By joining our team, you’ll have the opportunity to reshape how the world learns and applies skills—and help millions of people participate in the new economy. Bring your ideas, expertise, and perspective to meaningful work that can make a difference at global scale.

Coursera’s Content & Credentials org empowers learners, partners, and enterprise customers to achieve their goals. We improve the learning experience through innovative systems, scalable solutions, and close collaboration with partners and vendors to deliver high-quality content. As champions of the Coursera community, we align cross-functional teams to drive continuous improvement across the platform.

Within the Content & Credentials org, the Teaching & Learning team brings together learning design experts and researchers who provide best practices, training, and consulting for content development. We work closely with partners and content creators to design transformational learning experiences, using research, experimentation, and data insights to improve learner satisfaction, engagement, and outcomes.

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. 

• →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.

• 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.
