AI Learning Designer (Math)

Ello is seeking a full-time AI Learning Designer (Math) in San Francisco to help shape the instructional vision and design of our math learning experiences. This role sits at the intersection of elementary math pedagogy and AI: you'll build and refine AI-powered math learning activities, steer our AI tutor to teach math the way a great human educator would, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers to make it happen.

What You Will Do

Design and build AI-powered math lessons that combine strong pedagogy with engaging learner experiences. Evaluate AI tutor outputs to ensure they are instructionally effective and developmentally appropriate. Guide and refine AI tutor behavior by helping shape prompts so the agent teaches as an expert math tutor would.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We're looking for someone with a strong technical foundation, experience in AI-forward workflows, and a genuine passion for math education. You should be excited to work closely with engineers, understand the capabilities and limitations of modern AI systems, and have a strong conceptual understanding of how AI components and software systems work together to deliver intelligent, interactive learning experiences.

Requirements

• Deep expertise in math education, curriculum design, or learning science, particularly in early elementary or elementary mathematics
• A strong technical foundation. This could include experience in computer science, artificial intelligence, educational technology, or building technology-enabled learning products.
• A genuinely AI-forward workflow — you use LLMs and other generative AI tools daily, and can speak specifically to how they've changed how you work
• Comfortable communicating fluently with engineers and product teams, translating instructional ideas into AI-powered learning experiences
• Able to ramp quickly, take ambiguous direction, and hit a high output bar independently

Benefits

• Competitive salary
• Equity in a public benefit corporation
• Opportunity to work with a small, collaborative team that takes each other's voices seriously
• Diversity and inclusion in the company culture
• Flexible work arrangements, including working from home 2-3 days a week
