We’re looking for one or more teaching assistants to help us grow DeltaV in Cedar Rapids, Mount Pleasant, Davenport, and Mason City. You’ll be responsible for:

· Assisting in the administration of the program (grading, admissions, etc.)

This role is ideal for a recent or current college graduate or early career developer with a strong computer science background, and ideally with some formal or informal teaching experience. This is a hands-on role: you’ll get down and dirty with the code, working with the students on a daily basis to help them work through challenges and push them to get a strong understanding of modern software development practices.

· Assist with instruction according to the guidelines and rules set forth in the Instructor Handbook

· Attend community tech events on occasion

· Contribute content for our blog on occasion

Skills & Qualifications

· 2+ years professional software development experience and/or 2+ years of Computer Science classroom experience with several years of non-professional code experience. In either case, you’d better have a solid demonstration of your work in a Github repo. You need to be sufficiently nerdy to grow the curriculum at DeltaV!

· Strong interpersonal skills and communication skills. You need to balance your nerdiness with an approachable, patient, focused demeanor.

· Highly organized individual able to keep multiple projects and tasks on track at once.

· Consistently interested in the consumption of new technologies and incorporating these into existing curriculum.

Some details you should know:

· This is a part-time hourly role.

· You’ll be required to pass a background check as a part of the onboarding process.

· Classes are "in person" in Cedar Rapids and live-streamed to students in Mason City, Mount Pleasant, and Davenport where we are looking for local TAs to help those students in person.

If you are interested, apply with:

· a resume

· some cool projects you’ve worked on (ideally, URLs of public applications if possible. Tell us your role in those projects)

· examples of instructional materials you’ve created/used
