Duration: August 2025 - December 2025 (training begins early August, precise course dates vary by institutional calendars)

CodePath in Residence Instructors (CiR Instructors) help transform the career trajectory of computer science majors at our partner universities by delivering industry-informed instruction in Intro to Computer Science courses. CiR Instructors teach live, in-person (“in-residence”) and serve as institution-backed instructors during the Fall semester. CiR Instructors also help transform the career trajectory of computer science majors at our Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) and Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI’s) partners.

CiR Instructors receive robust training, onboarding, and ongoing support from the CodePath team alongside faculty mentorship and a collaborative teaching environment at their host university. CiR Instructors teach using CodePath’s industry-aligned curriculum in one or more languages (Python, Java, C++). The program begins with training in late summer 2025, with full on-campus immersion required throughout the Fall term.

CiR Instructors roles are suitable for those already living near their assigned university, or those who are able and willing to self-relocate for the duration of semester. 

CiR Instructors are both classroom leaders and partnership stewards. They foster strong university relationships, inspire student confidence, and cultivate technical excellence. CiR Instructors play a pivotal role in shaping students’ early career journeys, while also influencing department strategies by building trust, surfacing insights, and offering actionable feedback.

We are looking for candidates with 3+ years of Software Engineering experience who are passionate about teaching, eager to immerse themselves in an academic setting, and excited about the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on students’ lives.

To thrive in this role, you should be a dynamic and inspiring technical expert with a commitment to inclusive education, strong classroom leadership skills, and a deep passion for empowering students.

This is a full-time role for the Fall 2025 academic term. Training begins in early August, and the teaching term runs from August through December 2025 (exact dates may vary by institution).
