Job Summary

This Freelance & Remote Opportunity

We are hiring a technically strong instructor to deliver a structured, hands-on bootcamp on Application Modernization for cohorts of Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) and a broader mix of architects, technical practitioners, and consulting professionals.

Key Responsibilities

Teaching and Content Delivery

• Deliver technical sessions across the 5-day arc covering portfolio assessment, mainframe modernization, hyperscaler target architectures, application refactoring patterns, and agentic AI accelerated delivery.

• Translate dense modernization content (6R/7R dispositions, replatform vs. refactor trade-offs, AP×Q economics, zCloud patterns) into clear explanations for a mixed-skill audience spanning mainframe veterans, cloud-native engineers, and consulting practitioners.

• Walk through reference target architectures for IBM Z modernization, Azure landing zones, hyperscaler coexistence, and containerized application estates.

Live Demonstrations and Lab Facilitation 

• Run live technical demonstrations of mainframe modernization workflows (AMI portfolio scans, code analysis, replatform/refactor patterns), Azure-based target deployments, containerization, and Agent Builder workflows.

• Walk all lab exercises in parallel with participants on a shared screen, setting time expectations and announcing progress checkpoints. • Monitor participant progress during labs, identify who is stuck, and intervene early with pairing or targeted support rather than waiting for a hand to be raised.

• Troubleshoot and fix common environment issues (mainframe emulator access, Azure subscription / RBAC, container runtime, Git, Agent Builder credentials) during preparation and delivery. Escalate unresolvable issues to the program lead without losing cohort momentum.

Cohort Management

• Recognize and respond to different skill levels within the cohort. Proactively pair, redirect, or stretch participants based on their progress. • Create a learning environment where participants feel safe asking questions, taking risks, and surfacing problems early.

• Manage groups of 50 participants in virtual or hybrid settings, or sets of ten participants in breakout rooms, while maintaining session energy and engagement across a full week of training.

• Circulate between breakout groups during labs and the capstone, asking guiding coaching questions to keep teams focused and scoped.

Continuous Improvement 

• Maintain a running log of environment issues, participant questions, and instructional friction encountered during delivery.

• Contribute observations and recommendations to the post-cohort improvement process within 48 hours of delivery.

• Keep delivery materials current with the latest lab instructions and known-issue workarounds before each cohort.
