LONDON, UK – full-time, permanent, on-site.
Makers Academy is a highly selective, full time, 12 week course in web development. We teach how to think like a programmer and write beautiful code using Ruby, JS, HTML&amp;CSS, etc. as well as agile, TDD and other best practices.
We are a well funded startup with great backers and solid traction. We're growing, so we're looking for more people to help us teach.
At the moment we're hiring a teaching assistant to assist our team of teachers. Your job will be to help our students with practical aspects of web development if our teachers are all busy. Our students spend 90% of time coding and when they hit a block, someone from our team sits down with them to pair. You will also be expected to help the teachers with curriculum development and building internal software but you'll spend most of the time pairing with students.
You are expected to have a CS degree or be a self-taught dev with 1-2 years of experience. You're familiar with Ruby, Rails, Sinatra, JS, HTML, CSS, TDD and OOP.
Our teachers are very experienced guys, great to learn from:
