Job description

⚠️ This isn’t a usual Applied Psychologist job.

It’s the chance to redefine what learning feels like: to craft the experiences inside the OS for Human Greatness Augmented with AI.

Science-backed. Design-led. AI-powered. Global.

At Paradox, we’re building a new category: an ecosystem that fuses neuroscience, design, AI, and behavioral transformation so that people don’t just consume knowledge, but rewire who they are. You’ll be designing experiences, not lessons.

Deep inside you are looking for a new adventure with…

• 🚀Ambition: Smart teammates driven to create an iconic international product
• 🔥Impact: you strive for making a real difference in the company growth, and not be a number in a big organization
• 😍Mission: knowing your greatness left a mark in people lives, through technology and behavioral science

At Paradox, we are convinced that greatness is trainable.

That’s why we want to empower people at scale, by leveraging cutting edge technologies like AI, and crafting user experiences with outstanding aesthetics.

We do that by merging:

• Human Intelligence (coaches, peers, and mentors)
• Structured Intelligence (protocols, mental models, rituals)
• Technological Intelligence (AI personalization, feedback loops, adaptive journeys)

To create one seamless ecosystem: Paradox OS.

Your mission is to turn this ecosystem into beautifully orchestrated learning arcs that feel alive, cinematic, and deeply human.

This is why we are looking for an Applied Psychologist with a deep love for teaching in order to make Paradox a category-defining global brand loved for its learning experiences.

This is a full‑time position from our beautiful offices in Dubai, Paris, or Lisbon or remotely anywhere in the world.

OUR BELIEFS

We believe self‑help is broken. Most learning platforms are used the same way: consuming generic theories, getting quick highs, ending with no real change.

At Paradox, we believe people deserve more.

More than content. More than motivation. They deserve a system that knows them, one that adapts, challenges, and grows with them.

At Paradox, learning = transformation. We believe that technology can do more than entertain or save time. It can translate insight into transformation, through AI personalization, lean experimentation, and deep psychological understanding.

Because learning shouldn’t just make you feel inspired for a day, it should change how you live, think, and create.

OUR VISION

At Paradox, we want to re‑invent how people grow. We do not build another course or coaching app but the Operating System for Greatness.

Founded by David Laroche, a creator followed by over two million people and known for his interviews with icons like Tony Parker, Mike Horn, Richard Branson, and Gad Elmaleh, Paradox aims to build something that will live beyond any individual (including its founder), for decades to come.

Our ambition is to compete with players like Mindvalley (150M ARR), but with a sharper vision, grounded protocols for achievers, people who want more for their life, refusing mediocrity.

To do that, we bring together designers, tech, coaches, and filmmakers to create learning experiences that are cinematic, precise, and effective.

We move fast, aim high, and hold ourselves to the standards of Apple, Spotify, and MasterClass. No fluff, focused on meaningful impact.

Get obsessed with transforming our clients’ lives, treat it like a science, build, measure, improve and let those transformations be our marketing.

While others hide their numbers, we want to let our results speak loudly for us.

YOUR MISSION 🚀

As our Applied Psychologist, you’ll bridge psychology, storytelling, and product design to craft experiences that make people say: “This didn’t just teach me, it changed me.”

Each cycle you lead will integrate:

• Protocols: guided frameworks that rewire perception, emotion, and action.
• Loops: adaptive, AI‑powered coaching cycles that evolve with each user.
• Personalization: experiences that feel uniquely theirs, every time.
• AI agents: specialized agents that enhance the student journey with the right actionable insights.

YOUR 4 MAIN MISSIONS

• Learning Experience Architecture backed by science – Owns the full learning system, from architecture to execution.
• Design the journey, not just the content and lesson, and make it science‑backed but also captivating for non‑scientists.
• Script learning experiences that engage both heart and brain: each word, exercise, and soundscape must serve transformation, not just knowledge.
• Ensure every feature supports the evolution of the Paradox ecosystem: Loops, PX Agents, Protocols, Membership.
• Craft a premium, high‑impact course experience.
• Craft new courses with experts.
• Co‑craft courses with top performers, translating their genius into cinematic, science‑based learning journeys.
• Lead the end‑to‑end design of the course, from initial strategy to final content delivery.
• Own scripting, copywriting, and the creation of educational assets (learning modules, assessments, reflection prompts, supplemental materials).
• Conduct desk and user research to inform course goals, learner personas, and curriculum structure.
• Craft AI conversations and loops.
• Write and optimize prompt chains, refine tone and flow until every exchange feels human and transformative.
• Review conversations with AI to refine the agents.
• Analyze, measure, iterate for transformation and stickiness.
• Define KPIs of transformation (not just completion).
• Iterate on the course using learner data, feedback, and performance metrics.
• Be obsessed with user problems: talk to users weekly, analyze patterns, and identify where transformation breaks.
• Apply principles from habit formation, self‑determination theory, and behavioral triggers to drive daily practice and retention.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE 😍

Experience

• 3–6 years as Learning Designer, Instructional Designer, or Experience Designer (EdTech, Coaching, or Transformational Education preferred).
• You’ve shipped at least one major feature or product end‑to‑end, and can show measurable results.
• Comfortable with AI tools, Figma.
• Proven track record of designing and delivering digital learning experiences across a variety of asset types (video, written articles, assessments, interactive experiences, etc.).
• Portfolio of one or more “cinematic / narrative‑rich” courses or learning programs (e.g., not just corporate training, but premium courses).

Traits

• Craft‑obsessed: You get things done, love to work beyond 9‑5, have a doer mentality, a bias for outcomes, and want to be a beast in your field.
• Strong writing skills: you’re a strong editorial thinker with experience producing high‑quality content for external audiences.
• Strong aesthetic sensibility: you care how the course “feels.”
• User and Impact Obsessed: you think in outcomes, not outputs; you care about transformation.
• Critical Thinker: you can turn a vague problem into a clear hypothesis, challenge your own assumptions, break models, and rebuild them grounded in real data, field insights, and lived experience.
• Digital and AI savvy: you’re able to build AI Agents (if not, you demonstrate ability to learn while applying).

Language

French: native.

English: Fluent; you can hold a conversation on specific details with English‑speaking colleagues. Our chosen language for written communication is English.

IT MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU

• ❌ If you want to design a program on a subject like Critical Thinking, Negotiation without reading four of the best books on it, this is not for you.
• ❌ If you need clarity before chaos, wrong place.
• ❌ If you prefer balance over intensity, wrong season.
• ❌ Surface‑level Vision Alignment: you like the idea of Paradox but don’t want to get the depth. Paradox is design‑led; you must touch the product, not just manage it.
