Kids Coding Instructor 'Sensei'

Responsive RecruiterCode Ninjas is the nation's fastest-growing kids coding franchise. In our center, kids ages 5–14 learn to code the way engineers actually learn: by building, breaking, debugging, and shipping video games they love. Kids can't wait to come back. Parents see the real upside — confidence, logic, math, problem-solving — as students progress from white belt to black belt. Our core promise is simple:Kids have fun. Parents see results.(Yes, it's on the walls. We mean it.)The MissionWe're looking for a Sensei who brings builder energy into the dojo every day. You're not just "watching kids." You're coaching young engineers through real creative problem-solving — helping them turn ideas into working games, stuck moments into breakthroughs, and "I can't" into "watch this."
