AI Engineering Curriculum Manager

About DataCamp

DataCamp's mission is to empower everyone with the data and AI skills essential for 21st-century success. By providing practical, engaging learning experiences, DataCamp equips learners and organizations of all sizes to harness the power of data and AI. As a trusted partner to over 14 million learners and 5,000+ companies, including 80% of the Fortune 1000, DataCamp is leading the charge in addressing the critical data and AI skills shortage.

About the role

Large Language Models, agentic systems, and new developer tooling are fundamentally transforming the software development landscape—and the demand for skilled AI engineers has never been greater. As an AI Engineering Curriculum Manager, you’ll be at the forefront of building world-class technical content that helps train current and aspiring software developers and data scientists.

You will work closely with a team of expert instructors and cross-functional stakeholders across curriculum, engineering, and product to create hands-on learning experiences that teach AI engineering skills. This includes content on building AI systems (RAG, fine-tuning, etc…), prompt engineering, system design for AI applications, and leveraging modern frameworks and toolchains (like LangChain, Hugging Face, Vector DBs, and more).

You’ll play a pivotal role in developing a curriculum at the intersection of software engineering and AI, driving our mission to democratize advanced AI education.

About you

• Stays current with the latest trends, tools, and techniques shaping the AI engineering ecosystem. You have a deep passion for this space.
• Is passionate about education and wants to shape how the next generation of AI engineers learn.
• Thrives in fast-paced environments and brings structure to ambiguity.
• Communicates clearly and can distill complex concepts into intuitive learning experiences.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will focus your time on the following areas:

Content Creation & Strategy

• Design and develop a curriculum covering technical AI engineering topics, such as:
• Building and deploying AI systems (e.g., RAG, fine-tuning, etc…).
• Building agentic applications using frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, smolagents, and more.
• Prompt engineering and evaluation, focusing on reliability, reproducibility, and performance.
• System design and architecture for scalable, real-world AI applications.
• Tooling and infrastructure, including vector databases, orchestration tools, and cloud-native deployment strategies.
• Collaborate with instructors to create engaging learning materials.
• Be learner zero, and act as the voice of the learner. You will review code, exercises, and course material to ensure technical accuracy and pedagogy.
• Continuously assess content performance using learner feedback and engagement data (via Looker and SQL) to drive improvements.
• Identify and prioritize high-impact AI engineering topics for new content development.
• Source and recruit top-tier instructors with deep expertise in relevant tools, frameworks, and methodologies.

Project Management & Collaboration

• Own the end-to-end content development lifecycle for new courses.
• Set project timelines and manage instructor contributions.
• Coordinate with subject matter experts to scope and validate content.
• Champion content excellence through internal reviews and structured feedback loops.
• Identify ways AI can streamline content production processes and improve content quality.

Qualifications

• Strong software engineering background, with experience in:
• Python, APIs, cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Working with LLMs and developer toolchains for AI apps (e.g., LangChain, Hugging Face Transformers, LlamaIndex, vector databases, etc…).
• Building and deploying AI-powered applications or tools.
• Experience with prompt engineering in a production environment, model evaluation, or fine-tuning is a major plus.
• Experience in a technical education role or content creation is highly preferred.
• Strong written communication skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to work collaboratively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
