Overview of the role

If you enjoy mentoring and managing people as much as you enjoy programming, this is the role for you. Key aspects of the role include: content and curriculum development, iteration and B2B instruction. The role will ensure that the technical subject matter, delivery methods, and instruction of our courses meet the overall company vision and serve our customers. 

The best part about being a B2B full stack software engineer instructor at Momentum is being in an environment of constant growth. We will challenge you to learn as much as your students do. We keep abreast of current technologies and continually revise our curriculum to improve our teaching techniques.

A B2B full stack software engineer instructor at Momentum is able to convey technical knowledge clearly, defining terms and speaking in language that developers at all levels can easily understand. Instructors are responsible for explaining programming concepts without resorting to jargon. In this role, instructors have the privilege of guiding each student through their learning path, meaning they are there for the “ah-ha” moments and to mentor through moments of inevitable frustration. Momentum instructors are encouraging, welcoming, and patient.
