THE ROLE

About the Role

This is an Individual Contributor (IC) curriculum development and technical advisory role supporting a Global Tech training team. The training you'll support is built for software engineers — full-stack, front-end, and back-end developers — so you need to be one of them. We're looking for a Technical Curriculum Developer with a real software engineering background and deep AI expertise, who can review AI programming content the way the target audience will actually consume it, catch what's missing or wrong, and improve how that content gets built.

You'll serve as the deep-expertise anchor for our client's AI programming curriculum. You won't be building courses end-to-end so much as making them  right — evaluating curricula for technical accuracy from a working developer's perspective, filling content gaps, surfacing the real-world context that turns generic AI material into training engineers trust, and implementing better processes to speed up the design and development phases.

You'll embed with engineering teams and partner directly with platform owners, architects, developer advocates, L&D team members, and technical writers — lending the technical judgment they need and translating complex AI concepts into something engineers can learn and apply. If you also bring AI learning-enablement experience, that's a significant bonus.

What You'll Do

• 
  
• 
  

  Review Content as a Developer: Evaluate AI programming curricula for technical accuracy, depth, and relevance — from the perspective of the full-stack, front-end, and back-end engineers the training is built for. Act as the trusted technical voice ensuring content reflects how AI systems and real engineering work actually fit together.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Find the Gaps: Use your software engineering background to spot what's missing, outdated, oversimplified, or misleading — the gaps a non-engineer reviewer would miss — and flag or close them.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Fill Content Gaps: When a missing or thin area is identified, develop the technical content to close it — written guides, video tutorials, hands-on labs, technical demos, code examples, and reference material — grounded in real engineering use and delivered for both self-paced and instructor-led formats.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Improve How Content Gets Built: Identify and implement new processes, tooling, and AI-assisted workflows to speed up the design and development phases and raise the quality bar across the team.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Iterate on Feedback: Review feedback from learners, SMEs, and engineering partners, then take the steps to correct errors, improve clarity, and keep content quality high as platforms and tools change.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Provide Context & Intuition: Help the training team understand and surface the underlying context, edge cases, and practitioner intuition that should be embedded in training but is easy to miss without deep hands-on experience.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Translate Complexity: Make sophisticated AI/ML concepts accessible to a technical audience without oversimplifying or losing rigor.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Embed with Engineering Teams: Act as an early tester and end-user by embedding within engineering teams. Collaborate directly with platform owners and architects to understand new technologies from the developer's perspective, then carry that understanding into the training.

  
  
  
• 
  

  Collaborate Across Teams: Work alongside developer advocates, L&D team members, and technical writers to develop and implement a holistic curriculum, keeping it technically sound and current as the field moves.
