[Hiring] Lead Instructor: Agentic AI Engineering @General Assembly

Role Description

As the Lead Instructor, you will lead the charge in teaching students how to design and build sophisticated multi-agent systems. This is a high-impact, 2-week "sprint" where you will be the primary technical guide for a cohort of professionals entering the world of autonomous AI orchestration.

What You’ll Do

• Lead Live Technical Instruction: Deliver synchronous remote lectures and "build-along" sessions focused on designing agentic systems within Azure AI Foundry, Copilot Studio, and Semantic Kernel.
• Facilitate Complex Labs: Guide students through hands-on exercises involving agent design patterns, multi-agent orchestration, and API integration.
• Code Mentorship: Provide real-time troubleshooting and debugging support in Python as students build out their labs and capstone projects.
• Translate Architecture: Break down complex systems-thinking and architecture concepts—such as memory management and planning in LLMs—into actionable steps for non-engineering professionals.
• Office Hours & Feedback: Hold dedicated sessions to review student builds, ensuring their agentic systems are robust, scalable, and technically sound.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in software engineering, with at least 2+ years of hands-on experience building and deploying agentic AI systems in a production environment.
• Deep proficiency in Azure AI Foundry, Copilot Studio, and Semantic Kernel. (Experience with LangChain or LangGraph is highly valued as an adjacent skill set).
• Expert-level Python proficiency, API design, and advanced prompt engineering.
• Proven experience teaching technical topics or leading engineering teams.
• AZ-900 and AI-900 are required; AI-102 is strongly preferred.

Requirements

• Must be available for 30 hours per week during West Coast (Pacific Time) business hours.
• Experience as an AI Engineer or Azure Solution Architect at Microsoft, Google, or a similar Tier-1 tech firm is a major plus.

Benefits

• Compensation: $15,500 flat fee for the project.
• Remote position with flexibility to work from approved General Assembly operating countries.
