Instructor for AI-Assisted Programming Workshops (part-time)
About The Position
We're building an online course for experienced software developers on the practical use of Cursor and other AI tools in professional programming workflows. As the Instructor, you will lead interactive live sessions that go beyond passive learning — empowering engineers to apply AI tools critically and effectively in real-world contexts. Your audience will be B2B clients: skilled software developers from various industries and tech stacks working in fast-paced environments, looking to improve productivity, code quality, and development speed through AI. You'll collaborate with the course team to design, facilitate, and iterate on expert-led live sessions delivered over several weeks.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of professional software development experience in backend or full-stack roles;
- Daily, hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar platforms (we're looking for power users who have deeply integrated these tools into their workflow, not occasional experimenters);
- Understanding of how AI coding tools work under the hood - ability to explain;
- Solid knowledge of system design, testing strategies, and developer tooling;
- Familiarity with command line tools, browser DevTools, and modern development workflows;
- Ability to break down complex technical concepts into clear, actionable, and engaging formats - including explaining the "why" and "how" behind AI tool effectiveness, not just surface-level features;;
- Excellent spoken English and clear technical communication;
- Experience in live facilitation: ability to prompt discussions, handle Q&A sessions, and adapt in real-time;
- Strong presentation skills and confidence in leading interactive workshops;
- Collaborative and audience-oriented mindset.
- Background in developer advocacy, tech leadership, conference speaking, or technical mentoring;
- Experience teaching, coaching, or training senior developers or engineering teams is highly valued;
- Strong time management and preparation habits;
- Availability of at least 10-15 hours per week to dedicate to your students.
Nice To Haves
- Knowledge of emerging AI development practices (e.g., MCP - Model Context Protocol, advanced agentic workflows).
- Experience with remote collaboration tools (Zoom, Miro, Slack, VSCode Live Share, etc.);
- Russian language skills (some of our students speak Russian);
- Active participation in developer communities or open-source projects;
- Experience working with diverse tech stacks and programming languages.
Responsibilities
- Conduct interactive live training sessions on AI-assisted coding (topics include prompting, code generation, debugging with AI, and productivity workflows);
- Prepare workshop scenarios and training materials in collaboration with our Instructional Designer;
- Communicate with students during Q&A sessions and provide guidance;
- Review and incorporate feedback from learners to continuously improve session design;
- Contribute reusable materials (code snippets, prompt libraries, challenge tasks, best practice guides).
Benefits
- Remote, hourly collaboration
- Free in-house training on how to be a great tutor and role model for students, choose the appropriate tone of voice when communicating with students, improve soft skills
- Opportunities to develop as a public expert
- Cross-cultural work experience and lots of opportunities for networking with teammates who love what they do
