Job Description Summary:

The Interaction Developer, Computation Layer Specialist, is a highly technical, collaborative, and creative role. CL specialists work closely with content experts, designers, graph specialists, editors, and others to then bring ideas to life by writing the CL code that ties an activity together. CL specialists must have a strong understanding of interaction design that is delightful and engaging to students and must be able to solve complex problems in order to develop these interactions. They understand that the hard work of creating delightful K–12 interactions is challenging and requires passion, an open mind, and recognition of the talent in others. They collaborate with skill and humility.

Essential Responsibilities:

These responsibilities are shared by all Computation Layer specialists and are a large part of the day-to-day work.

  • Supporting Lesson Development. Work with lesson developers and graph specialists to apply medium to high complexity scripting to interactions. Additionally, brainstorm ideas and work on prototypes for new interactions. A CL specialist will work with about 2 graph specialists (on about 4 lessons) simultaneously, as needed.
  • Code Revisions and Reviews. Internally referred to as “tune-ups”, CL specialists review all of the scripting in an activity at the end of the development step. They optimize scripts and test for performance related to:
  • Correctness
  • Error messaging and warnings
  • Teacher dashboards
  • Performance
  • Student experience
  • Applying accessibility features to digital curriculum materials. Custom screen reader narrations are applied to every one of our graph displays and are controlled by CL. CL specialists author the narrations and script their playback.

These responsibilities come up less often and may not require the contributions of every team member.

  • Collaborate with other CL specialists to contribute to the collective improvement of our skills and refining of our practices.
  • Help in development and maintenance of the Computation Layer snippet library.
  • Maintain the examples and sample activities section of the Computation Layer documentation.
  • Explore new features with other CL specialists and with the product team.

Required Qualifications:

  • Degree in mathematics, mathematics education, or a related field
  • 2+ years of experience teaching mathematics in the K–12 classroom or related field
  • Basic proficiency with Computation Layer including knowledge of basic structure, sinks, sources, and syntax
  • Excellent problem solving skills
  • Alignment to team and company values around technology, design, pedagogy
  • Shared commitment to team efforts around accessibility and equity work

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience teaching mathematics in K–12 classrooms
  • High proficiency in using the Computation Layer.

Compensation:

The hourly rate for this role is $40.
