Job description
Technical Instructor - AI & Developer Products
Location(s): San Francisco, CA
Openings: 3 total – 2 in San Francisco and 1 in New York City
Contract: 12-month W2 contract
Pay: $170-$185/hour depending on experience
Russell Tobin is partnering with a leading AI research and technology company to hire a highly technical instructor to support live, instructor‑led technical onboarding programs.
This role is ideal for someone who is technical first and an educator second – a software engineer, architect, technical product professional, solutions engineer, developer advocate, or similar builder who has hands‑on experience developing software and also excels at teaching technical concepts to others.
You will deliver live technical sessions across multiple learning paths, facilitate hands‑on labs, troubleshoot alongside learners, and create an engaging classroom experience for technical audiences.
Curriculum owners will own the core content. Your responsibility will be to deeply understand the material, prepare and dry‑run sessions, deliver it effectively, and adapt your teaching based on learner needs.
What You’ll Do
Deliver live, in‑person and hybrid technical training across developer, architecture, administration, and related technical learning paths
Teach API, AI, developer‑tooling, and software‑product concepts to technical audiences
Lead hands‑on labs and help learners troubleshoot technical issues in real time
Explain complex engineering concepts in a clear, approachable way without losing technical depth
Partner with curriculum owners and subject‑matter experts to prepare and dry‑run sessions ahead of cohorts
Adapt pacing, explanations, and examples based on learner understanding
Collect learner feedback and identify recurring areas of confusion or friction
Provide actionable feedback to curriculum and program owners
Support live cohort operations and classroom delivery
Deliver training regularly in person in San Francisco
What We’re Looking For
Hands‑on technical experience building software, technical products, APIs, developer tools, or similar solutions
Prior experience as a software engineer, solutions architect, technical product manager, solutions engineer, developer advocate, technical instructor, or comparable technical role
Strong understanding of software‑development concepts and developer workflows
Experience working with APIs, developer tooling, and modern software products
Ability to independently understand and troubleshoot technical labs
Strong developer empathy and an ability to anticipate where technical learners may struggle
Demonstrated experience presenting, teaching, facilitating, or speaking to groups
Exceptional verbal communication and ability to clearly explain both technical solutions and their business or user impact
Comfortable leading a classroom and adjusting delivery in real time
Based on or able to regularly work onsite in San Francisco
Strong Plus
Hands‑on experience with AI, LLMs, agents, or AI developer products
Computer Science or related technical degree
Prior technical training or developer‑education experience
Developer Relations, Developer Advocacy, or technical community experience
University teaching, TA, bootcamp instruction, workshops, conference speaking, or technical presentations
Public examples of technical communication such as conference talks, webinars, podcasts, videos, tutorials, or technical content
Experience teaching engineers, architects, developers, solutions teams, or other highly technical audiences
The Profile
The strongest candidates will be people who have built technology themselves and can also teach it exceptionally well .
You should be equally comfortable explaining why an API call is failing, walking a learner through a hands‑on exercise, and standing in front of a room delivering technical instruction.
