CODE SENSEI (INSTRUCTOR) — Code Ninjas SeattleWe are actively hiring for flexible summer hours to support our summer camp program, with on-the-job training toward a regular Sensei role during the school year. If you're looking for a fun, meaningful way to spend your summer — this is it.
Who are we?Code Ninjas is the nation's fastest-growing kids coding franchise. In our center, kids ages 7–14 learn to code in a fun, non-intimidating way — by playing and building video games they love. Kids have a blast and can't wait to come back. Parents are thrilled as their children gain confidence and new skills including coding, math, logic, and problem-solving as they progress from white to black belt. Our core promise is simple: kids have fun, parents see results. We believe in it so much it's written on the walls.
What are we looking for?We're looking for an enthusiastic, people-person to join our team and help create a fun, safe learning environment for kids. Our Code Senseis are the heart of our center — coaching students, sparking curiosity, and keeping the energy up. No advanced coding background required; we'll train you on everything you need.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an outgoing high school student looking to build real resume experience, develop leadership and communication skills, and stand out in college applications. It's also a great fit for college students and anyone with a passion for working with kids.
