About the Role:

We’re looking for an experienced Domain Expert Specialist with a deep background in non STEM education to join our growing team of content strategists and educators. You’ll work closely with product designers and curriculum experts to craft intuitive, accessible, and pedagogically-sound content across digital learning experiences. If you’re a former educator or academic with a passion for clear communication and user-centered design—and you’re excited by the opportunity to shape learning tools for millions—this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Collaborate with designers, researchers, and engineers to create content that supports user goals and educational outcomes.
  • Write, edit, and structure in-product content (tooltips, help text, error messages, onboarding flows) that aligns with best practices and educational principles.
  • Translate complex concepts into user-friendly, age-appropriate language for learners, educators, and parents.
  • Conduct content audits and contribute to content style guides, tone guidelines, and taxonomy systems.
  • Apply inclusive design and accessibility principles to all written materials.
  • Provide domain expertise to help inform product decisions around curriculum, assessment, and learner pathways.
  • Review and revise educational content (questions, lessons, simulations) for accuracy, clarity, and pedagogical soundness.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a related discipline.
  • Knowledge spanning non-STEM (grades 10-12) subjects. Non-STEM, examples include History, Geography, Economics, English, Hindi, Political Science, Quantitative Aptitude, and Logical Reasoning.
  • 5–10+ years of experience as a teacher, writer or educator in K–12 or higher education
  • Proven ability to write clear, engaging, and accessible content for digital platforms.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working on content writing for edtech products.
  • Familiarity with curriculum standards (e.g., NGSS, Common Core, AP, IB, etc.)
  • Experience working with designers and engineers in agile environments.
  • Passion for helping learners succeed, particularly in STEM disciplines.
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity and working autonomously.

Nice to Have:

  • Experience as a retired educator or professor bringing real-world classroom insights into digital design.
  • Understanding of localisation, accessibility (a11y), and inclusive content practices.

Why You’ll Love This Role:

  • Shape the future of digital learning experiences from a real educator’s perspective.
  • Work with a collaborative, mission-driven team that values clarity, empathy, and curiosity.
  • Empower learners and educators at scale with tools that are informed by real-world classroom experience.
