Experience

• Requirements:
  • You must love teaching! If you're on the fence about teaching, read no further.
  • Strong technical skills: Python, TS/JS, using LLMs in data pipelines and applications, Spark, containerization, unit and integration testing, observability & monitoring
    • In other words, at many companies you would fit in as a developer
  • Be one of the following:
    • Former Palantir FDE or technical data strategist (we're looking for a "Delta" or a very strong "Techo")

  • Machine Learning experience
  • Foreign language skills, especially Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish

Additional Skills

• Effective written and oral communication skills
  • You write and speak clearly
  • You can identify what matters for a non-technical user and succinctly explain what they need to know in terms that make sense to them
    • e.g., an executive who needs to make a decision based on your input
  • You proactively communicate about what you’re doing — this is habitual for you
  • You can disagree and navigate conflict respectfully and in a manner that puts the team’s goals first
• High degree of autonomy (i.e., don’t wait for work to come to you)
• You're always learning new things. What was the last new technology you learned?

Travel

This role will require domestic and international travel for in-person trainings and periodic internal company events.

An in-person training typically lasts four days at the customer's office. This role is expected to cover in-person trainings primarily in the broader NYC area, but occasional travel may be required to other places.

Note: until we hire a DC-based instructor, we will need you to travel to DC 1-2x per month
