Thai & Asian Languages Content Lead

Ling is a fast-growing language learning app focused on Asian languages like Thai, Lao, Khmer, and Burmese. They are seeking a Content Lead to own and develop their Thai course and expand curriculum design across related languages, working within a tech-driven, fast-paced environment.

Location: Thailand

Responsibilities

• Own the Thai course entirely: quality, consistency, scope, and roadmap
• Design a best-in-class Thai curriculum that is built to scale — structured so it can be adapted and localized across related Asian languages (Lao, Khmer, Burmese, and others in the Thai language family)
• Establish curriculum design principles and content standards that the broader language team can work from
• Write and review conversations, vocabulary sets, grammar notes, and cultural insights that are natural, engaging, and beginner-appropriate
• Ensure grammar concepts are accurately represented and scaffolded within app constraints (short lessons, max 10 new words, one sentence structure per lesson)
• Manage audio production workflows using tools like Narakeet
• Manage content in Firebase and Lokalise
• Collaborate with product, engineering, and other language specialists to ship on time

Requirements

• 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
