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.).

Benefits

  • 🌍 Global impact — shape how millions of learners experience education.

  • 💡 Innovative environment — design with AI tutors, gamified systems, and a creative team.

  • 🎮 Gamified work culture — experience the same learning adventure we offer students.

  • 🕐 Flexible schedule — remote work that fits your life.

  • 💰 Competitive pay based on experience and contribution.

  • 🚀 Growth opportunities — potential to lead Self-Degree’s Curriculum Design Department.

  • 💬 Collaborative team — work with educators, developers, and designers reimagining learning.
