[Hiring] Static Content Curriculum Developer @STAR Autism Support LLC

Role Description

STAR Autism Support has an opening for a Curriculum Developer for our Static Content Team!

The Static Content Curriculum team is a small, collaborative group of individuals who each play a hands-on role in bringing STAR Autism Support's curriculum to life while maintaining alignment to STAR's values. Every lesson passes through multiple sets of hands — drafted, refined, illustrated, and organized — before it reaches a classroom, and each person's craft shapes the final product. We're united by STAR's broader mission: empowering educators to implement evidence-based strategies that improve outcomes for children with autism.

This role is central to how STAR delivers on its mission. Every lesson plan and resource you write becomes something a teacher uses in real time with real students — your work is often the first hands that shape what eventually reaches the classroom. It's a direct line to empowering educators and improving outcomes for children with autism and developmental disabilities.
