[Remote] AI Systems Engineering Instructor
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. TripleTen is building an international platform of digital re-skilling products to help people learn new professions in tech. They are seeking an AI Systems Engineering Instructor to host live sessions, review student work, and provide architectural feedback to experienced engineers transitioning to system architecture roles.
Responsibilities
- Host weekly live sessions across the program, focused on the design and decision layer: where to split services, how systems scale and fail, which tradeoff to make and why
- Run group office hours and 1:1 sessions for students working through projects and the capstone
- Review student projects against rubrics: the architecture dossiers, deployed backends, cloud infrastructure, performance reports, security reviews, and the final distributed-system capstone
- Give architectural feedback, not just pass/fail checks. Catch when a design decision is unsound, an interface is wrong, or a scope is unrealistic, and explain the better path
- Run the mock architecture review boards and the simulated executive-panel presentations, and give structured, senior-level critique
- Set the technical standard for a team of supporting instructors who cover questions and first-line review, and act as their escalation point on design and architecture calls
Skills
- 5+ years as a senior software/systems architect, platform engineer, or senior backend/infrastructure engineer
- Has designed and shipped systems at scale in a real company, not just coursework or side projects
- Depth across the architectural spine: system design, API and service architecture, cloud and infrastructure (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD), and distributed systems
- Can explain why a decision was made, not just how it was implemented, and can diagnose and critique someone else's architecture live
- Strong technical communication: comfortable leading a live session and writing clear, specific review feedback
- Strong English C1+ — instruction and review are in English for a US-based audience
- Comfortable using AI tools in day-to-day technical work
Benefits
- Milestone-based payments tied to deliverables
- Fully remote work with flexible hours
- A digital office — we use modern tools (Notion, Miro, Slack, Figma) to keep collaboration smooth
- Professional trust and autonomy — no micromanaging
- The chance to see real impact: our metric is graduates landing jobs in tech
- Join a diverse, international, and close-knit team excited to work with you
