About bina

bina is a full-time, globally distributed online primary school, built from the ground up to reflect how children actually learn. We serve learners aged 4-11 across 30+ countries in intentionally tiny, live classrooms (max 7 learners). Our pedagogy weaves together academic rigour, emotional intelligence, environmental consciousness, and radical curiosity — delivered through a research-based, tech-enhanced model that is adaptive, modular, and joyful.

The Role: Learning Architect

As Learning Architect, you will lead the development of Precision Education at bina — a paradigm of highly personalised, data-informed, and emotionally attuned learning. You will operate at the confluence of learning science, instructional systems design, EdTech architecture, and human development to build an operating system for learning that is modular, adaptive, and inherently global.

Your core responsibilities:

• Conduct R&D at the cutting edge of learning theory, cognitive science, AI, and game-based learning
• Translate international standards into a micro-credentialed, competency-based curriculum
• Design the pedagogical feedback engine: real-time adaptation of content, pacing, and context based on rich learner data
• Architect multi-sensory, multi-modal experiences that are joyful, inclusive, and deeply engaging
• Lead global design sprints with experts across child development, HCI, data science, and creative learning
• Define what evidence of learning looks like—seamless, longitudinal, and beautifully embedded in the experience

Requirements

Who You Are

We are upfront that most candidates won’t meet the unique requirements of this role. You’ve already started sketching ideas and operate at a level where interdisciplinary intelligence resists classification. You blend research with systems thinking, and abstract ideas with execution. You might be:

• A PhD-level learning scientist with strong product sensibility
• A curriculum theorist who prototypes in Figma and writes in Python
• A systems thinker who understands both the classroom and the cloud
• A designer who works in rubrics, emotion, and machine learning equally

Minimum thresholds:

• Doctorate (or equivalent depth) in Learning Sciences, Developmental Psychology, Curriculum Design, HCI, or related
• Proven leadership in designing standards-aligned, modular, or adaptive curriculum systems
• 7-10+ years in EdTech, R&D, or educational innovation, with global or cross-cultural reach
• Fluency in assessment design, competency mapping, and learning analytics
• Comfort collaborating with product teams, data engineers, and educators
• Experience designing for (or with) primary learners aged 5-11

Bonus signals:

• Experience with AI-enabled learning tools, game mechanics, or simulations
• Fluency in EdTech interoperability frameworks (xAPI, LRS, LMS)
• Track record of public thought leadership (publications, talks, field-defining work)
• Multilingualism, international schooling experience, or anti-colonial curriculum design perspective

What is Precision Education?

Precision Education means continuously orchestrating what, how, and when children learn - using real-time data, emotional context, and human intuition. It is responsive pedagogy, grounded in insight and delivered with elegance.

Imagine:

• A learner stalls on fractions not due to misunderstanding, but because it has been 17 minutes since lunch
• A co-play task reveals disengagement—not through scores, but play patterns
• The system flexes—three times this week

Now imagine that system working in 30+ countries — fluidly, beautifully, with joy. That’s what you’re building.

Benefits

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation + stock options (aligned to experience & impact)
• Remote-first culture, async by design, with a globally distributed team
• Intellectual autonomy and the licence to provoke
• A live platform with real traction, real families, and real momentum
• A high-trust, high-calibre team of kind, curious builders
• A mission with real gravity—and the tools to pursue it boldly

How to Apply

This is not a volume hire. It is a targeted global search for a rare kind of person who can redefine childhood learning.
