We combine proven curriculum principles with world class interactive design to make meaningful practice something students want to come back to, not something they struggle through.\nWe support what teachers, schools, and parents are already doing by increasing student engagement with high quality, standards aligned practice that reinforces classroom learning. That’s why we’re building:\nFor students: Rewarding and motivating learning experiences that meet students where they are to build real academic proficiency.\nFor educators: Tools that fit naturally into instruction and help students stay engaged while reducing teacher workload.\n For parents: Activities that help your kid catch up or get ahead, build confidence, and minimize homework battles, whether learning at school or at home.\nWe are committed to helping every person maximize their potential and live a life of meaning. It’s a difficult problem that requires brilliant people and tremendous effort over time.\nLevel is looking for a Technical Designer to sit at the intersection of design, engineering, and pedagogy to take a learning experience from concept to a polished experience in the hands of real users. You'll drive the experience from start to finish, working closely with pedagogy experts and cross-disciplinary support teams, and ensure the audience feedback loop drives positive iteration to the product.\nThis is a hands-on, force-multiplier role: half designer, half technical builder, with a refined eye on the holistic experience.\nWhat You'll Do\nCollaborate on a mutli-disciplinary team to deliver end-to-end instructional design for core EdTech learning content, from concept through production\n\nProduce high-quality, cohesive learning modules and activities with attention to detail across a large and growing content library\n\nCreate and implement animations and visual content that is pedagogically relevant and appropriate.\n\nPartner with content specialists, product managers, producers, UX/UI, and engineers to translate instructional intent into polished, interactive digital experiences\n\nApply principles of UX/UI design, integration design, and systems thinking to new and innovative learning activities.\n\nDrive the playtest feedback loop. Sit in on playtests, make sure findings actually turn into changes, correct content yourself where you can, and escalate the bigger issues to supporting teams.\n\nDesign with extensibility in mind. Consider how a given solution could serve broader use cases beyond the immediate ask.\n\nWork fluidly with teachers, engineering, product, and UX to keep everyone aligned on what's being built and why.\n\nLeverage AI and generative AI tools to accelerate content development workflows and improve quality at scale\n\nEvaluate and refine AI-assisted content for pedagogical soundness, developmental appropriateness, and standards alignment\n\nYou'll Thrive in This Role If You Have\n3+ years of experience in design, product design, or interactive content development.\n\nExperience scripting or modding in a game engine environment (Unreal, Blueprints, Lua, Godot, or comparable tools).\n\nBasic UI/UX sensibilities - you know good experience design when you see it, even if it's not your primary discipline.\n\nA track record of rapid prototyping. You can take existing tools and content and quickly shape them toward a specific experience outcome.\n\nA genuine passion for holistic experience quality: coherence, polish, and deep empathy for the end user's journey.\n\nStrong cross-functional communication skills - you can translate between design, engineering, and product without losing nuance.\n\nAbility to manage multiple workstreams and maintain high quality at startup pace.\n\nA portfolio or work samples demonstrating instructional design, interactive content, game design, and/or animation work (please include a link with your application)\n\nNice to Have\nK-12 classroom teaching experience.\n\nExperience with adaptive or personalized learning systems.\n\nExperience directly incorporating research findings into product or content decisions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4186,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T20:21:59Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.251,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":78,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/level-technical-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/level-technical-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T08:39:39Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":9353,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4417780},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4417780"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flevel-technical-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Flevel-technical-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Flevel-technical-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/level-technical-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flevel-technical-designer"}]}
