The Role
Math Learning Designers at Brilliant design interactive learning games to teach a wide range of concepts, from foundational logic and arithmetic thinking to calculus, linear algebra, and beyond. We’re hiring exceptional learning designers who can teach mathematical thinking creatively, as well as brainstorm new interactive experiences that bring the principles of mathematical problem solving to life.
You will work in a small, nimble team to redefine the future of education. You will use your pedagogical instincts and taste to expand Brilliant’s library of Math learning games and achieve the best possible outcomes for our learners and our business. You will be joining a passionate and experienced team of entrepreneurial-minded people who are working to make a meaningful impact on the world.
To be considered for this role, please include your best example(s) of how you've taught mathematical concepts interactively online.
