Join us in changing people's lives by training them to become world-class Software Engineers. This is not your typical Tech Lead role, as you will mentor and guide learners towards a successful new career and bring your passion and experience in software development to rebuild how education is delivered.

We are looking for a Software Engineer with experience in Machine Learning to teach our learners how to use machine learning to solve problems for customers. You will champion building high-quality products while also having the opportunity to contribute to teaching across all of our courses.

Developers Institute is NZQA accredited and focuses on teaching learners how to build products, making them ready for employment. We currently use tools such as Node.js and Express, React, automated testing and Agile & DevOps practices. We know that there is more to being a Software Engineer than just coding, so we have built a culture where learners operate like they are in a software development team while learning.


What’s involved

Here's a snapshot of what you can expect.

  • Enable meaningful change by helping learners become software engineers
  • Bring new ideas into how machine learning is taught in tertiary education, with a strong focus on preparing our learners for employment
  • Learn and collaborate with peers to design and deliver an innovative curriculum, creating an engaging learning experience;
  • Keep the curriculum up-to-date by learning new technology and following industry trends;
  • Work from home. We take a remote-first approach to all our classes and collaboration.

Requirements

About You

  • You have the drive to inspire our next generation of tech developers with your industry knowledge;
  • Ability to articulate machine learning and software development techniques to new learners;
  • You will have implemented Machine learning and Data Analytics implementations using modern frameworks, languages and tools. You might use tools such as Pandas, SciPy/SciKit, NumPy, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Jupyter Notebooks etc
  • Knowledge or willingness to learn a modern full stack JavaScript stack, including Node.js, React, relational and non-relational databases, API development and automated testing;
  • Knowledge of Agile & DevOps practices
  • Equally important is your ability to create well-rounded team players as a core part of our learning experience;
  • Teaching experience isn’t essential if you’re bringing a passion for sharing knowledge - you’ll be supported by our teaching team and Academic Director;
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or similar areas of study or equivalent work experience.
