Description

You will design interactive learning games to teach programming and algorithmic thinking using Python, working in a small team to redefine the future of education. You will use your pedagogical instincts to expand Brilliant's library of CS learning games and achieve the best outcomes for learners and the business.

Requirements

• 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 used AI agents extensively for coding, and have an opinionated stance on what core concepts are important to teach in the world of agentic coding
• Have a knack for teaching complex topics using a progression of clear, simple, hands-on steps
• 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

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
