Instructional Designer $60,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
Children complete a full day of academics in two intensely focused hours, then spend their afternoons launching podcasts, painting murals, or perfecting back-handsprings. This is the 2-Hour Learning model that drives Alpha Anywhere—and you are the strategist who maintains its precision while engineering its evolution.
From any location with reliable Wi-Fi, you will convert massive streams of AI-generated performance data into precise, timely interventions that propel each learner toward 90% mastery and higher. When a student encounters an obstacle, you will initiate a live coaching session, remove the barrier in real time, and restore their momentum with renewed confidence. At the same time, you will analyze rich flows of student performance information, identifying concealed patterns that release children's complete potential and designing next-generation AI tools that could double learning velocity.
Parents observe rising self-confidence, students accelerate their learning speed by 2×, and you witness the immediate results of every insight you generate, every AI process you automate, and every question you pose. Prepared to convert data into propulsion for young learners? Continue reading.
What you will be doing
- Creating highly precise Academic Data Reports and performing systematic analysis to identify issues, detect anomalies, and initiate corrections within 48 hours
- Conducting rapid-response intervention calls and facilitating post-assessment coaching sessions to eliminate blockers, distinguish knowledge gaps from mistakes, and sustain student motivation
- Assessing and deploying new educational applications and content while building AI/LLM prototypes to advance learning strategies and address specific challenges
- Collaborating with leadership to optimize tools, dashboards, and mastery thresholds as the AI tutor advances
What you will NOT be doing
- Attending endless meetings or producing generic presentation decks with no visibility into actual results
- Grading papers, developing lesson plans, or administering traditional educational programs—AI and innovation power our approach
- Working in high-level strategy disconnected from execution or becoming trapped in repetitive tasks—this position is hands-on and dynamic
Key responsibilities
Accelerate student learning outcomes through AI-powered analysis and real-time academic intelligence, evidenced by improved metrics including 2× learning velocity, app engagement, lesson comprehension, response accuracy, and diminished negative learning patterns throughout the Alpha Anywhere network.
Candidate requirements
- Proven experience in data science or comparable role, education, EdTech, or a student-support position combining analytical and interpersonal elements
- Proficiency in Google Sheets data analysis (lookups, pivot tables, filtering)
- High emotional intelligence, strong communication skills and a kid-friendly coaching style
- Experience building workflows and automations with AI
- At least 1 year experience working closely with K-8 students
- Available to work during required core hours of 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM Central Time, Monday through Friday.
