About Us

Mastery Coding creates career-connected, certification-aligned elective coding curricula for middle and high schools. We deliver instruction through our courseware using self-paced lessons built around engaging video lectures, written instruction, and hands-on projects.

Our courses help students discover pathways into technology careers while earning industry-recognized certifications. We believe every student deserves access to high-quality computer science education and we're building the curriculum to make that happen.

Role Description

We're looking for a Curriculum Developer to own our Game Development pathway end-to-end. This is a unique hybrid role combining curriculum design + technical authorship + visual slide creation + video voiceover delivery.

You'll be the primary course creator responsible for everything from the initial outline to the final recorded lesson. This course prepares students for certifications including Unity Certified User: Programmer and Unity Certified User: Artist.

If you love teaching, enjoy building things in Unity, and want to shape how the next generation learns game development, this role is for you.

This is a contract position with a pathway into future curriculum development contracts or full-time employment.
