Learning Scientist
LearnVector, Mountain View, California
The role
You will invent new ways to teach that take advantage of agentic AI — and apply rigorous measurement to prove they work. Agentic AI makes teaching moves possible that no classroom or MOOC could offer: a tutor that remembers everything, infinitely patient practice, feedback on real work product, assessment woven invisibly into learning. Most of these possibilities are unexplored, and much of what's shipping across the industry today has no evidence behind it.
Your job is both halves: design the new methods, and hold them to the standard of evidence. What did the learner retain a week later? Can they apply it to work that looks nothing like the exercise? You'll be the person in the company whose answer to "is this teaching?" is a measurement, not an opinion.
What you will do
- Invent and prototype AI-native teaching methods — working with engineers to build them into the product, not writing papers about what could be built
- Design the company's measurement backbone: what we measure to know learning happened (skill gain, retention, transfer), and how it's instrumented into the product
