This program takes people from complete beginner to genuinely capable AI practitioners, and it works because the instruction is exceptional. We need someone who can make that happen.
This is a contractor role to start, with a real path to full-time conversion as the program scales. You will lead live cohort sessions, collaborate directly with our curriculum team, and play a meaningful role in how the program evolves over time.
This role is right for someone who loves to teach, has done it at scale, and is genuinely excited about AI. You don't need to be a deep technical expert. You do need to be curious, fast-learning, and the kind of instructor who turns a room of skeptics into believers.
We're building something significant here. If you want to be part of defining what world-class AI education looks like, we'd love to talk.
