This is a delivery role that combines hands-on technical fluency with strong facilitation. The instructor runs sessions, walks every lab in parallel with participants, debugs participant environments live, coaches groups through the capstone, and judges final presentations. Success in the role depends equally on the ability to teach conceptually at pace and to recover smoothly from the inevitable lab and environment failures that occur in live delivery. This is an active, evolving program. Instructors are expected to contribute observations, fixes, and improvements with every cohort they run.

Qualifications - Refactoring patterns: strangler fig, anti-corruption layer, branch by abstraction, and database decomposition. - Containerization: Docker fundamentals, image build and registry workflows, Kubernetes (pods, deployments, services, ingress, configmaps/secrets), and Helm at a working level. Familiarity with OpenShift is a plus. - Microservices design: domain decomposition, API contracts (REST and gRPC), event-driven patterns, and observability (structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing). - CI/CD: pipeline design, environment promotion, infrastructure as code (Terraform or Bicep), and GitOps basics. - Database migration: schema conversion, data movement strategies, and cutover patterns from mainframe (Db2, IMS, VSAM) and on-prem RDBMS to cloud-native data services. - Agentic AI: Basic understanding of LLM APIs, tool calling, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agent loops (e.g., ReAct pattern). - Core Engineering Toolchain: Basic knowledge of Linux, Bash scripting, Python, Git, and REST APIs. Requirements - Demonstrated experience facilitating technical training, workshops, or enablement programs for professional engineering audiences. - Able to explain complex modernization concepts clearly, adjust language for different knowledge levels, and handle challenging questions composedly. - Able to deliver technical content to mixed-seniority engineering audiences with clarity and confidence. - Able to diagnose and recover from lab environment failures live without losing cohort momentum. - Comfortable managing a full-day technical session including Q and A, group pacing, and ad-hoc debugging. - Proficient with virtual delivery platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or equivalent.
