Instructional Designers create engaging educational content and course materials. While both roles support e-learning, Learning Systems specialists handle platform administration, whereas Instructional Designers develop instructional content.

What are learning systems?

Learning systems are software platforms or tools designed to facilitate, manage, and track educational or training activities. They are commonly used in schools, universities, and organizations to deliver online courses, assessments, and learning resources. Learning systems often include features such as course management, progress tracking, and communication tools to enhance the teaching and learning experience. Examples include Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard. These systems support both instructors and learners by providing a centralized platform for e-learning.

How does a Learning Systems professional typically collaborate with faculty and IT teams to implement new educational technologies?

Learning Systems professionals often serve as the bridge between academic faculty and IT departments, working closely with both to ensure successful adoption of new educational technologies. They translate instructional needs into technical requirements, assist faculty with integrating tools into courses, and coordinate with IT for system configuration and troubleshooting. Regular communication and training sessions are common, as is ongoing support to address technical or pedagogical challenges. This collaborative approach helps maximize the effectiveness and user adoption of learning platforms across the institution.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Learning Systems Specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Learning Systems Specialist, you need expertise in instructional design, e-learning principles, and a relevant degree in education, instructional technology, or a related field. Familiarity with Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle, Blackboard, or Canvas, as well as certification in platforms such as SCORM or xAPI, is typically required. Strong problem-solving, communication, and project management skills help you collaborate with educators and troubleshoot technical issues. These skills ensure effective delivery, maintenance, and continuous improvement of digital learning solutions that support organizational training goals.

  • 2 - 5 years of industry and/or research experience in the field.
  • Solid background in Machine Learning systems research and experience with performance evaluation and performance modeling.
  • Hands-on experience with machine learning / deep learning methods and extensive knowledge of Large Language Model training and inference frameworks.
  • Academic publications in relevant journals and industry conferences.
  • Must have knowledge of AI systems, including compute (GPUs, TPUs, etc.) and networking (Ethernet, Infiniband, NVLink, etc.) technologies, and their various topologies, paradigms, and trade-offs.
  • Ability to independently own projects from conception to completion.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Demonstrated ability to creatively problem-solve and apply first-principles thinking to generate novel ideas, particularly in ambiguous, evolving environments.
  • Exceptional skills in communicating complex research outcomes and technical concepts to partners and internal stakeholders, while embodying our value of speaking truth.
  • Ability to work across research, product, and business functions, rolling up your sleeves to bridge gaps and accelerate outcomes, while demonstrating the core value of "we are one Lightmatter."
  • Adaptable and versatile, thriving in a high-speed, high-precision environment.

We offer competitive compensation. The base salary range for this role determined based on location, experience, educational background, and market data.
