Software Engineering Coach: Flexible (Python, Java + More)

Important Note

If you have expertise in technologies that we currently have enough coaches for, we may ask you for permission to keep your details and reach out when we are more confident of demand in those areas.

Role Summary

We’re looking for experienced lead engineers or equivalent to lead targeted micro-workshops for small groups of software engineers. The sessions last up to 90 minutes, take place remotely via our app, and are based around high quality teaching material that we produce.

Your job is to bring expertise and enthusiasm for software engineering and ensure our learners leave with a deep understanding of the topic (understanding why, not just knowing what or how), and the ability to apply new skills.

You can expect to be teaching senior as well as junior engineers, answering interesting questions tangential to our material, and live-debugging their code. For this reason, we’ve found that the skill profile required is more similar to pairing or technical mentoring than it is to typical classroom teaching.
