About the Role:
Job Location - Delhi/NCR
The Learning Designer, Technical/AI, is a full-time, India-based role responsible for the design and development of Coursera-produced content and for supporting Coursera’s APAC partners. This role focuses on learning design, prototyping, experimenting, and ensuring high-quality vendor production through clear standards and constructive review, focusing on content primarily but not exclusively in the domains of AI/ML, Computer Science, Data Science, and related areas. You will play a key role in designing, prototyping, producing, and measuring the impact of innovative, scalable learning experiences.
To achieve this, you’ll partner with subject-matter experts (SMEs), APAC partners, and production vendors to develop asynchronous, skill-aligned, online learning content. As Coursera continues to expand its portfolio of technical, AI, and workforce-focused learning experiences, this role may also work closely with technical SMEs and contribute to the design of content in areas such as software engineering, data science, AI, cloud computing, and emerging technologies.
You will produce vendor-ready design deliverables and will also collaborate with cross-functional internal teams, including Teaching & Learning, Learning Analytics, Content Production Management, and Content Maintenance & Optimization, to ensure strong alignment of design practices, share findings, and continuously improve upon our designs.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead learning design for scaled Coursera-produced learning experiences (short- and long-form) with emphasis on modular, skill-aligned design and robust assessment design.
- Partner with subject matter experts (including technical SMEs) to translate expertise into vendor-ready design deliverables, including learning outcomes, program architectures, outlines, storyboards, sequenced learning journeys, and assessment specifications, while ensuring technical accuracy and real-world applicability.
- Build replicable design systems, templates, and acceptance criteria to accelerate consistent production across vendors.
- Collaborate on repackaging efforts: recombine modules and learning assets into new long-form offerings or program structures that align to skill outcomes.
- Adhere to design standards; provide detailed, actionable feedback and Quality Assurance checks to production vendors and Coursera partners.
- Contribute to pedagogical innovation, AI-assisted design tooling, prompts, templates,agentic workflows, and technology-enabled content development processes that improve quality, scalability, and operational efficiency.
Basic Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, or a related technical domain.
- 3–5 years of combined experience in technical domains (e.g., Computer Science, Software Engineering, AI/ML, and related areas) and/or designing, teaching, developing, or supporting technical learning experiences, curricula, or educational products.
- Experience as a technical instructor, curriculum developer, subject matter expert, bootcamp educator, learning designer, or similar role supporting adult learners in higher education, professional education, or workforce development.
- Demonstrated hands-on technical proficiency, including building, prototyping, or implementing software applications, AI solutions, agentic workflows, or other technology-enabled products.
- Demonstrated experience leveraging GenAI technologies to solve real-world problems, improve workflows, develop educational experiences, or build AI-assisted tools and solutions.
Preferred Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a related field.
- Demonstrated experience with modular, skill-aligned course design and assessment design.
- Experience working with SMEs and external production vendors to translate designs into production deliverables.
- Familiarity with authoring and design tools such as Figma, Articulate Storyline, or similar.
- Familiarity with learning analytics, data-driven optimization practices, and analytics tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau); comfort with experimental design, SQL, and the Coursera platform is a plus.
- Experience communicating with external partners (e.g., clients, universities, or enterprise stakeholders) to gather requirements, set expectations, and influence design decisions.
