JOB SUMMARY

CodeAI is seeking a 6-12 Curriculum Content Developer to design and develop the engaging, effective curriculum teachers need to bring high-quality CS and AI education to students across the U.S. and around the globe. In this role you'll create curriculum content — from single lessons to multi-week progressions — for products that reach hundreds of thousands of 6-12 students every year.

You're an experienced curriculum developer with deep CS and AI content knowledge, classroom-honed pedagogical instincts, and a passion for student-centered learning. You're energized by a fast-moving AI landscape and bring curiosity, ownership, and a bias to action to your craft.

DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

In this role you will:

Build CS & AI Curriculum

• Develop and refine complex 6-12 CS and AI curriculum end to end — from single lessons to multi-week progressions — including curriculum design, on-platform levels, teacher and student resources, and assessments.
• Design learning experiences that help students deeply understand, use, and critically evaluate AI, staying ahead of a fast-moving AI landscape so curriculum stays current and relevant.
• Use AI tools to accelerate and strengthen your development work while holding a high bar for accuracy and pedagogical quality.
• Ground every lesson in research-based, culturally responsive, student-centered pedagogy so the work is engaging and approachable for all students and their teachers.

Iterate with Feedback & Data

• Treat every iteration as a chance to improve, incorporating feedback from peers, teachers, students, subject-matter experts, and classroom observations.
• Analyze student engagement and learning metrics to refine content and ensure curriculum meets or exceeds engagement and learning goals.
• Collaborate with and provide feedback to other curriculum developers on the team.

Collaborate & Advance the Field

• Partner across functions with professional learning content developers, software engineers, and others on the development of products.
• Stay current on CS and AI content, pedagogy, and best practices; share what you learn, present at conferences, and contribute to discussions that advance CS and AI education.

At the Senior level

• Take a lead role in larger and/or more ambiguous curriculum efforts, develop innovations that have cross-team impact, and mentor and review the work of other content developers.

EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS

We seek candidates who have:

• 4-6+ years working in CS and AI education, ideally including recent classroom experience teaching CS and AI
• Fluency reading and programming in one or more text-based languages — JavaScript, Python, and/or Java
• Strong knowledge of the CS and AI concepts in the 6-12 grade bands of the CSTA standards and the AI Literacy Framework
• Experience developing CS and AI curriculum used beyond your own classroom — across multiple districts or at the state level — including designing multi-week sequences with a backward-design approach
• Comfort and curiosity using AI tools in your work, and genuine interest in teaching both with and about AI
• A grounding in research-based, culturally responsive, student-centered pedagogy, and the ability to turn it into engaging learning experiences that adapt across a variety of learners and teaching environments
• The ability to analyze and synthesize feedback and data from a variety of sources and use it to refine curriculum
• A track record of managing competing priorities and delivering high-quality content on time and within scope, with minimal supervision, in a fast-paced environment
• Strong collaboration and written and verbal communication skills
• Familiarity with CodeAI curriculum and/or other CS education products
• Passion for CS and AI education and the CodeAI mission
