Over the past 16+ years Instil has built a worldwide reputation for software engineering expertise and know-how. At the forefront of this has been our training team, a band of software junkies who live and breathe all things software, and who teach, advocate and mentor into some of the world’s best known technology brands.

But the joys of success means more work, and so, we are looking for a new trainer (or aspiring trainer) to join our growing team. To be open, this is a demanding role, requiring a heady mix of learning, advocating, teaching, marketing, organising, conferencing, researching, developing, and much more besides.

Our training team never stands still. There is a constant need to respond to the latest shifting sands of technology, but the returns are enormous. Not only do you get to play with the latest technologies on a daily basis, you have the opportunity to nurture and grow the next generation of software engineers, globally.

If that sounds like you, get in touch :)
