Full job description
Description 🤓 TripleTen is an EdTech company that designs and runs tech career learning programs for the US and Latin American markets. We've been doing it for over five years, teaching complete beginners — people with no prior tech background — through cohort-based programs built on our own platform and curriculum, developed in partnership with Nebius AI. Our team is fully remote and globally distributed, and we serve a large, active student base across both regions.
We're looking for the person who brings a Forward Deployed Engineering curriculum to life for students: you would be part of a team of senior authors who help create the content for the course. The best person for this is someone who has actually gone into client environments and carried AI deployments to production, has opinions about what a sound deployment looks like, and can tell an experienced engineer why their approach is wrong.
Your audience: Working production engineers, not career changers, with six to fifteen years in, mostly backend, with senior and staff engineers and the occasional engineering manager. They've shipped real software for years and are moving deliberately into forward-deployed AI work; some are already interviewing for FDE roles while they study. What they're missing is agentic systems and the client-facing half of delivery.
Format: asynchronous, estimated 20 hrs/week.
Please submit all resumes or CVs in English.
What you will do
- Design and build the projects students work on end to end — scope, learning goals, technical infrastructure, environments, and supporting databases or datasets.
- Write clear submission guidelines and assessment criteria (rubrics) that reviewers can apply consistently.
- Work closely with Learning Experience Designers to make projects and lessons educationally sound and engaging: refining wording, pacing, and difficulty calibration across the course.
- Research, evaluate, and sign off on technical solutions and tooling so the curriculum stays current and relevant to what employers actually use.
- Contribute to sales and marketing enablement — training commercial teams on what the course covers and what graduates can do.
Requirements
- 7+ years of professional engineering experience, currently working at senior level or above (Senior/Lead/Staff Engineer, Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Architect, or technical lead on customer-facing delivery).
- Has personally owned deployments end-to-end in real client or enterprise environments – first call through production go-live and adoption.
- Practical experience with databases and the infrastructure needed to run student projects (cloud environments, containers, version control, CI where relevant).
- Ability to break complex technical work into scoped, assessable tasks at a defined difficulty level.
- Strong written communication in English — you'll produce a lot of instructional text and it needs to be unambiguous.
- Comfort collaborating cross-functionally with instructional design, and explaining technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience mentoring, teaching, tutoring, or reviewing others' code.
Preferred experience:
- Prior EdTech or rubric/assessment design experience.
What we can offer you
- Fully remote work.
- A digital office: we use modern tools (Notion, Slack, Zoom) to keep collaboration smooth.
- Professional trust and autonomy: no micromanaging.
- A diverse, international, close-knit team excited to work with you!
