Kira is transforming how people learn by using AI to empower teachers to deliver personalized learning at scale. We’re backed by top investors and driven by a team that is deeply passionate about using technology to change education.

The Curriculum & Learning Specialist works to design courses, produce training materials, QA content, and deliver professional development. This is a role for someone who loves making high-quality educational content, enjoys teaching adults, is enthusiastic about using AI-powered learning tools to improve student outcomes and save teachers time, and wants to grow into a broader customer-facing and strategic function over time.

What You'll Do

Curriculum Development and Content Creation

• Design and build courses aligned to customer contract requirements using Kira's AI-powered course creation tools and instructional design best practices

• Support large-scale course builds including domestic curriculum and international programs

• Conduct QA review for all customer-facing courses prior to release, including contractor-produced content, ensuring alignment with Kira's instructional standards

• Develop lesson plans, vocabulary lists, pacing guides, and standards crosswalks that help districts use Kira's platform for their own curriculum needs

• Design content with localization and multilingual audiences in mind, particularly for LATAM and international government partners

Professional Development Support and Delivery

• Develop and maintain training materials, facilitator guides, agendas, and speaker notes for PD sessions across domestic and international accounts

• Produce contractor-ready materials that allow Kira's growing facilitator network to deliver sessions independently without sacrificing quality

• Co-facilitate in-person and virtual PD sessions during initial engagements, progressing toward independent facilitation for assigned accounts over time

• Own follow-up commitments from PD sessions, communicating resolution promptly to the customer and assigned Customer Success Manager (CSM)

• Travel to facilitate in-person PD sessions as needed

Quality Assurance and Standards Alignment

• Review all customer-facing courses and training materials prior to delivery, flagging instructional gaps, alignment issues, or platform inconsistencies

• Understand when AI is useful, and when a human eye is necessary.

• Maintain and update standards crosswalk documentation as course content and state requirements evolve

• Ensure all curriculum reflects a 'teaching with Kira' lens — designed for whole-class instruction, real classroom contexts, and meaningful engagement, not just platform onboarding

• Support the Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles course update process to meet current College Board standards

Reporting and Documentation

• Maintain up-to-date records of training activity, curriculum deliverables, and session outcomes in HubSpot

• Report training delivery metrics (sessions, participants, completion rates, qualitative feedback) to CS leadership for customer and partner reports

• Contribute to annual PD calendar development and summer planning

What We're Looking For

• Must be bilingual, fluent in Spanish and English

• Former educator: K-12 classroom experience is required, not preferred

• Strong instructional design background, ideally in K-12 and/or higher education

• Genuine curiosity about AI-powered tools and how they can support real classroom outcomes

• Ability to manage multiple deliverables, communicate proactively, and work independently in a distributed, fast-moving team

• Computer science or STEM education background

• Experience designing curriculum for multilingual, international, or non-traditional learner audiences

• Familiarity with AI-powered course creation tools or a demonstrated ability to learn new EdTech platforms quickly

• Experience writing facilitator guides or contractor-ready training materials

• A 'teaching with technology' orientation — always asking what will actually work in a classroom, not just what looks good on a slide deck

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure where none exists yet

• Willing to handle the 'repeat' work (the foundational trainings, the QA passes, the contractor materials) with care and craft, while growing toward more strategic responsibilities over time

• Eager to learn how a fast-scaling EdTech company operates and contribute beyond a narrow functional lane

What We Offer

• $90,000 - $110,000 OTE salary + meaningful equity

• Medical, dental, vision and life insurance, including a medical insurance plan with 100% coverage of employee.

• Daily lunch credit through DoorDash in office + free DashPash to use anytime for work or personal use.
