Job Description


NovaKid is a global leader in online English education for children aged 4–12, serving 100000+ students across 50+ countries. As the Product Manager for AI & Game-Based Learning, you will own the "non-live" student experience.

Your goal is to transform the Novakid Kid’s Area from a supplementary area into a significant driver of language acquisition for young kids. You will lead the development of self-guided English learning games and integrate cutting-edge AI-based self-practice tools that encourage children to speak more, practice safely, and stay motivated between their 1:1 teacher sessions.


Focus: Kid’s Area, Self-Learning Games, and AI Features

What you’ll do

  • Lead a small team of designers and developers (with access to analytical and research resources).
  • Design and scale features like Pandy AI Tutor to provide 24/7, judgment-free speaking practice for students across various proficiencies.
  • Own the roadmap for current and future gamified worlds, focusing on LLM based learning mini-games that reinforce curriculum-aligned vocabulary and grammar.
  • Use AI to create adaptive learning paths that adjust game difficulty and content in real-time based on a child’s performance in both live classes and self-study.
  • Work with engineering to refine Speech-to-Text and AI prompting logic to maximize student speaking time—aiming for the high-engagement levels seen in AI-only learning models.
  • Design and manage the "Economy of Fun," including avatars, star rewards, and other gamification features that compete for a child's attention against mainstream apps.
  • Work closely with designers, engineers, curriculum developers, and teacher operations to turn user insights into high-quality educational content and engaging UX.



What you’ll have

  • 4+ years’ experience in a PM role.
  • Hands-on experience in AI-powered features (prompt engineering, conversational AI, or adaptive algorithms).
  • Strong background in mobile gaming or highly gamified EdTech, with a deep understanding of reward systems, level progression, and retention hooks.
  • Proven ability to build interfaces for 4–12-year-olds that are intuitive, safe, and require zero parental intervention.
  • Proficiency in analytical tools to analyze "incidental learning" metrics and game-completion rates.
  • Manage the Agile process with our engineering team, ensuring that prototypes are delivered and scaled with technical excellence.
  • You thrive in a 100% remote, distributed team environment and are a master of tools like JIRA and Slack.
  • Excellent spoken and written English.


What we offer

  • Fully remote work (core hours GMT+3).
  • A chance to shape the future of AI-driven education.
  • A fun, dynamic team that loves building innovative products.Unlimited holidays – because we trust you to deliver.
  • Bonuses and stock options – we grow together.
