Job description
At Mimo, we believe that coding can open doors to careers and opportunities like few other skills. That’s why we’ve rallied around the common goal of making coding universally accessible.
With the launch of cohort-based programs, we’re well on our way toward becoming the world’s largest global tech school. To help millions more learn to code and eventually become developers, we’re now looking for Coding Instructor to join our 9-person Instructors team.
What you’ll be doing
- You’ll lead two cohorts of up to 20 students each in our 6-month program, constantly preparing and holding live sessions and individual 1:1s with students.
- You’ll put our students first and create individualized learning plans based on our curriculum for every student.
- You’ll review code, prepare course material, give feedback on assignments, and answer open questions, keeping them engaged along their learning journey.
Requirements
You’ll thrive in this role if
- You’re a developer’s advocate. You enjoy passing on your coding experience to others and sparking their curiosity in learning how to code.
- You’re fluent in front-end development. You feel at home in the JavaScript world and have familiarity with modern frontend frameworks like React. Plus, you’re a crackerjack in HTML and CSS.
- You’re an avid learner yourself. You always seek to improve through student and team feedback and data insights. You’re comfortable sharing and receiving meaningful feedback.
- You’re a strong communicator. You enjoy speaking in front of an audience and intuitively engage students in an upbeat way.
- You genuinely care about our students. You’re ready to go the extra mile for our students, support them on every step of their journey and make them believe in their developer career path.
- You’re a patient teacher. You know that students start at different places and learn at their paces. You enjoy adapting your explanations to them and effectively scaffolding their learning plans to help them succeed.
- You’re a remote-work advocate. You value asynchronous, written communication and express yourself concisely.
How we work

- If you’re located outside this time zone range and want to move to the company’s official headquarters in Austria, we’ll handle the work permit process and cover travel expenses.
- If you prefer to work outside your home, we offer a physical location in Vienna and co-working stipends in other cities.
- We love working async, so you get to set your schedule.

- To give our menstruating team members the time off to cater to their health when needed during their menstrual cycle, we offer up to 2 days of paid menstrual leave per month.
- Spend quality time with the next generation with our global paid birth and parental leave.
- Your annual salary will range from $51k to $64k gross annually. Your salary will automatically increase by 5% yearly, no questions asked.
