Are you a Computer Science (or related field) major? Want to learn to build real web apps, instead of just learning theory? Interested in tech education? Want to be involved with a nonprofit that trains Veterans and military spouses to become professional software developers?
Code Platoon is a nonprofit Coding Bootcamp that strictly serves the military community. Our award winning, 15-week Full-time program is designed to train deeply interested beginners and prepare them for careers in software development.
We are looking for a major in Computer Science, sophomore or higher to be a teaching assistant (TA) during our Fall 2026 (October 2026 – January 2027) or Winter 2027 (February – May 2027) sessions.
This is a full time position . We do not expect the TA to know the material beforehand, but do expect that they will spend enough time preparing ahead of time so that when the material is presented to the class, the TA will be able to be an ‘advanced beginner’. Aside from learning the material, the TA’s primary responsibility will be to assist students with their coding assignments during the rest of the day.
You will learn to build enterprise-grade apps using the Django and React.js frameworks.
This is an excellent opportunity for an aspiring software developer to learn real-world coding skills, as our program prepares students to go directly into the job market as software developers.
THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS DESCRIBED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS LISTING.
The TA will essentially get a $20,000 education (cost of the program) for free. A side benefit for the TA will be access to our extensive software developer community.
