Job summary
Join a team that has a personal and meaningful impact on the career trajectories of Amazonians worldwide. Amazon Technical Academy (ATA) is an end-to-end learning and placement program designed to empower those without a software engineering background to take on technical roles within the company.

Since launching in 2017, ATA has delivered this training through an internal program to transition Amazon employees into SDE I careers, which has proven to be a source for high performing, diverse SDE talent. As a result of our success, the program is poised for significant growth through internal expansion and through partnerships with external education institutions in order to train and hire a high volume of SDE I candidates from historically excluded populations.

To support this long-term vision, we seek a Technical Curriculum Developer responsible for the design and creation of the real-world, scenario-based labs at the heart of ATA’s curriculum. The ideal candidate combines practical computer science skills and engaging instructional design methods to deliver high-quality curriculum.
