StrongMind is a remote-first education and technology company on a mission to transform learning for students, families, and educators across the country. For more than 25 years, we’ve partnered with schools and districts to deliver innovative, student-centered learning experiences powered by technology, compassion, and bold thinking.

We believe education should be flexible, human, and built for real life. That belief shapes how we design our products, support our partners, and work together as a team. At StrongMind, you’ll find smart people doing meaningful work, a culture rooted in trust and accountability, and leaders who genuinely care about both outcomes and people.

The Team You Will Join

You’ll be part of the Curriculum Development team, working closely with instructional designers, editors, media specialists, and product and engineering partners. This team is responsible for designing and delivering high-quality, standards-aligned digital learning experiences for K–12 students.

The team culture is collaborative, innovative, and quality-driven, with opportunities to build new courses, improve existing content, and shape how curriculum is developed using modern tools and AI-assisted workflows.

The Difference You Will Make

In this role, your work will directly impact students and educators by creating engaging, accessible, and academically rigorous learning experiences.

You’ll help design and develop curriculum that supports student mastery, aligns to standards, and reflects best practices in instruction and assessment. Your contributions will play a key role in improving student outcomes while advancing how StrongMind leverages technology and AI to scale high-quality content.

A Typical Day Looks Like

• Design and develop standards-aligned online and blended curriculum for K–12 students in one or more core subject areas, including English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
• Build curriculum maps and instructional plans using backward design to align standards, learning objectives, instruction, and assessments.

• Use Course Builder and other AI-enabled tools to accelerate curriculum development while validating content for instructional quality, accuracy, accessibility, and alignment.
• Analyze educator feedback and student performance data to continuously improve course content and learning experiences.

This role balances independent work, collaboration, strategic thinking, and execution and is well-suited for someone who enjoys creating engaging learning experiences, solving instructional challenges, and continuously improving curriculum.
