Give real engineering feedback on student deployment deliverables
-
Act as the escalation point for a team of supporting instructors who handle first-line questions
Your audience:

-
APIs and integrations (REST, webhooks, JSON/GraphQL), Python, and deployment on at least one major cloud
-

Production experience with agentic frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI) and MCP-based tool integrations into client systems
-
Work experience at a recognizable company
-
Familiarity with online education platforms or running programs
