CODE SENSEI (INSTRUCTOR) — Code Ninjas Seattle

We are actively hiring for our Sensei team. We're looking for enthusiastic people who can commit to flexible afternoon and Saturday hours during the school year. We offer comprehensive training and genuine support from our close-knit team to help you thrive in this role. If you're looking for a fun, meaningful job where your work really matters — 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 building awesome projects in Blockly, JavaScript, Unity, Godot, Roblox Studio, and Minecraft. 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.
