Application Deadline
Make sure to email us your application by Thursday, March 8th 2012!
Do you still have the positions open for iOS? 🙂
Hi Sunil! The position is no longer available, sorry! To see our available openings, check out our Jobs Page.
I extremely want to teach about Front-End Design as a Front-End web developer for 6 years and designer, but I am also an international student studying abroad in California right now 🙁
I wish I could teach in the future..
I’m 14 at the moment, when i’m older, i’m gonna apply for a job at treehouse.
Thanks for providing this great opportunity … I appreciate your great effort keep it up…
Dream job, if I lived there I would totally get my haircut and get a video across 🙂
Totally applied. Really hoping for the Design position. Teaching runs in my blood, and I’d love to do it professionally.
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 🙂
Looking forward to it!
I like this line :
” 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. ”
all the best.. i wish i can apply too.. but i live in other country, man.. third world problem 😀
Living in another country is no reason to not apply. Amit relocated from India to teach with us, and we’re working on a UK visa right now.
This is a Great opportunity to be a member of this new treehouse teem. there are my friends who need jobs, n they also deserve that all. I will refer them!
this will gonna help them!
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?
Hi Ahmad,
We’re looking for someone that can teach soft skills like how to put together a cash flow, use Google Analytics, create email marketing campaigns, find talented developers, etc.
Wish I wasn’t in SLC, UT. Would be my dream job.
Front end designer job, sounds interesting…too bad am all the way in Kenya 🙁
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 🙂
We’d like to avoid relocation if we can, but we’re on a worldwide search for the best talent. Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help ease the transition to the United States. 🙂
If you could get those charges dropped against me that would be a great start 😛
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! 🙂
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.)
The video applications are starting to roll in and they’re looking great. 🙂
Are you guy posting any of the application/audition video links anywhere? Would be sort of cool if we could see or preview some of the new potential teachers and maybe even follow some of those who aren’t selected… just a thought…
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?
Hi Luis,
These roles are full-time teaching positions in Orlando, FL. Due to the nature of video production, we can’t contract or have teachers work remotely. Sorry!
Uou! First, thanks for replying!!
Second, I thought it was like that. No problem. But yet, who knows, I would like a LOT to work with you guys.
Amazing position! If I were qualified I would apply – way a go – Think Vitamin!
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.
Hi Will,
The job is very interdisciplinary, so if you know any individuals from the more traditional model of academia that know these topics, I’d love to be introduced to them. 🙂
Cheers,
Nick
Great opportunity for great minds !
Good going treehouse
If only there were 11 days in a week 🙂 I live in the area, but am very happy at my current job.
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!
working in florida? the worst state in the union? blech. j/k, but not really. good luck!
Worst state? You should travel more 🙂
What a shame you don’t want UK based developers 🙁
Who said that? Amit Bijlani moved from India to work with us in Orlando.
Awesome, are you looking for US based only designers/devs?
Feel free to apply as long as you’re OK with relocating to Orlando, Florida. 🙂
And with getting a work visa!
