Technical Trainer

Employment Type: Full-time

Team: Engineering Excellence & L&D

About the role

Akrivia Automation is building world-class engineering capability. Were hiring hands-on Technical Trainers to design and deliver immersive full-stack programs that turn graduates and lateral hires into production-ready engineers skilled in React, TypeScript, , Express, MongoDB, Redis, and Dockerplus the ecosystem needed to ship secure, observable, CI/CD-driven software.

What you'll do

• Own the curriculum: Design outcome-based syllabi, slide decks, lab manuals, code templates, and rubrics across beginner advanced tracks.
• Deliver training: Run live classes, workshops, code-alongs, and clinics (virtual & on-site). Keep sessions practical, demo-first, and project-centric.
• Build labs & projects: Create capstones that mirror Akrivia's stack (REST/GraphQL APIs, caching, auth, containerized deploys, basic observability).
• Assess & certify: Author quizzes, coding challenges, and performance rubrics; certify learners against clear competency benchmarks.
• Coach 1:1: Unblock learners, review PRs, run pair-programming, and drive professional habits (Git etiquette, clean code, testing discipline).
• Measure outcomes: Track cohort KPIs (graduation rate, project quality, time-to-billable) and iterate the program using data.
• Keep content fresh: Upgrade modules quarterly (framework updates, secure defaults, new patterns, real product incidents translated into lessons).
• Partner with engineering: Align the academy with current product architecture, coding standards, and platform/tooling (repos, CI, IaC).

What you'll teach (scope & learning outcomes)

• Frontend (React + TypeScript): Components, hooks, state (Context/Redux Toolkit), data-fetching (React Query), forms, routing, accessibility, performance, testing (Jest + React Testing Library), basic exposure.
• Backend + Express): API design (REST/GraphQL), auth (JWT/OAuth2), validation, file handling, pagination, rate-limiting, background jobs, WebSockets basics, config management, error handling.
• MongoDB: Schema design, indexes, aggregation, transactions, performance profiling, backups/restore.
• Redis: Caching strategies (write-through/around), TTL/invalidations, pub/sub, simple queues, RedisJSON/Streams (intro).
• Docker & DevOps basics: Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds, Docker Compose for local stacks, image scanning, container security fundamentals.
• CI/CD & Quality: Git workflows, code review norms, lint/format, unit/integration/API testing (Jest, Supertest, Playwright), coverage gates.
• Security & Observability (foundations): OWASP Top 10, secrets handling, ENV management, logging (structured), metrics, tracing intro.
• Cloud deployment (intro): Running containers on a target environment; artifacts, env configs, and release playbooks.

Must-have qualifications

• 5–10 years of hands-on software engineering (recent code in production) with 2+ years teaching, mentoring, or corporate L&D.
• Strong expertise in React + TypeScript and + Express; credible MongoDB and Redis experience.
• Comfort designing containerized labs and explaining CI/CD pipelines end-to-end.
• Proven ability to break down complex topics into clear, incremental lessons with measurable outcomes.
• Excellent communication, patience, and a coaching mindset; can run energetic classrooms and give actionable PR feedback.

Nice-to-have

• , GraphQL, WebSockets at scale.
• NestJS, Prisma/TypeORM, or Mongoose best practices.
• Kubernetes basics, AWS/GCP fundamentals (EKS/GKE, S3/Cloud Storage, IAM).
• Playwright/Cypress, Pact (contract testing), OpenAPI/Swagger authoring.
• Prior bootcamp or university program experience.
