Teaching Engineer (Java) - remote

Onramp apprenticeships are unique because we provide all apprentices with four weeks of in-depth, project-based training using the Client’s engineering tools and technology stack. This is where you come in. 

As our Teaching Engineer, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring we send amazing apprentices to our Clients. You’ll guide the apprentices through one month of remote, project-based training. The apprentices work collaboratively to build a product utilizing the technologies and tools from their sponsoring companies to simulate a real-world working environment. 

As our Fullstack Teaching Engineer, you will lead learning experiences for one cohort of 4 fullstack apprentices preparing to work at our client company. 

Apprentices may work from any part of the United States, but will be required to be available (at a minimum) during core Pacific Time hours of 9:00 am -  2:00 pm PT (excluding meal and rest breaks). We expect a teaching engineer to also be available for five of these core hours per day doing a mix of standups, workshops, and group, pair, and one-on-one support sessions as needed. You will be in charge of setting your exact working hours as long as they fall within this timeframe.
