About the role

Level is seeking a Senior Learning Designer, Math to develop exceptional mathematics content. 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.

Responsibilities

• 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
• 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
• 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
• Strong instructional design background with demonstrated lesson and assessment design
• Deep knowledge of how students learn mathematics, including common misconceptions and developmental progressions
• Excellent written communication skills and ability to produce clear, concise content
• Strong organizational skills and ability to work efficiently at scale
• Comfort working collaboratively with designers, technologists, and behavioral scientists
• Flexibility and interest in developing content that may range from elementary school to high school mathematics

Nice to Have

• Technical fluency and ease adopting new tools, platforms, and AI-assisted workflows
• Hands-on experience building applications — formal programming or engineering background a strong plus
• Prior experience in edtech or digital content creation
• Formal training in education, instructional design, or learning sciences, mathematics, or engineering
• Familiarity with self-determination theory or other motivational frameworks in education
• Experience designing content for adaptive or personalized learning systems
• Experience with content production workflows and systems
