Descrição da oferta de emprego

Level is a learning technology company dedicated to helping students build real academic and life skills with confidence and joy. We combine proven curriculum principles with world class interactive design to make meaningful practice something students want to come back to, not something they struggle through.

We support what teachers, schools, and parents are already doing by increasing student engagement with high quality, standards aligned practice that reinforces classroom learning. That’s why we’re building:

For students: Rewarding and motivating learning experiences that meet students where they are to build real academic proficiency.

For educators: Tools that fit naturally into instruction and help students stay engaged while reducing teacher workload.

For parents: Activities that help your kid catch up or get ahead, build confidence, and minimize homework battles, whether learning at school or at home.

We are committed to helping every person maximize their potential and live a life of meaning. It’s a difficult problem that requires brilliant people and tremendous effort over time.

If you want to use your skills to make a difference for the world, we're seeking an experienced educator and learning designer to help build our English Language Arts (ELA) product from the ground up. As a Senior ELA Learning Designer, you'll combine deep classroom teaching expertise with digital product experience to craft engaging pedagogy, practice exercises, and assessments that bring our virtual teacher (\"the Guide\") to life. This role sits at the intersection of learning science, instructional design, and product development. This is a key hire for how we build ELA at Level.

- Work within our content toolkit (interactive formats, assessment structures, pedagogical models) to design effective learning experiences
- Partner with designers, behavioral scientists, technologists, and SDT experts to bring the Guide to life
- Integrate motivational principles (e.g., self-determination theory, growth mindset, self-efficacy) into content design
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate instructional intent into scalable digital experiences

Apply Learning Science & Instructional Design
- Leverage principles of cognitive load theory, pacing, mastery learning, and common misconception analysis
- Design scaffolded instruction that supports learner-centered experiences
- Apply AI and generative AI tools to accelerate content creation workflows and improve quality at scale
- Evaluate and refine AI-generated content for accuracy, developmental appropriateness, and standards alignment

Build Scalable Content Systems
