Every Preply lesson sparks change, fuels ambition, and drives progress that matters. Joining Preply means helping define the future of education at global scale, and building something that truly matters for millions of people, every day.
Meet the team!
Every great learning experience at Preply starts with great data. Our data product team builds foundational data products from governed, reusable data models and semantic layers. They power analytics, AI (classic ML and LLMs) and the necessary context for agentic products, helping Preply drive growth, innovate faster and become a truly AI-native company.

Ownership: Shape and build the foundational data products for a fast-growing learning platform and marketplace, and modernise our data foundations and data platforms so every team can build on data that is trusted, governed and AI-ready.
Strategy and roadmap: Decide which data products to build and in what order. Spot opportunities with business and product teams, especially those that build our data moat, and make sure the data we build gets adopted and used.
Partners: Work hand in hand with analytics engineering, data science, engineering, product, finance and business teams.
Success: Prove the return on our data products by showing how they drive company and product outcomes and business performance.
