About the Role

About Us

At LangChain, our mission is to make intelligent agents ubiquitous. We build the foundation for agent engineering in the real world, helping developers move from prototypes to production-ready AI agents that teams can rely on. We began as widely adopted open-source tools and have grown to also offer a platform for building, evaluating, deploying, and operating agents at scale.

With $125M raised at Series B from IVP, Sequoia, Benchmark, CapitalG, and Sapphire Ventures, we’re at a stage where we’re continuing to develop new products, growth is accelerating, and all team members have meaningful impact on what we build and how we work together. LangChain is a place where your contributions can shape how this technology shows up in the real world.

Today, LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, and Fleet are used by teams shipping real AI products across startups and large enterprises. Millions of developers trust LangChain to power AI teams at companies like Replit, Clay, Coinbase, Workday, Lyft, Cloudflare, Harvey, Rippling, Vanta, and 35% of the Fortune 500.

About the Role

LangChain Academy is how developers, engineers, and AI practitioners go from curious to capable on LangChain’s products. We’re looking for an Education Engineer to own the development of curriculum that turns developers into proficient agent builders.

This is a high-craft, high-ownership role at the intersection of software engineering and education. You’ll design and build the courses, tutorials, and live workshops that teach the LangChain ecosystem to a community of over 1 million developers — many of whom are building production agents for the first time. The bar is high: developers can tell the difference between content that genuinely helps them build and content that’s just a feature tour. Your job is to create content that consistently clears that bar.

You’ll work closely with LangChain’s engineering team to stay at the frontier of what’s possible with LangGraph, LangChain, and the broader ecosystem, and work with the Technical Content Manager to shape curriculum strategy and prioritize what gets built. You’ll also partner with the Education Marketing Lead on course launches, YouTube content, and live events.

What You’ll Do

Curriculum & Course Development

  • Build the courses that define how developers learn to build agents. Design and develop end-to-end curriculum for LangChain Academy - from scoping and structure to hands-on labs and assessments — that take developers from zero to proficient with our products.

  • Partner with LangChain engineers to stay at the frontier. Work closely with the engineering team to understand what’s new, what’s changing, and what developers need to know. Translate that into curriculum.

  • Write code that teaches. Build the notebooks, example apps, and working code samples that sit at the core of every course. The code needs to be clean, well-structured, and genuinely instructive.

  • Build the conceptual foundation developers need to build well, not just build. As coding agents handle more of the implementation, what developers need most is a clear mental model of what’s possible and what good looks like — the right architecture, the right tradeoffs, the right patterns. Craft explanations, diagrams, and frameworks that develop genuine understanding.

  • Keep curriculum current. Agent engineering is a fast-moving field. Own the ongoing review and revision of existing courses to keep them accurate, relevant, and aligned with the latest LangChain releases and agentic applications.

Live Education & Community

  • Represent LangChain at workshops, meetups, and conferences. Design and deliver live technical education at developer events — from intimate hackathons to large conference stages. Be the person who makes a complex concept click for a room full of engineers.

  • Run webinars and live sessions for our community. Host live learning sessions that give enrolled developers direct access to expertise and a chance to ask questions, deepen understanding, and stay engaged with the curriculum.

  • Bring community feedback back into the curriculum. Live education is a signal. What developers struggle with, ask about, or get excited by in workshops should inform what gets built and how it gets explained in the Academy.

Content Across Formats

  • Produce high-quality video content LangChain Academy and YouTub. Record and edit video tutorials and course content that is clear, engaging, and worth watching to completion. Be comfortable on camera and able to explain complex technical ideas in a way that keeps developers engaged.

  • Write tutorials and guides that rank and resonate. Develop written educational content — tutorials, how-to guides, and explainers — that serve developers at different levels.

  • Think in learning paths, not just individual lessons. Work with the Technical Content Manager to ensure content fits into a coherent progression — so a developer finishing one course knows exactly where to go next.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience as a software developer and/or technical educator. You’ve spent time as a developer building applications and can hold your own in a conversation with senior engineers. Time spent as a technical educator or curriculum developer counts toward this.

  • Developer empathy. You understand what earns trust with technical audiences. You know the difference between educational content developers find genuinely useful and content that feels like a tutorial-shaped ad.

  • A degree in computer science, mathematics, or a related STEM field. A strong academic foundation in the technical domains you’ll be teaching is important.

  • Strong programming skills across multiple languages. TypeScript is highly desirable. A capable full-stack developer with strong application and systems-level development skills**.** Proficiency in Python, Java, or Go is a strong plus.

  • Hands-on experience developing online asynchronous curriculum in GenAI, ML, data science, or a related technical domain. You’ve built courses or structured learning programs before — you know how to sequence concepts, design exercises, and pace a curriculum that keeps learners progressing.

  • Strong working knowledge of generative AI concepts, agents, and prompt engineering. You can speak fluently about how LLMs work, how agents are structured, and what makes a good prompt — and you can teach those concepts to developers at different levels.

  • Deep technical depth with a gift for explanation. You’re a strong developer who can build real things with LangChain’s stack and explain what you built in a way that helps someone else do it too. The two skills don’t always travel together - we need both.

  • Comfort with ambiguity and speed. Agent engineering is moving fast. You’re energized by that rather than overwhelmed. You can scope curriculum for a technology that’s still evolving and produce something genuinely useful before the landscape shifts again.

  • Strong on-camera presence and written voice. You can deliver a live workshop to a room of senior engineers and record a tutorial that developers actually finish. Your written explanations are clear, precise, and direct.

  • Collaborative. You do your best work in close partnership with engineers, product teams, and other educators.

Nice to have

  • Experience building curriculum specifically for agent engineering, LLM tooling, or similar frontier AI topics.

  • Prior experience producing YouTube content for a technical audience.

  • Experience with LMS platforms.
