## Description (the employer's text)

Level is a learning technology company dedicated to helping students build real academic and life skills with confidence and joy. We combine proven curriculum principles with world class interactive design to make meaningful practice something students want to come back to, not something they struggle through.

We support what teachers, schools, and parents are already doing by increasing student engagement with high quality, standards aligned practice that reinforces classroom learning. That’s why we’re building:

For students: Rewarding and motivating learning experiences that meet students where they are to build real academic proficiency.

For educators: Tools that fit naturally into instruction and help students stay engaged while reducing teacher workload.

For parents: Activities that help your kid catch up or get ahead, build confidence, and minimize homework battles, whether learning at school or at home.

We are committed to helping every person maximize their potential and live a life of meaning. It’s a difficult problem that requires brilliant people and tremendous effort over time.

If you want to use your skills to make a difference for the world, Level is seeking an experienced educator and instructional designer to develop exceptional mathematics content. As a Senior Learning Designer, Math, you'll craft engaging pedagogy, practice exercises, and assessments that bring our virtual teacher ("the Guide") to life. This role combines deep classroom teaching expertise (or equivalent real-world mathematical experience) with learning science principles and digital instructional design to create scalable, high-quality educational experiences for students.

### What You Will Do

### Develop High-Quality Mathematics Content

Write pedagogy, practice exercises, and assessments from the ground up in grades K-12 mathematics

Sequence lessons to align with cognitive development, prerequisite knowledge, and learning progressions

Develop and adapt curriculum to the latest research and best practices

Anticipate common mistakes and misconceptions and build corrective pathways

### Collaborate Across Disciplines

Work within our content "toolkit" (interactive formats, assessment structures, pedagogical models) to design effective learning experiences

Partner with designers, behavioral scientists, technologists, and SDT experts to bring our virtual teacher to life

Integrate motivational principles (e.g., self-determination theory, growth mindset, self-efficacy) into content design

### Apply Learning Science & Instructional Design

Leverage principles of cognitive load theory, pacing, mastery learning, and common misconception analysis

Design scaffolded instruction that supports learner-centered experiences

Create accurate, clear, and engaging content that works in one-on-one digital settings

### Produce Content Efficiently

Generate high-quality modules with attention to detail and consistency

Translate hands-on teaching experience or applied mathematical expertise into effective digital pedagogy

Contribute to repeatable content creation systems

### Qualifications

Teaching or Applied Math Experience: 5+ years of classroom teaching OR a strong engineering, mathematics, or related technical degree combined with real-world quantitative work experience and some current or prior classroom teaching experience.

Demonstrated ability to explain complex concepts in accessible, engaging ways

Instructional Design Expertise: Strong background in instructional design with a track record of designing lessons, learning sequences, and assessments for digital and interactive learning environments

Learning Science Foundation: Deep understanding of cognitive development, learning dependencies, common misconceptions, and cognitive load management, with ability to translate theory into effective teaching practices

Collaboration Skills: Proven ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams and adapt to creative and technical constraints while maintaining pedagogical quality

### Need to Have

5+ years of mathematics teaching experience, mathematics curriculum development, or a background in engineering, mathematics, or a related technical field paired with real-world professional experience and at least some classroom teaching experience
