About Silverbrook Learning

Silverbrook Learning builds assessment and practice tools for secondary school science and mathematics. Our software is in classrooms across Australia, New Zealand and a growing number of schools in Singapore and Malaysia, which means we are constantly translating between curricula that disagree about what a fifteen-year-old should know. About 60 of us work here, asynchronously, most with some teaching background.

What you'll do

• Own the curriculum mapping layer, the system that connects our question bank to the syllabus outcomes each jurisdiction requires.
• Lead our expansion into two new curricula, working with subject matter experts to establish coverage and identify the gaps in our existing content.
• Define how adaptive practice sequences work, balancing pedagogical evidence against what teachers will actually tolerate in a classroom.
• Talk to teachers regularly, including classroom observation, because what teachers say in a survey and what they do at 8:50 on a Tuesday are different things.
• Work with our content team on quality standards for question writing, including the review process that catches ambiguous items before students meet them.
• Prioritise ruthlessly across a roadmap where every request comes with a genuinely sympathetic case attached.

What we're looking for

• Four or more years in product management, curriculum development, or educational publishing with product responsibility.
• Real understanding of how secondary schools work, ideally including time spent teaching or working closely with teachers.
• Familiarity with assessment design principles: validity, reliability, and why a question can be hard for the wrong reasons.
• Comfort working with subject matter experts who know more about the content than you do and expect to be treated accordingly.
• Strong writing, since we make decisions in documents and our team spans six time zones.
• Based in the Asia-Pacific region with at least three hours of overlap with Australian Eastern Time.

Nice to have

• Experience with more than one national curriculum framework.
• A science or mathematics background at tertiary level.
• Exposure to learning analytics or psychometrics.

Benefits

• Health insurance, or a cash equivalent in countries where we cannot contract directly.
• Twenty weeks of paid parental leave, available to all parents.
• Annual learning budget with paid time to use it, including for teaching qualifications.
• Async-first working with two overlap hours and no standing daily meetings.
• Home office allowance and annual equipment refresh.

Salary is benchmarked against the local market for your location and discussed openly in the first interview.
