Treehouse is looking for four new awesome teachers to add to the Treehouse Team! If you’re a talented designer or developer, this is an absolute dream job.

We’re hiring four new video teachers! The Treehouse video studio is located in Orlando, Florida which is where you’ll be working. We’re looking for some amazing people that can dominate the following roles:

  • PHP & WordPress Teacher
  • Front-End Design Teacher
  • Android Development Teacher
  • Business & Marketing Teacher

Responsibilities

  1. Writing and recording videos
  2. Writing quizzes and code challenges
  3. Creating downloadable assets and code
  4. Writing blog posts for Think Vitamin

Here’s one of the videos from our library, which is similar to what you’ll be creating:

Skills and Qualities

  • You have crazy passion for the web. You live this stuff!
  • You have outstanding writing abilities.
  • You have impressive presentation skills and lots of on-camera confidence.
  • You’re self motivated and you maintain your razor sharp knowledge.
  • You whole-heartedly believe in our Core Values.

Our Benefits

We believe work, fun, and generous benefits go together. Treehouse team members enjoy…

  2. 18 vacation days, 9 federal holidays, and two weeks off at Christmas
  3. Free iPhone + monthly contract
  4. Free lunch every day
  5. 401(k) contribution matching
  6. Full coverage for medical, dental, and vision

Working in Orlando

You’ll absolutely love working in our Orlando office! In addition to the growing teaching team, you’ll also work closely with our talented video production crew. These creative guys and gals are the best in the biz; they will make you look and sound your best.

We’re a fun loving bunch that appreciates cupcakes, remote control helicopters, hammocks, Nerf wars, and coffee. Oh, and animated GIFs! Can’t forget about the GIFs. 🙂 Here’s a behind-the-scenes video of a project we all worked on together that will give you a flavor for the office.

How to Apply

  1. Create a 3-5 minute audition video where you teach a topic related to the role you’re applying for. If you love PHP and WordPress, tell me all about themes or plugins!
  2. When you’ve uploaded your video to the web, email the link to nick@teamtreehouse.com – Please do not send email attachments.

Also, please don’t send a resume. 😉 We don’t care about your education or how many jobs you’ve worked. We’re looking for confidence, friendliness, passion, and crisp teaching abilities.

Application Deadline

Make sure to email us your application by Thursday, March 8th 2012!

    I’m definitely applying. I’d have to relocate to the states, If I get the position of front-end design teacher, which would be a dream come true for me! But we’ll wait and see 🙂

    Hi guys!

    One of the roles it says you’re looking to fill is someone that can teach business and marketing. Exactly what type of business and marketing are you looking for?

    Wish I wasn’t in SLC, UT. Would be my dream job.

    This is an amazing opportunity. If I was allowed to leave the country I would be well up for it! I look forward to seeing the content from the successful applicants 🙂

  14. Hope L Bryant on February 27, 2012 at 6:14 pm said:

    Makes sense that you’d want folks to be or move to Florida, due to your studio set up being down there. Wish I could apply if it weren’t for my family obligations up here in PA. *LeSigh* Maybe one day you’d consider telecommuting or something of the like. You folks look like a blast to work with! 🙂

    • Nick Pettit on February 27, 2012 at 8:17 pm said:

      Due to the nature of video production, we can’t consider telecommuting for teaching roles.

      If it’s kids you’re concerned about, Orlando has lots of theme parks that they would love, including Walt Disney World. Yay! We’ve had teachers relocate from as far away as India, so if there’s anything we can do to help ease the transition let us know. 🙂

    Wish a lot of awesome people would apply, quick! 😀

    (For selfish purposes when I unpause my account later so there’ll be even more videos and lessons to learn.)

    AWESOME!!! JUST AWESOME!!! I’m making the classes and I always thought of wordpress lessons, I also thought that I would like to work with you guys, but… I don’t have the writing skills, I love php, css3, wordpress and I also like to teach… and, well, I’m brazilian, I don’t think you guys contract people from other countries.. do you?

  17. M-nah Fah on February 25, 2012 at 10:13 pm said:

    Amazing position! If I were qualified I would apply – way a go – Think Vitamin! 

  18. Will Hardy on February 25, 2012 at 4:20 pm said:

    What a shame you’re not looking for actual teachers, with training and experience in teaching or at least someone who has studied Pedagogy. It would help your videos so much more than yet another developer.

    Great opportunity for great minds !

    Good going treehouse 

  20. Mike McLin on February 25, 2012 at 3:20 am said:

    If only there were 11 days in a week 🙂  I live in the area, but am very happy at my current job.

  21. Brian Jones on February 24, 2012 at 10:01 pm said:

    Sounds like a great opportunity! I wish I was more experienced in the field, I’m right in Clearwater. Best of luck to all applicants!

  22. Steve Davis on February 22, 2012 at 9:10 pm said:

    What a shame you don’t want UK based developers 🙁

  24. Alex Cican on February 22, 2012 at 2:49 pm said:
