What You'll Be DoingYou'll work with a highly talented and collaborative team to develop Outsmart's math 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 math 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- Recent PhD grad in Math Education, or a closely related field
- Teaching experience in undergraduate mathematics (as instructor, TA, or course designer)
- Strong pedagogical content knowledge - you can break down complex math concepts into clear, scaffolded learning sequences
- Comfort with technology and eagerness to learn AI-assisted content tools and workflows
- Familiarity with learning standards and frameworks (e.g., CCSS, NCTM practices) is a plus
- Collaborative and low-ego - you give and receive feedback well and enjoy working across disciplines
- Bonus: experience with edtech platforms, app-based learning, data analysis, or curriculum research
What You'll Work On- Course content development - author and refine lessons, exercises, and problem sets across the math sequence in partnership with the Senior Learning Designer
- Assessment creation - build formative and summative assessments that measure proficiency and surface actionable learner insights
- AI-assisted content workflows - use and help improve AI tools for content generation, review, and quality control
- Content quality and accuracy - proofread, test, and validate math content for correctness, clarity, and pedagogical soundness
- Learner data review - analyze how students interact with your content and use those insights to iterate
- Documentation - contribute to course specs, style guides, and internal standards that keep the team aligned
