You'll be joining a proven learning model already delivering measurable outcomes at Alpha School. LearnWithAI powers the platform behind it and is scaling rapidly across the US and internationally. Students complete their core academics in two hours daily and perform in the top national percentiles. The model is validated. What it requires now is someone who spends every day focused on the people within it.

You'll establish design excellence, define standards, and create the function. Your scope covers our learning platform and its companion learning applications, serving diverse audiences both inside and outside Alpha.
A five-year-old who hasn't yet learned to read is discovering numbers through a system that must make discovery feel like play. A teenager performing two grade levels below their age is rebuilding self-belief after repeated setbacks, and a single unclear interaction could undo that progress. A parent gains visibility into their child's actual learning journey. That transparency reduces worry and transforms them into a capable advocate. An academic coach overseeing a multi-age classroom must track progress without information overload. You must understand each group with sufficient depth to make meaningfully distinct choices for every one.

Your responsibility is the experience layer: investigate each audience with genuine rigor, translate insights into design principles engineers can implement directly, and deliver code-ready outputs that function immediately, not conceptual mockups awaiting approval. You collaborate with product leaders accountable for results and engineers who deploy production code. You challenge requests that compromise user experience. You own the entire process.

You'll employ AI as a force multiplier to accelerate iteration and expand coverage, but your expertise, not the tool's initial output, determines what launches. Primary focus remains our education platform, with select projects in additional domains.
