A Brief Overview
The Learning Experience Technologist III serves as an experienced hybrid designgineer who
leads the creation, implementation, testing, and adaptation of innovative educational
technologies at Stanford Medicine. This role combines user experience research, learning
design, and full-stack development to design, build, and refine educational technologies that
demonstrate what is possible in the evolution of learning. Working within the team alongside
faculty, physicians, and members of the medical education community, this position drives
prototyping and development efforts, applying emerging technologies including AI, immersive
learning environments, and adaptive learning systems to complex medical education
challenges.
This role is ideal for individuals with deep experience in both design and development who
operate independently, provide technical and design leadership, and model hybrid practice for
the broader team.
