Web3 Engineering Instructor, WAGMI Bootcamp, Web3 & Society

Role Overview
You are responsible for starting and growing WAGMI Bootcamp, an engineering bootcamp focused on web3.

Your north star is: Can you find lots of amazing/diverse students, teach them crypto engineering, and help them find jobs in web3?

This position is extremely entrepreneurial. We’re looking for a relentlessly resourceful teammate who learns and executes quickly.

If you're interested in leading something new that will maximize your rate-of-learning, please apply!

What You'll Do
You will create, market, teach, and grow the bootcamp from scratch.
Create the full student experience for the WAGMI Bootcamp: curriculum, class time, guest speakers, projects, etc. (leveraging free-to-use educational materials like Buildspace)
Market the bootcamp to find the initial cohort of 25+ students.
Teach the bootcamp and facilitate connections between students, orgs, and mentors.
Grow the bootcamp by providing a transformative experience that fellows can’t help but share. Be relentlessly focused on measuring and improving the student experience and learning outcomes.
In addition you will:

Institute processes to turn the bootcamp into a self-catalyzing community network.
Conduct dozen of customer interviews to understand what both sides of the market need: students and Web3 companies.
Work with excellent existing web3 education projects like Braintrust, Buildspace, OdysseyDAO and D&I education projects like She256, SheFi, and Turing.
You will do all of this in a network-first way. If you help other web3 D&I bootcamps grow, that’s great!

After 1 year, success looks like: You’ve run two amazing bootcamps (NPS ++) to 100 students, have partnerships with 5+ web3 orgs, and have provided the web3 community with great new diverse talent.

After 3 years, success looks like: You are leading a team of instructors who teach web3 to thousands of students every year.
