Contractor Software Engineering

We are looking specifically for instructors with a masters or PhD in a field related to software engineering to lead our Technical Interview Prep (TIP) courses as we build further partnerships between CodePath and various universities across the country. These are synchronous remote classes across 1 academic semester in the Spring which cover the key concepts and strategies students need to know to ace technical interviews and land a full-time position or internship as a software engineer or related tech role. We offer both an Introductory Technical Interview Prep (TIP 101) class and an Intermediate Technical Interview Prep (TIP 102) class.

To be successful in this role, you should be a dynamic, inspiring technical expert with a desire to create inclusive educational spaces and a passion for empowering students, particularly those who identify with underrepresented groups in tech.
