Help us apply AI to improving education! The Cisco Networking Academy is reimagining how to teach technical domains for a heavily AI-assisted world.

This role is pivotal in developing advanced AI-driven educational tools, focusing on conversational, project-based learning platforms. By leveraging natural language processing and machine learning, you will help build personalized interactive learning experiences that adapt to open-ended user inputs in real-time, and foster a deeper, more intuitive understanding of the content. This AI-driven project-based-learning platform will not only enable users to navigate complex concepts more effectively but also ensure that they can apply these insights to a wide variety of real-world scenarios, enhancing problem-solving skills and technical proficiency.

Our team is building a fast and powerful semantic engine. The focus is on project-based learning, with interactive NLP interfaces to provide real-time instructive feedback to open-ended queries and responses. Features will include conversational agents and embedded adaptive interactive features using real-world emulated experiences. The engine will be crafted to deepen one's understanding of technical subject matter.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with NLP and semantic expertise.

Why Cisco?

#WeAreCisco. We are all unique, but collectively we bring our talents to work as a team, to develop innovative technology and power a more inclusive, digital future for everyone. How do we do it? Well, for starters - with people like you!

Nearly every internet connection around the world touches Cisco. We're the Internet's optimists. Our technology makes sure the data traveling at light speed across connections does so securely, yet it's not what we make but what we make happen which marks us out. We're helping those who work in the health service to connect with patients and each other; schools, colleges, and universities to teach in even the most challenging of times. We're helping businesses of all shapes and sizes to connect with their employees and customers in new ways, providing people with access to the digital skills they need and connecting the most remote parts of the world - whether through 5G, or otherwise.

We tackle whatever challenges come our way. We have each other's backs, we recognize our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate and support one another - from big and small things in life to big career moments. And giving back is in our DNA (we get 10 days off each year to do just that).

We know that powering an inclusive future starts with us. Because without diversity and a dedication to equality, there is no moving forward. Our 30 Inclusive Communities, that bring people together around commonalities or passions, are leading the way. Together we're committed to learning, listening, caring for our communities, whilst supporting the most vulnerable with a collective effort to make this world a better place either with technology, or through our actions.

So, you have colorful hair? Don't care. Tattoos? Show off your ink. Like polka dots? That's cool. Pop culture geek? Many of us are. Passion for technology and world changing? Be you, with us! #WeAreCisco
