The Challenge
We've created a stunning design for our teacher module guides—a clean, intuitive layout that teachers love. However, with nearly hundreds modules and state-by-state data variations, manually populating this design would take months of human effort. We need someone who can bridge design tools and data automation to make this vision a reality.
Role Overview
As an AI Design Automation Specialist, you'll develop a system that integrates AI workflows with design tools (particularly InDesign) to automatically populate our teacher guide templates with structured data. You'll work at the intersection of design automation, data processing, and AI to transform spreadsheets and data sources into publication-ready materials at scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Design Automation Pipeline – Build robust systems that connect InDesign with structured data sources (spreadsheets, databases) to automatically generate teacher guide layouts across 450+ modules
- AI-Powered Data Processing – Leverage AI tools to clean, standardize, and transform educational content data for design automation workflows
- Template Development – Optimize and script InDesign templates for automated population while maintaining design integrity and visual quality
- State-Specific Customization – Create flexible systems that handle state-by-state variations in educational standards and module data
- Quality Assurance – Develop validation workflows to ensure automated outputs meet design and content standards
- Documentation & Handoff – Create clear documentation of automation systems for ongoing maintenance and iteration
Qualifications & Skills
- Strong experience with Adobe InDesign scripting (JavaScript/ExtendScript) and automation workflows
- Proficiency in data processing and transformation (Excel, Python, JavaScript, or similar)
- Understanding of AI/LLM capabilities for content processing, data cleaning, and standardization
- Experience working with structured data formats (CSV, JSON, XML) and spreadsheets
- Design sensibility – ability to maintain visual quality and layout integrity in automated workflows
- Strong systems thinking – able to design robust, maintainable automation pipelines
- Excellent problem-solving skills with attention to detail and edge cases
Preferred Skills
- Background in design systems or template-based publishing workflows
- Experience with educational content or understanding of K-12 standards frameworks
- Familiarity with data validation and quality control processes
- Knowledge of version control for design assets and code
- Experience with API integrations connecting design tools to data sources
Why Work With ThinkCERCA?
- Solve a high-impact problem that directly helps teachers access better resources
