Who we are Code Ninjas is the nation’s fastest-growing kids coding franchise. In our center, kids ages 5–14 learn to code the way engineers actually learn: by building, breaking, debugging, and shipping video games they love. Kids can’t wait to come back. Parents see the real upside — confidence, logic, math, problem-solving — as students progress from white belt to black belt.

Our core promise is simple: Kids have fun. Parents see results. (Yes, it’s on the walls. We mean it.)

The mission We’re looking for a Sensei who brings builder energy into the dojo every day. You’re not just “watching kids.” You’re coaching young engineers through real creative problem-solving — helping them turn ideas into working games, stuck moments into breakthroughs, and “I can’t” into “watch this.”

If you love teaching, mentoring, and building sharp problem-solvers (and you don’t mind a little chaos with a lot of high-fives), this is your role.

What you’ll do

Master the curriculum and level up your own coding + game-design toolkit
Create a positive, high-energy, safe environment where kids want to build
Coach students one-on-one and in groups — diagnose skill level, unblock stuck ninjas, celebrate wins
Spark curiosity: turn bugs, failures, and half-built ideas into engineering lessons
Give parents clear, confident tour feedback so families see the value fast
Own the floor: opening/closing duties, clean dojo standards, smooth day-to-day ops
Keep the team tight with daily manager updates and weekly progress reports

You’re a great fit if you

Have real experience with kids 5+ (mentoring, coaching, tutoring, camps, classrooms, etc.)
Are naturally good with people and thrive in public-facing roles
Collaborate well and make the team better
Know coding/tech — or can pick it up fast and enjoy the learning curve
Bring playful energy and a builder mindset to a fast-paced environment
Get energized by creative problem-solving, not just following a script

Why this role is actually fun

You’re teaching real skills through games, not worksheets
Every day is different: new projects, new bugs, new “aha” moments
You get to coach the engineering mindset early — curiosity, persistence, systems thinking
You’re part of a team that takes kids seriously as builders
Strong performers grow into bigger leadership opportunities in-center

Bottom line If you want a job that feels like coaching a junior engineering squad disguised as a game studio, apply. Bring the energy. Bring the patience. Bring the “let’s figure it out” attitude.
