We offer a variety of hands-on STEM education programs, including biweekly, semester-long introductory coding courses.

The role

As a Curriculum Developer with us, you’ll be responsible for designing a new Python-based curriculum for beginner high school students.

You will report directly to the full-time Curriculum Developer.

This is a temporary, part-time hybrid role based in San Francisco, CA. In-person work is required at least once a week, depending on the program schedule. In-person work will include travel to the office and around the Bay Area.

• Create new curriculum units, lessons, and projects aligned with Mission Bit’s values and learning goals
• Incorporate problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration into curriculum design
• Collaborate with other content experts and instructors to ensure effective curriculum delivery

Requirements

We’d love to hear from you if you have…

• Curriculum development experience (in formal education, afterschool programs, or similar)
• Python programming experience
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Self-starting mindset with the ability to work autonomously with little oversight
• Punctuality, organization, and preparation skills
• Values aligned with Mission Bit and a passion for sharing CS knowledge
