You're stepping into an established learning model already delivering measurable results at Alpha School. LearnWithAI powers the platform beneath it, scaling rapidly throughout the US and internationally. Students complete their core academics in two hours daily and achieve top national percentile scores. The system is validated. What it requires now is someone who consistently thinks about the people within it.

You'll establish design excellence standards, define what quality means, and construct the function. Your domain encompasses our learning platform and its complementary learning applications, serving diverse audiences both inside and outside Alpha.
A five-year-old who cannot yet read is learning to count through a system that must transform novelty into play. A teenager performing two grade levels below target is reconstructing confidence following years of academic struggle, where a single confusing interaction could reverse progress. A parent finally understands how their child truly learns. This transparency reduces anxiety and transforms them into an effective advocate. An academic coach overseeing a multi-age classroom requires visibility into progress without information overload. You must understand each audience thoroughly enough to make fundamentally different design decisions for each.

Your role centers on the experience layer: investigate each audience with substantive depth, translate findings into design principles engineers can implement directly, and deliver code-based outputs ready for immediate deployment—not mockups awaiting review cycles. You collaborate with product leaders accountable for outcomes and engineers responsible for shipping. You challenge requests that compromise user experience. You own the complete cycle.

You'll employ AI as a force multiplier to accelerate iteration and expand coverage, though your judgment—not the model's initial output—determines what ships. Primary focus remains our education platform, supplemented by occasional cross-domain projects.
