Founding Red Team Instructor

Fullstack Cyber Academy is hiring instructors (New York, United States)

DESCRIPTION

Fullstack Academy is the premier software development school located in New York City and Chicago. Y Combinator-backed, our school has garnered the attention of Forbes, TechCrunch, and Business Insider, among others. The reputation of our school is built on the professional success of each and every one of our students. Students have gone on to promising careers at top-tier companies, like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Goldman Sachs. In January 2016, we launched the Grace Hopper Program, which is a need-blind software engineering program for women.

In late 2018, New York City selected Fullstack to build a world-class cybersecurity bootcamp, as part of its $100M Cyber NYC initiative. The bootcamp is called Fullstack Cyber Academy, and will open its doors in summer 2019. You can read more about the cyber bootcamp on its website at cyber.fullstackacademy.com and in some of the news coverage it has received.
