Job Description
Self-Degree is the world’s first decentralized university — combining AI-powered learning, human mentorship, and gamified progress to make education personalized, accessible, and fun.
We’re on a mission to help homeschooling families, self-directed learners, and career changers organize their education through smart, adaptive learning paths. With Self-Degree, one hour of focused study equals 4–5 hours of traditional learning — thanks to proven learning science, AI tutoring, and gamified engagement.
We’re seeking a visionary Curriculum Designer to join the Self-Degree team. In this role, you’ll design AI-enhanced, learner-centered curricula that blend academic rigor with flexibility, creativity, and gamified motivation.
You’ll work closely with our educators, AI developers, and designers to create dynamic learning roadmaps across multiple subjects — transforming how people experience education.
Responsibilities
Design modular, adaptable curricula for K–12, homeschooling, and adult learners.
Collaborate with AI and content teams to create personalized learning roadmaps and missions.
Translate learning objectives into interactive lessons, quests, and activities.
Integrate proven learning techniques (active recall, spaced repetition, metacognition, etc.) into curriculum structures.
Curate multimedia learning materials — books, videos, apps, podcasts, and real-world projects.
Align learning outcomes with college readiness, career pathways, and Self-Degree certifications.
Contribute to the development of assessments, progress tracking, and achievement systems.
Ensure curricula are inclusive, engaging, and adaptable for diverse learners.
Requirements
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Education, Curriculum Design, Instructional Design, or related field.
3+ years of experience designing or managing curricula (homeschooling, K–12, or online learning preferred).
Deep understanding of learning theory, pedagogy, and competency-based education.
Ability to structure curricula for personalized, self-paced learning environments.
Strong written and organizational skills, with attention to clarity and engagement.
Familiarity with AI tools, learning management systems (LMS), or edtech platforms.
Bonus: Experience with gamified learning design, project-based education, or alternative education models (Montessori, unschooling, etc.).
