Must-haves:

Native Thai speaker with deep intuition for natural, contemporary usage
English at C2 or near-native level — you'll write, communicate, and collaborate entirely in English
Experience in edtech, curriculum development, instructional design, or language teaching
Comfort working in a fast-paced startup where priorities shift and autonomy is expected
Understanding that Ling is a tech product — content lives inside strict structural and UX constraints, not a textbook
An eye for systems: you think about how to build things that scale, not just solve the problem in front of you

Strong pluses:

Knowledge of or genuine interest in related Asian languages (Lao, Khmer, Burmese, or others in the region)
Hands-on experience with Narakeet, Firebase, or Lokalise (or comparable tools)
Familiarity with CEFR frameworks (A1–B1 range is our primary target)
Background teaching Thai to foreigners or designing materials for adult learners
Knowledge of tonal language pedagogy and the specific challenges non-native learners face
Prior experience coordinating or mentoring a small content or language team

You'll Thrive Here If You…

Take ownership instinctively — no one will micromanage this content
Can zoom out to curriculum strategy and zoom in to fix a single awkward sentence
Think in systems: you want to build frameworks others can follow, not just produce content
Get energized by constraints rather than frustrated by them
Want your work to reach a global audience of real learners, not sit in a Google Doc
