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. About Skiller Whale: we change what tech teams are capable of through live sessions led by subject‑matter experts. Developers attend a 60‑90 minute session every week or two, learning something new through challenging exercises with an expert leading the session to explain the topic and answer difficult questions. Learners love us (average rating of 4.8/5) and we have a measurable impact on the teams we work with. Our learners say: "The real‑time feedback loop of learning something, putting it into practice and getting insight beyond ‘it works’ beats any other learning experience I've had by miles.""I loved that I could ask any questions at all, and learned new things even in a technology I've been using for 15 years!""The biggest pro of Skiller Whale is the quality of the coaches. I really appreciate the deep knowledge they had both on the internals of Python, and how to architect systems."

Advanced PostgreSQL React Native Leadership, Communication and Management (in the context of software teams)

Right now we're prioritising coaches who are expert in PostgreSQL, React Native, or Leadership, Communication and Management (in the context of software teams). We’d love for you to apply if you enjoy building the skills and understanding of others, and have expertise in the curriculum we provide. If you are an expert in two or more of the following areas, we'll still consider you as a coach, although it may be longer before you are allocated a group:

Common languages/frameworks (e.g. Go, React, Kotlin, Java, etc.) Platforms, Tools and/or Databases (e.g. AWS, Docker, PostgreSQL) Test‑Driven Development REST API Design Leadership, Communication and Management (in the context of software teams)

You’ll need to be able to give nuanced answers to difficult questions, give relevant examples from your experience with a topic, and explain advanced concepts clearly and succinctly. You should come across as an expert, be able to expand beyond the provided material when appropriate, deliver clear and concise explanations in spoken English, and adapt your explanation style to match the level of your audience. You should be comfortable looking at code, quickly understanding how it works (or why it doesn’t), and identifying bugs or potential improvements under time pressure (e.g. live in a session). Extensive real‑world experience and experience teaching or mentoring groups of software engineers, or mentoring other developers, are highly desirable.

Rate: £100 per hour (plus paid £50 for preparation for each new module taught) Very flexible work – we will aim to schedule sessions that fit your availability, and you have no ongoing commitment. Fully remote, forever. Have a real impact on learners. Our sessions actually make people better at their jobs. Teaching is fun!
