About ThinkCERCA
ThinkCERCA is at the forefront of AI-powered learning solutions, helping educators and students succeed with cutting-edge technology. We're seeking an AI Design Automation Specialist to solve a critical challenge : transforming our beautiful teacher guide designs from concept to reality at scale.
The Challenge
We've created a stunning design for our teacher module guides—a clean, intuitive layout that teachers love.

We need someone who can bridge design tools and data automation to make this vision a reality.

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.

- 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
