About the Role:

We're looking for an experienced Content Writer / Domain Expert Specialist with a deep background in STEM education to join our growing team of content strategists and educators. You'll work closely with product designers and curriculum experts to craft intuitive, accessible, and pedagogically-sound content across digital learning experiences. If you're a former educator or academic with a passion for clear communication and user-centered design—and you're excited by the opportunity to shape learning tools for millions—this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with designers, researchers, and engineers to create content that supports user goals and educational outcomes.
• Write, edit, and structure in-product content (tooltips, help text, error messages, onboarding flows) that aligns with best practices and educational principles.
• Translate complex STEM concepts into user-friendly, age-appropriate language for learners, educators, and parents.
• Conduct content audits and contribute to content style guides, tone guidelines, and taxonomy systems.
• Apply inclusive design and accessibility principles to all written materials.
• Provide domain expertise to help inform product decisions around curriculum, assessment, and learner pathways.
• Review and revise educational content (questions, lessons, simulations) for accuracy, clarity, and pedagogical soundness.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a STEM field, Education (with a STEM focus), Instructional Design, or a related discipline.
• 5–10+ years of experience as a teacher, professor, or educator in K–12 or higher education, with a clear focus on STEM subjects.
• Proven ability to write clear, engaging, and accessible content for digital platforms.
• Strong understanding of UX principles and user-centered design.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working on content writing for edtech products.
• Familiarity with curriculum standards (e.g., NGSS, Common Core, AP, IB, etc.)
• Experience working with designers and engineers in agile environments.
• Passion for helping learners succeed, particularly in STEM disciplines.
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and working autonomously.

Nice to Have:

• Experience as a retired educator or professor bringing real-world classroom insights into digital design.
• Familiarity with design tools (e.g., Figma) and writing tools (e.g., Google Docs, CMS platforms).
• Understanding of localization, accessibility (a11y), and inclusive content practices.

Why You'll Love This Role:

• Shape the future of digital learning experiences from a real educator’s perspective.
• Work with a collaborative, mission-driven team that values clarity, empathy, and curiosity.
• Empower learners and educators at scale with tools that are informed by real-world classroom experience.
