Django/Python Mentor: Help Our Students Learn Test Driven Web Development at Thinkful

The Job

We’re growing our mentor team. Our mentors works with highly motivated beginners as they learn test-driven web development using Python, Django, and Flask. In addition to having the skills and experience of a backend developer, you must also love what you do – your most important responsibility will be to inspire in your students a passion for software development. Thinkful mentors may work remotely or from our office, and we are currently hiring for part-time positions.

Skills & Requirements

Above all, we seek out people who have a passion for coding and for transmitting that knowledge to others.  Here are some more specific skills we're looking for:

• Mastery of Python and Django. Experience with Flask is a big plus.
• Understanding and implementation of test-driven development (if you have experience with the Nose framework, all the better).
• Ability to empathize with and clearly communicate technical concepts and practices to beginners.
• Be able to point to one or more projects of reasonable complexity. Comfortable walking through code you haven’t seen before to figure out what’s going on, identifying areas for improvement.
• Experience with project management and/or overseeing junior developers would be a big plus. Experience teaching programming an even bigger plus.

About the Company:

Thinkful trains people in technical skills for the future of work. We combine expert mentorship with a project-based curriculum to help people efficiently learn critical skills. In an economy that demands technical expertise, we believe that outcomes-driven education is a necessary part of everyone’s lives. Join us, and have a voice in the future of education!
