ello - AI Learning Designer (Math)

• You’ll collaborate closely with curriculum, product, engineering, and design to shape Ello’s elementary math curriculum, develop engaging learning experiences, and ensure our math instruction is grounded in both learning science and exceptional product design. • We're aiming to significantly grow our library of math activities this year, and we need someone who can ramp up quickly and hit that pace independently. This role is open as either a full-time contractor (SF preferred but open to remote candidates) or a full-time employee based in San Francisco. We're moving fast to fill it, but for the right person, we see this as a long-term seat on the learning design team. • Deep expertise in math education, curriculum design, or learning science, particularly in early elementary or elementary mathematics • A strong technical foundation. This could include experience in computer science, artificial intelligence, educational technology, or building technology-enabled learning products. • A genuinely AI-forward workflow — you use LLMs and other generative AI tools daily, and can speak specifically to how they've changed how you work • Comfortable communicating fluently with engineers and product teams, translating instructional ideas into AI-powered learning experiences • Able to ramp quickly, take ambiguous direction, and hit a high output bar independently • Background in computer science, software engineering, data science, or a related technical field • Experience designing AI-assisted educational experiences • Experience building edtech products or digital learning experiences • Familiarity with research-based math instruction, including number sense development, visual representations, and productive struggle • Portfolio demonstrating curriculum or product work • WE LOOK FOR CANDIDATES WHO • Obsess over learning design because all children deserve an education that creates impact with delight. • Experiment constantly, especially with AI, because yesterday’s workflows won’t build tomorrow’s products. • Have a strong, opinionated sense of what good math pedagogy looks and feels like. • Move with urgency because opportunities like this don’t come around often. • Default to ownership instead of waiting for permission. • Build meaningful relationships and communicate with honesty, empathy, and respect.
