Math Learning Designer

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. Responsibilities Develop interactive courses that teach foundational principles of algebra, geometry, probability, calculus, and beyond. Design visual, puzzle‑driven learning experiences that guide learners along problem‑solving journeys that promote mathematical thinking and deeper understanding. Decompose complex mathematical ideas into approachable, well‑sequenced steps that empower learners to reason from first principles. Create content that is clear, creative, and intuitive — using visuals, interactivity, and problem sequencing to help learners build confidence and mastery. 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. Qualifications 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 math 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, in synchronous or asynchronous contexts. Have a way with words, especially when communicating challenging concepts, and your writing skills (in English) are top notched. Are great at context switching and prioritizing across 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.
