What You’ll Be Doing
You'll work with a highly talented and collaborative team to develop Outsmart's STEM learning experience from curriculum architecture through content creation, assessment design, and learner feedback loops. You'll work closely with product managers, engineers, and fellow learning designers to build rigorous, engaging, and scalable STEM courses that bring joy back to learning. As an AI-native company, you'll also shape how AI tools and data insights are woven into curriculum development, content generation, and continuous improvement.
Who You Are
Advanced degree in a core science discipline, Science Education, or a closely related field preferred
3+ years designing college level science curriculum (online or hybrid experience a plus)
Broad scientific fluency — comfortable stewarding courses across multiple disciplines, not just your home field
Proven experience building technology-enabled learning experiences in collaboration with product and engineering teams
Fluency with education technology and AI-assisted content workflows
Familiarity with science education standards and frameworks (e.g., NGSS, scientific practices, inquiry-based design)
Strong communicator who can translate pedagogical rationale for non-technical audiences
Bonus: experience with virtual labs, simulation-based learning, A/B testing educational content, or app-based course design
What You’ll Work On
Science curriculum end-to-end — course architecture, learning outcomes, sequencing, and mastery-based progression across biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences
Assessment strategy — formative and summative assessments that accurately measure scientific understanding and inform course iteration
Interactive content and tooling — virtual labs, simulations, data visualizations, and interactive notebooks that make abstract concepts tangible
AI-assisted content pipelines — developing and validating workflows that use AI to generate, review, and scale high-quality science content
Data-informed iteration — interpreting qualitative and quantitative learner data to identify gaps, improve engagement, and drive efficacy
Cross-functional collaboration — working with Product, Engineering, and Learning Design to ship technology-enabled science experiences on schedule
What Helps You Succeed
You thrive in ambiguity and are energized by building from scratch
You balance academic rigor with startup pragmatism — you know when to ship and iterate
You think like a product builder, not just a subject-matter expert — you care about the learner experience at every click
You take ownership without being asked and surface risks early
You're excited about AI's role in education and know where human judgment is non-negotiable
You care deeply about access and the students behind every learning outcome
