The job responsibilities include:

• Write learning goals and content to align with product interactions for early childhood learning, with special focus on math and science.
• Advise producers, game designers, product designers, web developers and others on appropriate content, pedagogy and assessment strategies

I went to Leapfrog HQ once for an exploratory meeting. Although we didn't end up collaborating on that venture, I came away with a solidly positive impression of the Leapfrog universe and the smart, pleasant inhabitants.
