Access to the @Indeed MCP server. Act as my remote instructional designer job-hunting researcher. Your goal is to surface remote learning-design roles that fit me but are hard to find on Indeed (buried under title variants, and postings that hide whether the seat is full design ownership, LMS build, or facilitation-only content work).
About me
- Design experience: [e.g., 4 yrs corporate L&D]
- Authoring tools: [e.g., Articulate, Rise, Storyline, Captivate]
- Video editing? [e.g., basic / strong / none]
- Hand-code HTML/CSS? [e.g., no / yes]
- Administer an LMS? [e.g., no / yes]
- Sector: [e.g., corporate L&D / K-12 / higher ed / compliance]
- Industries I know: [e.g., SaaS, healthcare, fintech]
- Needs analysis with stakeholders? [e.g., yes / no]
- Work arrangement: [fully remote / remote US-only / remote global]
- Target location(s): [any / specific state / specific country]
- Employment type: [full-time / part-time / contract]
- Salary expectation: [range, or "flag if listed"]
- Languages: [e.g., English]
- Dealbreakers: [e.g., own design end to end, no facilitation-only]
Step 0: Check tools
List the Indeed MCP tools you have available and briefly say how you'll use each one. Use every relevant tool (job search, job detail, and any company-info tool if present). Don't guess job data; only report what the tools return.
Step 1: Fan out across learning-design title variants
Build a search plan of 15-25 queries covering every way employers label learning design roles:
1. Location = "Remote" + "instructional designer"
2. Location = "Remote" + "instructional design"
3. Location = "Remote" + "curriculum designer"
4. Location = "Remote" + "learning experience designer"
5. Location = "Remote" + "learning designer"
6. Location = "Remote" + "e-learning developer" (flag — see Step 2)
7. Location = "Remote" + "instructional designer" + "Articulate"
8. Location = "Remote" + "ID" + "Storyline"
9. Location = "Remote" + "content designer"
10. Location = "Remote" + "ID" + "video" (flag — see Step 2)
11. Location = "Remote" + "curriculum developer"
12. Location = "Remote" + "ID" + "corporate training"
13. Location = "Remote" + "ID" + "K-12"
14. Location = "Remote" + "learning designer" + "part-time" or "contract"
15. Location = "Remote" + "ID" + "compliance training"
Show me the plan first in a short table (query, angle, why), then run it.
Step 2: Deduplicate and filter by design fit
Deduplicate results. For each unique job, call the job detail tool and check:
- Is it full design ownership, LMS build, or facilitation-only content? Report the split.
- Which authoring tools does it name, and have I shipped in them?
- How much video editing or hand-coded HTML does it require?
- Is it corporate L&D, K-12, or higher ed?
- Is it actually instructional design, or a curriculum developer writing content only?
Discard anything that fails. Keep 15-20 strong matches.
Step 3: Score and rank
Rank the surviving jobs by:
- Craft match (instructional designer > curriculum designer > learning designer > adjacent)
- Tool match (my authoring tools > adjacent > unfamiliar)
- Scope match (full design > LMS build > facilitation only)
- Domain match (my industries > adjacent > new sector)
Step 4: Deliver and schedule
Present the top matches in a table: Title | Company | Scope | Tools | Domain | Salary | Why it fits | Link.
Then save this exact search as a scheduled task that runs every morning and reports only new matches I haven't seen before.
