Do meaningful work. Work from anywhere. Enjoy a four-day workweek.

At Wonderlic, we believe great work and a fulfilling life should go hand in hand. We’re a remote-first company offering a full-time, 32-hour workweek across four days
, giving our team more time to focus on what matters at work and beyond it.

Our mission is to create a world where everyone finds and thrives in their best job—and that starts with us. We combine decades of science-based assessment expertise with industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to deliver evidence-based insights that help organizations make smarter employment decisions. Our intuitive assessment solutions empower HR teams to identify top applicants, predict on-the-job performance, and build stronger, more successful work forces.

We’re proud to bring the same thoughtful, evidence-based approach to how we work as we do to the solutions we create. We believe people do their best work when they have the flexibility, support, and time to thrive, both professionally and personally.

• Scientific Excellence: We apply rigorous scientific methodologies to develop assessments that accurately measure individual potential and help organizations make informed talent decisions.
• Innovation: We continually explore emerging technologies and methodologies, including machine learning and AI, to keep our solutions at the forefront of talent assessment.
• Lasting Impact: By integrating I-O psychology and evidence-based insights, we help organizations hire more effectively, develop talent, and improve long-term employee success and retention.

This is not a role for an ML engineer who finds people data interesting as a side project, or for an I-O psychologist who has learned to code.

We’re looking for someone who has genuinely lived in both worlds and is ready to own the problems that live between them.

Wonderlic built its applied AI/ML team from scratch, developed the Jobs Engine, a first-of-its-kind machine learning system for job analysis at scale, and won the 2025 SIOP Machine Learning Competition. We’re now refining and expanding that work to deliver sharper, richer job analysis insights across thousands of roles. You will own the continued improvement of our jobs engine, the system that ingests labor market data and produces job analysis at scale across thousands of roles, and serve as one of the organization’s experts on how AI should…
