Careers

Data Engineering Boot Camp Instructor

Location: Wilmington, DE 

Employment Type: Full-Time

This is a unique position for an experienced Data Scientist or Data Engineer to teach up-and-coming students for positions in data engineering and analysis. Zip Code’s instructors are the center of the student experience, training students to enter the workforce as junior data engineers at prestigious corporations. Our instructors, with support from the rest of the team, must prepare our students for real-world work as data engineers.

Desired Background, Skills & Experience:

• A gift for teaching. Perhaps you have taught others how to code, perform data engineering tasks, mentored junior members on your team, or have formal experience as a teacher.
• Ability to lead junior data engineers on tasks pertinent to their success in the workplace.
• A wealth of real-world industry experience and technical expertise that you are eager to share.
• 3+ years of professional data engineering, data analytics or data science experience (Python, numpy, R, Apache Hadoop/Spark/Airflow, SQL, Databases, Data Dashboards).
• You are comfortable leading fluid discussions. This occasionally means going off the lecture track to give dynamic, real-world examples and explore new metaphors on request.
• You can emphasize, and demonstrate, the meta-skills and core concepts of professional data engineering. Zip Code courses are not intended to replace a college degree, but students should be aware of important concepts: enough to compete with those who have degrees for junior-level data engineering positions.
• You have high empathy and patience and an ability to encourage students who are struggling.
• Ability to provide additional challenges to students who are excelling, and provide and encourage open and honest communication.
• Ability to offer valuable career guidance to our graduates entering the data engineering field, helping promote optimal chances for success.

Essential Duties/Responsibilities:

• Delivering instruction
• Monitoring student comprehension
• Providing real-world implementation examples to reinforce learning objectives
• Performing code/pipeline reviews and providing instructional feedback to students in line with appropriate standards
• Other responsibilities required to create an overall outstanding student experience in the classroom.

You will be joining a team of people with deep experience in changing people’s career paths and training them for IT professions. If you’d like to join our team, please submit a cover letter, resume, and salary requirements to info@zipcodewilmington.com.
