About The Position

PulseLearning is an award-winning custom learning provider that creates outcome-focused solutions that have a measurable impact on our clients. Headquartered in Ireland, we have teams in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. We are a one-stop shop for a wide variety of custom learning solutions and services, including eLearning, ILT/VILT, blended learning, live-action and animated video, games, AR/VR, localization, learning strategy, and staff augmentation services. PulseLearning takes a customer-centric approach, and we are proud of the trusted relationships we have built with our long-standing clients. We are committed to continuing to strengthen these relationships while creating new opportunities for growth. PulseLearning is seeking a highly skilled eLearning Developer to transform completed instructional design storyboards into polished, engaging, visually compelling, and technically sophisticated digital learning experiences. This is a hands-on development and visual production role, not an Instructional Designer role. Our Instructional Designers are responsible for learning strategy, content structure, and instructional design. The eLearning Developer is responsible for bringing that vision to life through exceptional technical development, interactivity, animation, illustration, and visual execution. The ideal candidate is an advanced Articulate Storyline 360 and Rise developer who can move well beyond standard templates. You should be comfortable building custom interactions using variables, triggers, states, branching scenarios, and other advanced Storyline functionality while also bringing strong visual design, animation, and illustration capabilities. We are looking for someone who takes pride in both the technical quality and visual finish of every learning experience.
