CodePath Mentor, Claude Corps
CodePath is the largest educator of college computer science students in the country. We've trained over 40,000 students from 1,000+ universities, and our partners include Amazon, Google, and other leading technology companies. We've spent nearly a decade training the next generation of technical talent, and we just launched a $150M initiative with Anthropic, building one of the most ambitious AI workforce programs in the world.
About the Role
Together with Anthropic, CodePath launched Claude Corps in June 2026, a national fellowship program with a $150 million commitment to place 1,000 AI-trained fellows at nonprofits across America. As a CodePath Mentor, you are the full-time technical coach for a portfolio of roughly ten pods: about 20 fellows across 8-12 host organizations, from pre-Basecamp through the final day of the program. You develop fellows by reviewing their work, identifying patterns, and resolving roadblocks. The host organization directs the fellow's day-to-day work, the curriculum team owns what they learn, and your Delivery Manager holds the performance bar. Your job is to make each fellow better at the work.
The work is mostly written and asynchronous: code review on pull requests, feedback on roadmap drafts and quarterly business reviews, weekly office hours, and a few synchronous deep dives when needed. You carry the throughline: you know your pods end to end, see patterns nobody else sees, and pull in deeper expertise when a fellow needs it.
This role is built for engineers who would rather coach 20 engineers through real production work than ship one feature themselves. You are a few years further down the road than the fellows: enough professional reps to read code with judgment, a real coaching instinct, and the AI-native practice fellows are being trained to build.
Location: Remote, United States
Role-Type: Full-Time, W2 Employee
Reports To: Senior Manager of AI Practice, Claude Corps
Start Date: September 21st, ahead of the October 19th cohort launch
Responsibilities
- Coach your pods
- Carry roughly 10 pods (about 20 fellows across 8 to 12 host organizations) full-time from pre-Basecamp through final day, calibrating your time across the portfolio.
- Have first eyes on every fellow's pull request, and give structured written feedback on their real work (PRs, roadmap drafts, architecture proposals, QBR deliverables) at the cohort's pace.
- Facilitate weekly 1:1s with all fellows and document their progress, challenges, and successes using Claude Corps tooling.
- Lead each fellow's Day 30/90/180/270 milestone review; own the fellow-level synthesis and hand it up to your Delivery Manager.
- Deliver the curriculum in your pods
- Deliver the just-in-time modules the curriculum team designs; author lane- or pod-specific content when commissioned.
- Frame and debrief cohort-wide all-hands your Delivery Manager runs, and sessions where the curriculum team or a guest teaches your fellows.
- Co-lead the Basecamp practical assessment alongside Anthropic's instructors; it is your first calibration on each cohort.
- Keep the program honest
- When the same problem shows up across three fellows, raise it to the right owner: Claude Corps leadership, curriculum team, partner experts, host-org managers, or your Delivery Manager.
- Be the first stop when a fellow's technical work is at risk; surface it to your Delivery Manager, who owns the escalation.
- Work AI-natively: Claude is core to your coaching loop for code review, pattern-spotting, and feedback at scale.
Key Success Metrics
- You have surfaced the top three cohort-wide technical patterns to your Delivery Manager and the curriculum team.
- 100% of host-org managers you've worked with in the last 30 days can produce one concrete example of your impact.
- Every Day 30 review is done and documented, handed up to your Delivery Manager, with a plan for any fellow whose work is at risk or ready for the next challenge.
Requirements
- Required
- 2 to 4 years of professional software engineering on a real team: long enough to have opinions about code, short enough to remember being the most junior engineer in the room.
- Real coaching or mentorship reps, formal or not: an intern you saw through a summer, a teammate you onboarded, a bootcamp you TA'd. We are hiring the instinct, not a management title.
- You can read a pull request you didn't write, in a stack you don't use every day, and give feedback that is specific and useful.
- You have shipped production work with AI-assisted development tools and can describe specifically how your workflow changed; you have to be ahead of the fellows on this curve.
- You are comfortable as a generalist coach: you find the answer or the right person quickly, and you trust partner experts to carry the depth you don't.
- Strong written communication; most of your feedback is asynchronous, read by people who don't speak your stack.
- Comfortable with remote, synchronous obligations across US time zones and about two evenings a month for cohort sessions and milestone reviews.
- Preferred
- TA, bootcamp coach, fellowship mentor, or instructor experience in a cohort program, even informally.
- Experience at a small or scrappy organization where engineering meant translating business context into technical decisions.
- Comfort across at least two of: web full-stack, data/AI engineering, ML, infra/devops.
Pay
CodePath has standardized salaries based on the position's level, no matter where you live. For this role, we're hiring for an Individual Contributor level position at an annual salary of $110,000 to $124,500. Salary is determined based on your relevant experience and skills as evaluated through our interview process.
