• Identify recurring ELA learning gaps through analysis of student performance data, platform analytics, assessment outcomes, writing samples, reading responses, and student work artifacts.
• Leverage AI tools and agentic workflows to redesign reading activities, writing supports, instructional explanations, vocabulary lessons, grammar exercises, scaffolds, and targeted interventions.
• Enhance ELA assessments by refining question design, writing prompts, distractors, rubrics, exemplars, answer explanations, and related instructional content.
• Review AI-generated or AI-modified materials to ensure clarity, rigor, text alignment, grade-level appropriateness, learning effectiveness, and conformity with Alpha's learning science standards.
• Draw on student evidence from MAP, SAT, AP, platform performance, and internal assessments to determine which content requires updating, replacement, or complete redesign.

• Creating one-off worksheets, lesson plans, or test prep resources that are not grounded in student learning evidence.
• Operating a traditional classroom, manually grading large volumes of essays, or handling school administrative tasks.
• Developing education software products. You will refine the learning experience, not oversee a software development roadmap.
• Limiting your role to diagnosis. You will be expected to redesign curriculum, scaffolds, assessments, and interventions that address the gaps you identify.
• Engaging in high-level education strategy from a distance. This work is hands-on, discipline-specific, and evaluated through student mastery outcomes.

Drive measurable ELA mastery gains by continuously refining reading, writing, language, assessment, scaffolding, and intervention materials informed by student learning evidence.

• Bachelor's degree or higher in English, Literature, Linguistics, Writing, Reading Education, English Education, Instructional Design, Cognitive Science, or a closely related field.
• 3+ years of experience in ELA instruction, literacy curriculum development, assessment development, educational content creation, or learning design.
• Demonstrated K-12 ELA expertise, including the ability to evaluate reading comprehension, writing quality, language accuracy, text complexity, sequencing, and grade-level appropriateness.
• Practical knowledge of learning science or instructional design principles, such as mastery learning, direct instruction, scaffolding, cognitive load, and retrieval practice.
• Experience using AI tools to improve educational work, including LLMs, AI-assisted content generation, no-code workflows, agentic AI tools, or coding/API-based tools.
• Ability to use student learning data and student work to identify ELA gaps and improve curriculum, assessments, scaffolds, or interventions.
• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to explain complex ELA concepts clearly to non-specialists.

• Direct LLM API experience for content generation, data analysis, adaptive learning, or assessment improvement.
• Experience with edtech, adaptive learning platforms, literacy assessment, or AI-supported academic design.
• Experience building an online audience or public knowledge base around literacy, writing, education, or AI.
