• Diagnose persistent gaps in math fluency, fact mastery, speed, and accuracy by analyzing performance data, assessments, platform metrics, and student work.
• Determine what is blocking automaticity, whether it is weak sequencing, missing scaffolds, ineffective practice, feedback, assessments, or interventions.
• Apply LLMs, no-code workflows, and agentic AI tools to redesign practice sequences, explanations, scaffolds, and interventions for Fast Math.
• Refine questions, answer explanations, distractors, rubrics, and assessments to expose misconceptions and measure mastery accurately.
• Review AI-generated or AI-modified materials for mathematical accuracy, grade appropriateness, clarity, rigor, and alignment with Alpha's learning science standards.

• Creating repetitive drill exercises without evidence that they enhance fluency or automaticity.
• Developing one-off lesson plans that appear polished but fail to shift mastery data.
• Stopping at analysis. You will identify the learning gap, rebuild the material, and assess whether the change succeeded.
• Overseeing a traditional curriculum program, performing admin tasks, or coordinating a slow review process.
• Developing education software products. Your focus is the math learning experience, not the app codebase.

Accelerate K-12 math fluency by continuously refining Fast Math curriculum, practice, assessments, scaffolds, and interventions until students calculate accurately and automatically.

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Mathematics, Statistics, Applied Math, Engineering, Physics, or another quantitative field.
• 3+ years of experience in math instruction, math curriculum development, assessment development, educational content creation, or learning design, with particular emphasis on building math fluency and fact mastery and guiding students toward automaticity in four-function math.
• Strong K-12 math subject expertise, including accuracy, rigor, sequencing, misconceptions, fluency development, and grade-level expectations.
• Practical knowledge of learning science or instructional design, such as mastery learning, direct instruction, scaffolding, cognitive load, retrieval practice, or deliberate practice.
• Experience applying AI tools to enhance educational work, such as LLMs, AI-assisted content generation, no-code workflows, coding/API-based tools, or agentic AI tools.
• Ability to analyze student learning data to identify barriers to fluency and enhance curriculum, assessments, practice, scaffolding, or interventions.
• Excellent written communication skills, particularly in explaining mathematical concepts clearly and precisely.

• Direct experience designing programs or interventions focused on arithmetic fluency, fact mastery, or automaticity.
• Experience with LLM APIs for content generation, data analysis, or adaptive learning work.
• Experience creating or improving math assessments that reveal misconceptions, not just procedural accuracy.
• Experience sharing education, math, or AI insights in an online community, such as Twitter/X, LinkedIn, or a public knowledge base.
