Careers
Teach the thing you actually do.
MindXcel mentors are practitioners first. If you build in a domain and can explain why you made the decisions you made, that is most of what the role requires.
Open roles
Current vacancies.
We do not have a vacancy posted right now. We do keep open applications on file, and mentor capacity is reviewed before every intake.
Tell us the domain you would want to work in and what you have built.

Four roles, most of them part-time.
Mentoring and instruction are built to fit around a working schedule — that is deliberate, because we want people who are still doing the work.
Mentor
Review learner project work and run checkpoint sessions in your domain. Part-time, scheduled around your own job.
Instructor
Lead live sessions for a program cohort, from fundamentals through to the final build.
Curriculum developer
Design and maintain module content, assignments and project briefs — particularly in domains that change quickly.
Learner success
Counselling, onboarding and keeping cohorts moving. The person who notices when someone has gone quiet.
Hiring process
Five steps, and no unpaid trial teaching.
The teaching sample is with real learners, and it is compensated like any other session.
- 01
Apply
Send your background and the domain you would want to work in. A portfolio or GitHub matters more than a formatted CV.
- 02
Conversation
A call about how you approach explaining things, and what you have actually built.
- 03
Practical exercise
A short, realistic task — reviewing a piece of learner work, or outlining how you would teach a specific concept.
- 04
Teaching sample
For mentor and instructor roles, a live session with real learners and real questions.
- 05
Offer
Scope, schedule and terms in writing before you commit to anything.
What we look for
The same principles we teach by.
If these read as obvious to you, you will probably fit. If they read as constraints, you probably will not.
Build before you memorise
Concepts stick once you have used them badly, fixed them, and used them again. Explanation comes first, but never for long.
Mentors, not just material
Content scales; judgement does not. The part that is hard to get elsewhere is a specialist telling you what is wrong with your approach.
Finish something real
Every program ends in an artefact you can show and defend. An unfinished tutorial teaches you less than a small thing you actually completed.
Honest feedback over encouragement
Being told your work is fine when it is not will cost you the interview later. Feedback here is specific, and sometimes uncomfortable.
Say what we do not know
Where something is unconfirmed — a fee, a schedule, an outcome — we say so rather than estimating it and hoping.
Applying
Send your background, the domain you would want to work in, and a link to something you have built or written. A portfolio, repository or technical write-up tells us more than a formatted CV does.
