[Hiring] Director of Learning @Untamed Intelligence

Role Description

As Director of Learning, you will help define how learning works in the product—from the underlying representations and AI behavior to curriculum, teaching, assessment, and evidence of learning.

This is not a role where Product decides what to build and Learning supplies the pedagogy. Learning is product, and product is learning.

You will work closely with the Chief Product Officer and Engineering to define the system itself.

Responsibilities

• Design the learning architecture.
• Build and refine the competencies, knowledge graphs, relationships, metadata, and underlying schemas that drive curriculum and learner experiences.
• Design how AI teaches.
• Write and test agent prompts and pedagogical instructions, and help define strategy for agent behavior, feedback, personalization, constraints, and human intervention.
• Rethink assessment for the AI era.
• Help define what credible evidence of learning looks like when learners have ubiquitous access to AI, then translate that into activities, assessments, criteria, and system behavior.
• Build and evaluate.
• Use code and AI development tools to prototype ideas yourself and test them with synthetic learners, LLM-as-judge, human review, and real learners—understanding what each method can and cannot tell us.
• Turn evidence into decisions.
• Examine learner work and behavior, draw on learning science and emerging research, design experiments, and make clear recommendations about what to keep, change, or throw away.
• Help build the learning function.
• Create approaches and tools that can scale beyond one person, and collaborate with or lead subject-matter experts, designers, assessors, researchers, and other learning contributors as we grow.

Qualifications

• Deep expertise in learning.
• A builder’s orientation.
• Systems thinking.
• Strong judgment about evidence.
• Intellectual range.
• Exceptional resourcefulness.

Requirements

• This is a senior, hands-on role.
• Substantial experience making consequential decisions about learning.
• Strong practical command of learning science, learning design, curriculum, assessment, and/or competency-based education.
• Experience using tools like Codex, Claude Code, APIs, or lightweight development environments.
• Ability to engage seriously with established research.
• Capability to learn new domains quickly and operate well without a large team or established process.

Benefits

• Location: Remote
• Reporting to: Chief Product Officer
• Role type: Full-time
• Compensation: $165,000-195,000
