We are creating a uniquely equitable, accessible, and motivating user experience for learners of all ages. To pull this off, the team we’re building requires a unique blend of curiosity, raw ability, ambition, empathy, and a relentless desire to learn.

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Technical Product Manager to join our small, super-talented, and fast-paced team. In this role, you will play a key role in shaping the development of our AI-powered educational products.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including AI engineers, software developers, and UX designers, as well as gather input from education specialists and users to design, prototype, and launch products that improve learning outcomes and user engagement.

We are looking for candidates who have previous experience working in educational technology or publishing on curriculum development, instructional design, and formative and summative assessment, including high-stakes exams.

• Collaborate with our engineering team to integrate learning science with our AI technology stack to deliver best-in-class teaching and learning experiences to our users.

• Conduct market research and user feedback sessions to identify educational needs and gaps that our products can address.

• Define and analyze metrics that inform the success of the product in terms of engagement, usability, and educational impact.

• Work with teachers, content developers, and instructional designers to ensure that product features are pedagogically sound and effectively support various teaching approaches and objectives.

• Oversee product trials in educational settings to gather detailed feedback and iteratively improve the product.

• Communicate product features, benefits, and differentiators to internal teams, customers, and other stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Education, Instructional Design, Educational Technology, Computer Science, or a related field.

• 3 years of product management or relevant related experience, preferably in the edtech or AI technology sectors.

• Strong understanding of instructional design, curriculum development, and assessment approaches and best practices.

• Experience with AI technologies and their application in educational settings is highly desirable.

• Proven ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Excellent problem-solving, organizational, and analytical skills.

• Strong communication and presentation skills, capable of conveying complex ideas and influencing stakeholders.

Why Join Us?

At Atypical, you will have the opportunity to learn every detail about this brave new AI-powered world, and to work on exciting, complex, and deeply meaningful problems, shaping the future of education for decades to come. We offer competitive compensation, unlimited PTO and a flexible work schedule, a learning & development stipend, and more. Join us and be part of a team that values innovation, creativity, and inclusivity.

Not only are we committed to diversity and inclusion, we believe the best ideas can only come when you bring together people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, and ideals. We foster an environment of mutual respect and constantly challenge ourselves to question our own assumptions. We recruit, employ, train, compensate and promote regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, disability, age, veteran status, other protected statuses, or your choice of favorite La Croix flavor (though the correct answer is “Pamplemousse”).
