Responsibilities
• Develop hands-on programming courses to teach CS concepts using Brilliant’s Python learning game. • Design new learning games — visual, puzzle-driven experiences that teach foundational principles in algorithms, data structures, and computational thinking. • Decompose complex computer science ideas (e.g., recursion, backtracking, dynamic programming) into approachable, well-sequenced steps that empower learners to reason from first principles. • Design content that is clear, creative, and intuitive — using interactivity to help learners build confidence and mastery. • Build immersive, interactive learning experiences that guide learners along problem-solving journeys. • Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to imagine and create new interactive features, visuals, and mechanics that elevate the learning experience on both computers and phones. • Have an undergraduate degree or above in a STEM field, and you’ve developed a strong grounding through research or teaching that extends beyond traditional curricula. • Have a knack for teaching complex topics using a progression of clear, simple, hands-on steps. • You have experience with building or using interactivity to motivate, engage, and challenge learners, including in asynchronous contexts. • Have a way with words, especially when communicating challenging concepts, and your writing skills (in English) are top notch. • Are great at context switching and prioritizing among a large workload. • Have an openness to change and a willingness to experiment with formats and platforms. • Are not afraid to jump into any aspect of a project to fill a vacuum, no matter how big or small. • $110,000 - $180,000 a year • Plus stock options.
