Learning Designer
(AI & CS)

About imagi 

School districts across the US know they need to bring AI into classrooms. Board members are asking, state grants are available, and students who do not learn AI today will be behind the ones who do. But the AI tools that actually work were not built for schools. They do not meet COPPA or FERPA requirements, and every district leader knows they are one news story away from a problem they cannot explain to their school board.

imagi is the only K-12 platform that puts all three things districts need in one place: a student-safe, compliant AI environment; a structured curriculum that has students actually learning and building real applications with AI; and professional development so teachers do not have to be AI experts to teach it.

The role

Curriculum is the heart of imagi. We are building a lot of curriculum right now, and we are looking for a hands-on Learning Designer to build it with us and own it end to end.

This is a lead-and-do role. You will set the vision for our AI literacy and computer science curriculum: what students should learn about AI and, just as important, how they learn it without using AI to shortcut their thinking. You will personally write the lessons, build the projects, and align them to standards. On a small team, the person who decides what a lesson should teach is the same person who builds it. You will be an AI-native curriculum builder who uses tools like Claude to produce high-quality, classroom-ready material faster than a traditional team ever could.

You will work directly with our co-founder and CTO/CPO (who has led curriculum development so far), Director of District Partnerships, Customer Success Manager, Curriculum and PD Specialist, and a group of expert teacher-contributors. You will leverage AI and those contributors to scale your output, and there is room to grow a team as we scale. The exact shape of the role can be tailored to your strengths.

What you'll own

• Set the vision and roadmap for imagi's AI literacy and computer science curriculum across grade bands, and decide what we build next based on classroom impact and what helps schools adopt it.

• Design and build the curriculum itself: lessons, projects, and assessments that are rigorous, genuinely engaging, and easy for any teacher to deliver, including teachers without a CS background.

• Keep our curriculum aligned to the standards and frameworks that matter to schools and districts, including CSTA, state CS and AI standards, and CTE and employability pathways.

• Own the learning experience for AI civics and literacy (understanding AI and using AI), scaffolding it for students of different ages and skill levels.

• Shape the content behind our teacher professional development so educators feel confident teaching AI, even without a technical background.

• Partner with teachers, expert contributors, and our community to test the curriculum, gather feedback, and continuously improve what we ship.

• Use AI tools to create high-quality curriculum at scale, and define how imagi builds curriculum as the team grows.

What you bring

• A teaching background in computer science and in AI or emerging tech, ideally with US middle or high school students (our primary market). You have stood in front of that classroom, so you design with deep empathy for real learners.

• Proven curriculum, instructional, or learning-design experience: you can take a standard or a learning goal and turn it into a lesson students love and teachers can run. 

• Some commercial or product experience (a startup, edtech, or another fast-moving, customer-focused setting; it need not be big), so you can make trade-offs and move quickly, not only classroom or PD experience.

• You are genuinely hands-on and hungry. You would rather ship three great lessons this week than write a strategy deck about lessons.

• Daily use of AI in your own work, and you are a learner yourself (building with Lovable, creating skills in Claude, digging into research). You use AI to increase your output without lowering quality: you avoid AI slop and lean on trusted frameworks and open resources to keep curriculum rigorous.

• Familiarity with US K-12: how teachers adopt tools, how curriculum directors evaluate them, and standards like CSTA and state CS/AI frameworks.

• Strong ownership and judgment. You can take a goal and run with it end to end, with minimal oversight on a lean team.

• Excellent communication, persuasion, and a sharp eye for detail.

Nice to have

• Experience building AI literacy or CS curriculum for K-12 specifically.

• Knowledge of CTE or employability-skills pathways.

• Familiarity with tools like Lovable, Claude, ElevenLabs, or Synthesia.

• Experience growing a teacher community, ambassador program, or early-tester network.

• Comfort in the CSTA and ISTE ecosystems.

• Experience at a startup or scaling edtech company, and comfort in a tech-forward, cross-functional team.

• Line-management experience, or genuine interest in growing into it as the team grows.

Where you're based

We are remote-first. We have a slight preference for candidates based in the US or in Sweden (near our Stockholm HQ), and we are open to exceptional people elsewhere. We meet as a full team once a quarter.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation.

• Flexible, remote-first working, with the whole team meeting up once a quarter.

• Generous paid time off.

• Benefits suited to where you're based.

• A close-knit, international team that takes its mission seriously and has fun doing it.

• Real ownership and visible impact: on a team this small, your work ships and reaches classrooms fast.
