🏢 About Skybil
Skybil is an Edtech startup with a mission to tackle youth unemployment by providing job-relevant digital skills and real corporate simulated projects. Its focus on practical, project-based learning sets it apart, making it an exciting place for instructors who want to directly impact students' career readiness.
About This Role
This role involves creating high-quality video lessons for mobile development tracks (Flutter/Dart, React Native, or Ionic Framework), mentoring students through simulated corporate projects, and providing professional code reviews. You'll shape the next generation of mobile developers by bridging theory with real-world practice.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might involve recording a 20-minute video lesson on building a login screen in React Native, then reviewing five student project submissions with detailed code comments. Later, you'd host a live Q&A session to help students debug issues in their simulated projects, ensuring they meet corporate coding standards.
