THE ROLE

About the Role

This is an Individual Contributor (IC) role. We're looking for a (4) REMOTE eLearning / Multimedia Developers (Contract) - Advanced Storyline Required, who builds — fast, creatively, and at a high technical bar — and who does their best work when the pace is quick and the brief is still taking shape. You'll turn dense FinTech product workflows into interactive experiences that feel effortless: tax form simulations, gamified interactions, and microlearning built for a global audience.

The work covers both new builds and reimagined existing content, and it leans hard on craft — custom interactions, web objects, and high-end video, not out-of-the-box templates. Articulate Storyline is your home base, with Rise where clean, scalable content matters, and the Adobe Creative Suite for the video and motion work that makes a finished experience feel polished.

How we build matters here. Our production runs on a structured, AI-assisted workflow, and we want someone who already works this way — vibe-coding custom interactions and Storyline web objects with AI, prototyping in hours instead of days, and using generative tools to move from idea to working build fast. The intent isn't to replace your craft — it's to clear the repetitive work so your energy goes to design, interactivity, and polish. You drive the judgment, the review, and the finish.

What You'll Do

  • Build advanced interactive eLearning and gamification mechanics in Articulate Storyline — tax form simulations and custom interactions using complex triggers, variables, and JavaScript.

  • Vibe-code custom interactions and web objects — using AI to rapidly write, test, and refine the HTML/CSS/JavaScript that lives inside Storyline as web objects, pushing well past native authoring.

  • Produce and edit high-end video, animation, and multimedia in the Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Photoshop, Illustrator), woven seamlessly into the course.

  • Design responsive, modular content in Rise where clean localization and scale matter.

  • Rework tired legacy material into something visual, current, and genuinely learner-first — nothing ships straight out of the box.

  • Lean on AI (Gemini, Notebook LM, and more) to speed up storyboarding, scenario generation, narration scripting, prototyping, and revision cycles.

  • Keep everything compliant, tracked, and QA'd in Docebo — SCORM, completion tracking, the works.

  • Work shoulder-to-shoulder with SMEs, Instructional Designers, Product Design, and the DoceboOps team to launch learning plans.

  • Maintain, update, and enhance courses across modalities as content evolves.

  • Track development progress daily in Jira within an agile workflow.

  • Juggle several projects at once without losing speed, quality, or deadlines — and without needing much oversight.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 5 years developing interactive eLearning, backed by a portfolio that shows advanced technical execution — not just tool proficiency. We weigh the quality and speed of your work over a year count.

  • You already build with Generative AI in live production — including vibe coding: using AI to write and refine the JavaScript and web objects behind custom interactions. It's woven into how we work, not a nice-to-have.

  • Expert in Articulate 360 (Storyline) — complex triggers, variables, custom JavaScript, and web objects that stretch what a course can do — and fluent in Rise.

  • Advanced video and multimedia production in Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Photoshop, Illustrator) — you create and integrate high-end assets, not just make edits.

  • Genuinely creative and innovative — you consistently find ways to build what off-the-shelf tools can't.

  • Hands-on Docebo experience with strong working knowledge of SCORM and LMS publishing standards.

  • At home in Agile and fast-paced settings, with Jira or similar.

  • A reputation for shipping strong work quickly when volume is high, with minimal oversight.

  • Bonus: experience with Synthesia for AI video, 7Taps for microlearning, or Figma for quick prototyping.

Why This Role?

  • You build things off-the-shelf tools can't — and you love the challenge.

  • You want a seat in high-impact FinTech enterprise product training.

  • AI-powered tools and workflows energize you rather than intimidate you.

  • You do your best work in modern, fast-moving learning environments.

  • Innovation, speed, and quality are things you actually care about.

  • Ambiguity doesn't rattle you — you bring the structure.

  • You have a portfolio that speaks for itself.
