Job Description

The Pain You’re Going to Solve

  • Our students don’t just need “lessons”; they need a realistic, job-ready coding journey. Too often, online courses are just slides or videos with no real practice, leaving learners stuck in “tutorial hell.”
     
  • Our current content and portal don’t always deliver a seamless flow. Students get confused, lose motivation, or fail to see how their learning connects to real jobs.
     
  • Updating and scaling curriculum is hard: materials aren’t modular, coding projects lack consistency, and instructors spend too much time troubleshooting basics instead of focusing on higher-level skills.
     

What You’ll Be Asked to Do

  • Be the product owner of our learning experience: treat the curriculum + portal like a product. Plan, prioritize, and ship improvements to the way students learn.
     
  • Build and maintain job-ready curriculum: bootcamps, short courses, projects, and assessments that are relevant, practical, and up to date.
     
  • Code and teach: you don’t need to be a senior engineer, but you must understand full-stack fundamentals (frontend, backend, databases, APIs) and be able to guide students through coding challenges, debug issues, and design real-world projects.
     
  • Design interactive learning: quizzes, challenges, code-along tasks, and projects with clear checkpoints. Integrate AI feedback and adaptive guidance to reduce “stuck points.”
     
  • Use feedback and data: track where learners drop off, struggle, or excel, then redesign content and platform features to improve outcomes.
     
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: work with engineers (on platform features), instructors (on teaching quality), and industry partners (to align content with job skills).
     

What Success Looks Like

  • Students consistently report: “The platform feels practical, motivating, and job-ready.”
     
  • Completion and placement rates improve, with fewer drop-offs and stronger portfolios.
     
  • Our learning portal evolves into a hands-on, project-based system that teaches by doing — not passive slides.
     
  • AI feedback reduces repetitive instructor workload and gives learners instant, useful guidance.
     
  • New courses can be rolled out quickly, because content is modular and easy to update.
     

You’ll Thrive in This Role If You…

  • Can actually code — you know enough to build, debug, and guide others through full-stack projects.
     
  • Love thinking about learning design: how to move a beginner from zero → job-ready with minimal confusion.
     
  • Think like a product manager: you don’t just “make content,” you own the whole student journey, iterate, and measure success.
     
  • Believe learning to code should be project-driven, feedback-rich, and industry-aligned.
     
  • Enjoy balancing teaching, curriculum design, and product thinking — wearing multiple hats excites you.
     

Don’t Apply If You…

  • Can’t code or aren’t comfortable teaching coding fundamentals (HTML/CSS/JS, APIs, basic backend, databases).
     
  • Prefer theory and slides over hands-on projects and debugging.
     
  • Want rigid instructions handed down — this role requires ownership, creativity, and iteration.
     
  • Think once curriculum is “done,” it never needs updating.
     
  • Dislike talking to students, gathering feedback, or adjusting based on learner struggles.
     
  • See yourself only as a “teacher” or only as a “PM” — this is both.
     

Job Requirements

 

  • Technical skills:
    • Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and at least one modern frontend framework (React, Vue, or similar).
       
    • Solid understanding of backend fundamentals (Node.js/Express or similar) and working with APIs/databases.
       
    • Ability to build, debug, and explain full-stack projects at a junior-to-mid developer level.
       
  • Product mindset: experience in curriculum design, product management, or edtech is a plus. You must be comfortable prioritizing, iterating, and measuring results.
     
  • Teaching ability: clear communicator who can break down technical concepts into simple steps, guide learners through challenges, and create structured, motivating content.
     
  • Learning design: familiarity with project-based learning, assessments, and feedback systems.
     
  • AI & tools: open to integrating AI tools for feedback, personalization, and efficiency.
     
  • Soft skills: organized, empathetic, data-driven, and willing to adapt quickly.
     
  • Experience: at least 1–3 years in software development, teaching, or product/curriculum roles (any mix of the three).

We started Sigma School because we believe that the current education system is broken.

There is a massive, growing tech talent-skill mismatch in the world right now and almost ALL educators are not held accountable to help their students secure jobs. They simply have no...
