You're joining a learning model with documented results. LearnWithAI powers the platform behind Alpha School, which is scaling rapidly across the US and internationally. Students complete their core academic work in two hours daily and achieve top national percentile scores. The approach is validated. What's needed now is someone who thinks constantly about the people using it.

You will establish design standards, define quality, and create the function. Your domain includes our learning platform and its associated applications, serving multiple audiences both within and beyond Alpha.
Consider a five-year-old still learning to read and count, engaging with a system that must present novelty as play. Picture a teenager working two grade levels below target, rebuilding trust after repeated academic setbacks—a single unclear interaction could reverse that progress. Think of a parent gaining visibility into their child's learning journey; that transparency reduces stress and enables better support. Imagine an academic coach overseeing a multi-age classroom who must track progress without information overload. You must understand each perspective deeply enough to design distinctly for each.

Your responsibility is the experience layer: conduct thorough research on each audience, translate findings into design principles engineers can implement directly, and deliver code-ready outputs that launch immediately rather than mockups awaiting review. You collaborate with product leaders accountable for results and engineers who deploy code. You challenge requests that compromise user experience. You maintain full ownership.

You will employ AI to accelerate iteration and expand coverage, but your judgment—not the model's initial output—determines what launches. Primary focus remains our education platform, with selective work in other areas.
