Job description
Leland is building the home for ambition in the age of AI. We connect people with the experts, programs, and communities they need to land the job, get into the school, or upskill for a world being rewritten by AI. We help businesses become AI-native through training, hiring, and infrastructure. Since our founding in 2021, we've helped tens of thousands of people reach their most ambitious goals and raised $19M from world-class investors. Ambition is sacred to us, and we've built a product that takes that seriously.
We're seeking an experienced Database Design & Development Coach to work with clients looking to break into or grow within database design and development roles. This role includes teaching core database design, database development, and data modeling skills, as well as helping clients strengthen database optimization and data management practices. Coaches also guide clients on applying emerging tools like AI fundamentals and AI automation to their database work. On the career side, coaches offer resume review, LinkedIn review, and cover letter guidance, along with behavioral and technical interview prep tailored to database roles, plus networking strategy, salary negotiation, promotion strategy, broader skill building, and support for those pursuing freelancing opportunities. Ideal candidates have hands-on experience in database design or development (as a database engineer, administrator, or industry professional), a strong track record of building efficient and reliable data systems, and a clear, structured approach to coaching clients through both technical and career growth. Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every client.
