About the job
We are looking for an enthusiastic programmer with great interpersonal skills and a knack for explaining complex technical topics. Alternatively, you may already be an experienced software trainer with previous industry experience. As an iO Academy trainer, your role will be focused on delivering our 16 week coding course to aspiring software developers, acting as a coach, a mentor and a trainer for the students while they learn from you to start their new careers. You will also work with existing trainers to develop the curriculum, assess student applications, run events such as programming workshops for schools and help with the academy’s operations.
In addition to the 16 week course, you will deliver both bespoke and pre-designed workshops for companies across the UK. At this time we are especially interested in applicants with Ruby, AWS, Docker and Kubernetes experience but this is not essential.
About you as a Software Developer Trainer
You will have commercial software development experience, having worked on real projects, ideally within an Agile team. You will have helped support your team with difficult problems and enjoy helping junior developers to grow. You will have experience in an OOP language, ideally PHP or Ruby and Ruby on Rails. You will be comfortable programming for the web, working with current industry standard technologies across the stack. You will have worked with CI/CD pipelines, be comfortable writing a range of automated tests and be familiar with SQL databases.
You will have experience with all the usual development methodologies such as Agile, working with Git, pair programming and code review.
Most importantly you will be a friendly, motivated team player who wants to help people to reach their potential. iO Academy is all about changing lives. We are a fun, collaborative team with a passion for learning and passing on our knowledge.
