software Developer Role (or Comini Software Intern Role, depending on what you are applying for)

UI/UX Designer & Developer

Come up with a redesign for the IRCTC website. Not just the landing page, but the process until the payment flow. Your design should be accompanied by notes on why you made certain design decisions. BONUS: You can translate this design into a working front-end.

In-person Educator (Bandra, Mumbai)

Please fill out the form linked to to on this page instead.
