AI Student Engagement Prediction Analyst

Xavier Tanaka

Contract · Job · New_York

About the role

A student who stops completing assignments, logs in less frequently, and starts rushing through content is about to disengage — but by the time a teacher notices these signals, the student is already 3 weeks behind. Our engagement prediction model detects early warning signs from learning platform behavior and alerts instructors while there's still time to intervene. The modeling challenge is separating meaningful disengagement signals from normal variation. A student who skips Monday's lesson might be sick; a student who consistently spends 40% less time on assignments for 2 weeks straight is in trouble. You'll build the behavioral features that capture these patterns, calibrate the prediction model to fire early enough for intervention without creating alert fatigue, and measure whether instructor interventions triggered by model alerts actually improve student outcomes. This is a 9-month contract. You'll work with our learning science team who defines what engagement means and our product team who builds the instructor alert interface.

Responsibilities

  • Build behavioral features from learning platform interaction data
  • Calibrate engagement prediction to balance early detection with false alarm rates
  • Measure intervention effectiveness for model-triggered instructor alerts
  • Design A/B tests comparing alerted vs control cohorts
  • Analyze engagement patterns across different student demographics and courses
  • Produce monthly reports on model performance and intervention outcomes

Requirements

  • 3+ years in data science or applied ML with behavioral prediction experience
  • Strong Python, SQL, and statistical analysis skills
  • Experience with classification models and threshold calibration
  • Understanding of experimental design for measuring causal impact
  • Interest in education technology and student outcomes

Benefits

  • Fully remote contract position
  • Competitive monthly rate
  • Meaningful work improving student outcomes
  • Access to rich behavioral datasets
  • Potential conversion to permanent
