Job Summary

At Rare Breed, we’re not here to recycle outdated education models—we’re here to reinvent them. Our mission is to create bold, real-world learning experiences that prepare students for the future, not the past. Behind every powerful course, interactive tool, or new method is deep research, constant experimentation, and fearless iteration. That’s the heart of our R&D team.
We’re looking for an R&D Specialist who’s part strategist, part creative thinker, and part problem-solver. If you thrive on asking "what if?", love exploring new learning technologies, and want to shape the future of education—this is your role.

What We’re Looking For

Curious & Forward-Thinking

You’re naturally curious, obsessed with trends in learning, tech, and behavior—and you ask the hard questions others miss.

Strong Research Skills

You know how to gather, synthesize, and communicate both qualitative and quantitative research clearly and effectively.

Experimental Mindset

You love building and testing things—fast. You treat ideas like experiments, not ego trips.

Passion for Learning Design

You’re excited about pedagogy, instructional design, and creating education that’s actually effective.

Adaptable & Collaborative

You can work across multiple teams, juggle several projects at once, and thrive in an environment where things move fast.

Why Join Rare Breed?

Be a Pioneer in EdTech

Your work won’t sit on a shelf. It’ll directly shape the learning experience of students worldwide.

Growth-Oriented Culture

You’ll get to learn, lead, and innovate daily—with the freedom to experiment and grow your expertise.

Tight-Knit, Mission-Driven Team

Join a group of creators, educators, technologists, and rebels all committed to one goal: make learning actually work.

What You'll Do

As an R&D Specialist at Rare Breed, you’ll explore, test, and help implement new strategies, formats, tools, and ideas that redefine how we teach and how students learn.

Research Modern Learning Trends & Technologies

Investigate emerging educational models (microlearning, gamification, AI-driven learning, etc.) and assess their fit within Rare Breed’s teaching philosophy.

Develop Innovative Learning Experiences

Help prototype new course formats, tools, teaching techniques, or platform features that make learning more engaging, effective, and scalable.

Run Experiments & Analyze Results

Design and execute tests or pilots to gather real user feedback, usage data, and outcomes. Use insights to refine or pivot fast.

Collaborate with Content, Product, and Tech Teams

Bring a research-backed perspective to curriculum development, platform UX, and content innovation.

Document & Share Learnings

Create internal reports, presentations, and guidelines that translate findings into actionable improvements across the company.

This Role May Not Be for You If:

You’re not comfortable with ambiguity or constant iteration.
You want a fixed role with rigid structures and slow timelines.
You’re more focused on theory than application.

If you’re ready to research, test, and build what education should look like, Rare Breed is your lab. Apply now and help us invent the future of learning.
