We are looking for instructors:

Our User Experience Design Bootcamp course is a life-changing educational experience where our students learn the skills and mindsets to take on new careers as designers. We are looking for a lead instructor with cross-functional experience to play a key role on our growing instructional team.

Although fully remote, this role is based in Australia and you must be eligible to work in Australia.

Why teach our User Experience Design Bootcamp?

If you are looking to make a life-changing impact by sharing your love for user experience with the next generation of designers, we’d love for you to consider joining our team. We deliver more than just skills training, and are looking for teachers who share our vision for a community of lifelong learners pursuing work that they love. As a teacher, you will join us to:

• Work closely with one or more co-instructors to guide students through a rigorous, transformational journey.

• Facilitate a safe, supportive, and energetic community that welcomes the various needs and learning styles of your students.

What do we teach?

Through a combination of self-paced lessons, deeper instructor-led workshops and unit projects, we teach our students how to approach problems with creative and technical acumen in order to land a UX job and design the next generation of successful apps, websites, and digital products.

The first unit covers rapid prototyping, design iteration, and usability testing. Unit 2 focuses on user interfaces and visual design fundamentals. The second half of the course builds on these foundational concepts and gives students the chance to work in groups and learn about being part of a product team to understand and address business and client needs.
