Online Instructional Technologist

Online Instructional Technologist (Remote)

Let’s Make Online Learning Actually Work

Ever sat through a clunky online course, clicking through slides that didn’t teach you a thing? Yeah, us too. That’s exactly why this role exists. We’re on a mission to make digital learning clear, engaging, and truly helpful. As an Online Instructional Technologist, you’ll play a key part in shaping how learners connect with content that sticks. If you're someone who loves solving puzzles, simplifying the complex, and bringing a human touch to tech—you’re in the right place. Oh, and yes—it’s 100% remote. Wherever you do your best thinking, that works for us.

What You’ll Actually Do

This isn’t about just plugging content into templates. Here, you’ll get to build learning experiences that help people really learn—not just scroll and forget. You’ll:

• Transform static lessons into dynamic experiences. One of our team members, Ali, once took a boring compliance module and rebuilt it using scenario-based learning. The feedback? "Best training I've ever done."
• Support instructors, trainers, and course creators. You’ll coach folks who may not be tech-savvy. Like helping Dave, a subject matter expert in biology, set up interactive lab simulations for his students.
• Use LMS tools (like Canvas or Moodle) with confidence. Ever built a course from scratch? Great. If not, we’ll show you how we do it, and you’ll be up and running fast.
• Play tech translator. When people get stuck—and they will—you’ll be there to fix the glitch or find a better tool.
• Stay one step ahead. Whether it's a browser update breaking a feature or a new plugin making life easier, you’re always ready to adapt.

Tools You’ll Touch Often

We don’t expect you to know everything, but if you’ve worked with some of these, you're off to a strong start:

• Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard
• Tools like Articulate Storyline, Rise, H5P, or Adobe Captivate
• Screen recording or video editing apps (Loom, Camtasia, etc.)
• Accessibility checkers
• Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack

If you’re missing a few? Don’t sweat it. We’ll train you on what matters.

Your Workday, Unplugged

Wondering how your day will look? Picture this:

• Morning: You hop on a Zoom call with an instructor who’s redesigning their course. They're stuck on how to make a quiz more interactive. You brainstorm ideas together.
• Midday: You’re testing a new tool that promises drag-and-drop video captions. Turns out, it works great—so you share it with the team.
• Afternoon: A support ticket comes in. A course won’t load for some students. You dig into the backend, spot a broken link, fix it, and follow up.
• Evening: You log off on time. Because boundaries matter.

What Makes You a Good Fit

We’re not into fancy degrees or cookie-cutter resumes. Here’s what we actually care about:

• You get how people learn online—and how they get stuck.
• You’re curious, patient, and love breaking down tech for non-techy folks.
• You’ve built or supported online courses before.
• You write clearly and explain things well.
• You’re organized. Like, color-coded-To-Do-list organized.
• You care about accessibility and inclusive learning.

If you've worked in higher ed, K–12, corporate L&D, or even as a freelancer—awesome. If you haven’t but still know your stuff? We’d still love to hear from you.

The Remote Life: What It’s Really Like

Let’s be real. Remote work can feel disconnected. That’s why we keep the human side strong:

• Weekly team huddles where everyone gets to share wins and ask for help
• Virtual co-working sessions if you miss watercooler chats
• Slack channels for everything from tech tips to pet photos

And yes, we understand burnout is real. We encourage breaks, time off, and saying no when your plate’s full.

Growth? It’s Built In

You won’t be stuck doing the same tasks for years. Around here, you get to:

• Learn new tech, constantly
• Attend paid training and conferences
• Shadow other team members to explore different areas
• Lead projects when you’re ready to step up

Some of our best folks started in totally different roles. One teammate, Jordan, came in doing tech support and now runs onboarding for all new instructors.

Salary & Perks

Annual salary: $77,500 We also offer:

• Flexible hours (as long as deadlines are met, your schedule is yours)
• Paid time off and holidays
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• Stipend for home office setup
• Internet reimbursement
• Career development fund

Little Things That Matter

• We write stuff people can actually read. You’ll help us keep things clear and simple.
• Deadlines matter, but so does grace. Life happens.
• We listen. Really. Got an idea? Speak up.

Still Reading?

That probably means this sounds like a place where you could thrive. We’re not perfect, but we’re trying hard to build something meaningful. A space where tech meets people, and learning actually helps. So if you’re ready to help learners succeed, bring creativity to the table, and be part of a kind, smart, remote-first team—let’s talk.
