  3. Phase 3: Axion – A next-generation AI-driven personalised learning platform that dynamically adapts to each student's learning style through leveraging cognitive science and creating customised learning pathways.

  • Architect and implement scalable AI infrastructure: Design and develop a robust, cloud-based AI infrastructure.
  • Develop and Optimise AI-Powered Data Analytics for Learning Insights: Design and implement AI-driven analytics that extract meaningful insights.
  • Ensure SYNAPTA’s AI solutions meet the highest standards of accuracy, reliability, and ethics.

Qualifications:

  • Master’s (PhD preferable) in Data Science, Machine Learning, Deep Learning.
  • Strong experience in AI, NLP, and ML model development.
  • Proficiency in Python, TensorFlow / PyTorch, LLMs, and AI-driven model generation.
