Interaction Developer, Graph Specialist, is a highly technical, collaborative, and creative role. Graph specialists work closely with content experts, designers, computation layer (CL) specialists, editors, and others to ideate custom student-driven interactions within the Desmos platform, then create them using mathematics as a coding tool within the Desmos graphing calculator. The role can be thought of in many ways as a cross between software engineering and interaction design. Graph specialists must problem-solve and think through difficult logical tangles daily in order to deliver their custom interactions. They understand that the hard work of creating delightful K-12 interactions is challenging and requires passion, an open mind, and recognition of the talent in others. They collaborate with skill and humility.

We are currently seeking individuals who will focus on building custom interactions within the Desmos platform for our literacy curriculum. This role is a great fit for you if you have experience teaching literacy; enjoy spending significant time in the Desmos graphing calculator; have strong opinions about what makes an interaction intuitive, delightful, and visually appealing; and can help us understand the perspectives of people who are historically excluded in education or technology. You love learning new things, relish a challenge, and take satisfaction not only in elegant solutions, but also in the creative journey along the way.

  • Use our Computation Layer language in a lightweight way to connect Desmos graphs to other components in the Desmos Activity Builder. Collaborate with CL specialists to handle more complex scenarios.
  • Work closely with Design and Illustration to produce the highest levels of usability and delight.


Collaboration and Communication:
  • Join other graph specialists in steadily leveling up the team's graphing skills by sharing best practices, discussing challenging problems, and reviewing animations and interactions in existing lessons.
  • Receive, synthesize, and strategically implement feedback from other team members to improve and polish your interactions.
  • Offer feedback in written form and also via video chat because conversation is a natural way humans think together.


Continuous Learning and Innovation:
  • Explore the boundaries of what's possible with our technology and offer feedback to the product and engineering teams to help drive future development of our tools.
  • Learn about Amplify's philosophies for technology, design, pedagogy, accessibility, and equity.
