** This is a Stanford Health Care job.*
* ** 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.
