You'll be joining a validated learning model already delivering measurable results at Alpha School. LearnWithAI powers the platform underneath, scaling rapidly across the US and internationally. Students complete their core academic work in two hours daily and score in the nation's top percentiles. The approach is effective. What's needed now is someone who thinks constantly about the people using it.

You'll establish design excellence, create the standards, and develop the function. Your scope includes our learning platform and its associated educational applications, serving diverse audiences both within Alpha and externally.
A five-year-old who can't yet read is learning to count through an interface where novelty must feel like play. A teenager performing two grade levels below needs to regain confidence after years of academic struggle, and a single unclear interaction could reverse that progress. A parent finally understands how their child learns. That transparency reduces worry and transforms them into a capable advocate. An academic coach overseeing a multi-age classroom requires visibility into progress without information overload. You must understand each user deeply enough to design genuinely distinct solutions for each.

Your role centers on the experience layer: conduct thorough research into each audience, translate findings into design principles engineers can implement directly, and deliver code-ready outputs that function immediately, 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 entire process.

You'll employ AI as a multiplier 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 select projects in additional domains.
