Code Ninjas is a leading kids' coding franchise where children ages 5–14 learn coding, technology, and problem-solving by building projects and games they enjoy.

We're looking for a patient, energetic, and technology-minded individual who enjoys working with kids. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent college graduate or early-career professional interested in technology, education, mentoring, or leadership.

• Coach and mentor children ages 5–14 using the Code Ninjas curriculum
• Help students develop problem-solving, logic, and critical-thinking skills
• Guide students toward solutions rather than simply giving them answers
• Lead after-school coding programs at local elementary schools
• Create a fun, positive, and safe learning environment
• Communicate with parents and build relationships with students and school staff
• Assist with camps, workshops, and special events
• Represent Code Ninjas professionally in the community

• Patient, encouraging, and genuinely enjoys working with children
• Strong communication and group leadership skills
• Dependable, energetic, positive, and adaptable
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
• Interested in technology, coding, gaming, engineering, or STEM
• Teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, or childcare experience is a plus

• JavaScript and C# are the primary programming languages used in our curriculum, so basic experience with either language is highly recommended.
  
  Experience with the UNITY development environment is also preferred.
• Training will be provided on our proprietary curriculum, including how to teach JavaScript and C# within our program.
• Experience with any of the following is a plus:
• Scratch, Lua, Python, Minecraft, Roblox Studio, game development, or other coding/technology platforms. Teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, childcare, camp counseling, or working with children is also a plus.

This is a full-time, on-site position with a combination of in-center coaching and off-site school programs.

• Work regular after-school center hours, coaching students ages 5–14
• Support camps, workshops, special events, and other center activities
• Help create a fun, welcoming, and safe learning environment for students

• Travel to nearby elementary schools to lead on-site after-school coding programs
• Teach and coach students using the Code Ninjas curriculum
• Lead engaging coding projects and activities that help students build programming, logic, and problem-solving skills
• Build positive relationships with students, school staff, and families
• Represent Code Ninjas professionally in the local school community

Additional hours may include:

• Summer, spring, winter, and school-break camps
• Special workshops and events
• Community outreach and Code Ninjas events

Typical work hours: Primarily weekday afternoons/evenings, with some Saturday and school-break/camp hours depending on program schedules.

Because this role includes both center-based and school-based programs,
schedule flexibility and reliable transportation are important. The position requires the ability to work at our El Segundo center and travel to local elementary school partner locations.

Candidates must live within a reasonable commuting distance and have reliable transportation to the center and local school sites.
