You're joining a proven education model already delivering results at Alpha School. LearnWithAI powers the platform behind it, scaling rapidly throughout the US and internationally. Students complete their core academics in two hours daily and achieve top national percentile scores. The model delivers. What's needed now is someone who thinks constantly about the people within it.

You'll establish design excellence, create the standards, and develop the function. Your domain covers our learning platform and its associated learning applications, serving diverse audiences both within and outside Alpha.
A five-year-old who can't yet read learns counting through a system that must make discovery feel like play. A teenager behind by two grade levels is reconstructing confidence after years of struggle, where a single confusing interaction could undo progress. A parent gains visibility into how their child actually learns. That transparency reduces worry and transforms them into an effective partner. An academic coach overseeing a mixed-age classroom requires visibility into progress without information overload. You must understand each deeply enough to make meaningfully different decisions for each.

Your role is the experience layer: investigate each audience with genuine depth, translate your findings into design principles engineers can implement directly, and deliver code-based outputs ready for deployment tomorrow—not mockups that languish in review cycles. You collaborate with product leaders who own outcomes and engineers who deploy code. You challenge requests that compromise user experience. You own the complete journey.

You'll leverage AI to accelerate iteration and expand coverage, but your judgment—not the model's initial output—determines what ships. Primary focus remains our education platform, with periodic projects spanning other domains.
