Job Description
At TripleTen, we are revolutionizing the way digital re-skilling is delivered, empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds to acquire new career opportunities in the tech sector. Our mission is to equip learners with the skills necessary to succeed in high-demand roles such as system architect, ensuring they have the foundational knowledge and practical experience to pursue their desired careers.
In this role, we are seeking a senior technical presence who can bridge the gap between theory and practice. Our program graduates have secured job placements at top companies like Tesla, Spotify, PlayStation, Google, and Microsoft, indicating a high level of effectiveness in preparing students for real-world challenges.
The program is designed for experienced engineers transitioning into system architecture roles. Students will need to work through projects and the capstone to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the material. They will be mentored by a team of senior authors, and the technical standards will be set by a team of instructors who will also support and escalate design and architecture calls.
This is a teaching and review role. You will be the senior technical presence that your students learn from week to week. You will host live sessions, run office hours, give architectural feedback, and act as the escalation point for a team of supporting instructors. The best person for this role must have designed and shipped systems at scale, have an understanding of what good architecture looks like, and be able to explain why their design is wrong, not just whether it runs.
Your audience is experienced engineers leveling up to system architecture roles. Many are already writing production code daily, so they will spot shallow feedback immediately. The bar is high, but it is not familiarity that is sought after, rather seniority.
Format: Async-first with scheduled live sessions. Live sessions and office hours are timed around a US-based cohort. Estimated 15 to 25 hours/week.
Please submit all resumes or CV's in English.
What You Will Do
- Host weekly live sessions focused on the design and decision layer, including where to split services, how systems scale and fail, which tradeoffs 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: 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
Requirements
- 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
What We Can Offer You
- 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,
