Requirements:

* 5+ years of professional development experience as part of an engineering team.

* Strong grounding in CS fundamentals like Data Structures and Algorithms.

Viking Education | Full Stack Instructor + Curriculum Architect | Onsite(SF) or Remote | http://www.vikingcodeschool.com

Viking Code School runs an immersive and 100% online development bootcamp where students only pay tuition when they get a job. We're a mission-driven company with the goal of launching a million high-growth careers around the world while having fun doing so.

Instructors are the heart of everything we do and we are looking for an experienced and opinionated full stack web developer who will lead instruction in the Immersive program and ongoing development of the curriculum. This is not a lecture-based position -- we heavily lean on demos and code review while supporting our pair-programming students when they have questions.

Because we are 100% online, this is a REMOTE OK position which allows for a high degree of lifestyle flexibility while giving you a chance to potentially affect millions of lives with the lessons, demos, projects and posts you create.

Requirements:

* 5+ years team-based development experience, 3+ in Ruby/Rails or JavaScript and relevant frameworks (e.g. AngularJS). Strong CS, testing and data fundamentals.

* Significant experience with writing, sharing and educating (e.g. blogging, delivering conference talks, podcasting, teaching, or committing to OSS). Great communication is prized over specific teaching experience.

* A legitimate passion for education and, preferably, also a quirky weird sense of fun.

Apply with your CV, a description of why you are a good fit, and any relevant links to Github, conference talks, blog posts etc. to careers@vikingcodeschool.com

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Maybe talk to your lawyer or HR person before using IQ tests tho.

Elaborate? These tests are pretty common in interviews. I'd be curious to know what you're thinking.

Not the poster, but as some IQ tests have been proven to discriminate against protected classes, this may be an opening for a discrimination lawsuit. Effectiveness of the lawsuit might vary from state to state. IANAL.
