Databases are the beating heart of every business in the world.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for understanding our brand and the learning principles our Curriculum Developers use to structure the content, and making sure that both are reflected in the final video production. You are someone who is excited about creating an online education experience that is engaging, informative, and helps our customers better use CockroachDB.

The Expectations
In your first 30 days, you will learn about CockroachDB and understand the value it brings to our customers; get a handle on the Training team’s current priorities and processes; and start editing video content for new and existing Cockroach University courses.
3 months in, you will be editing videos for multiple new and existing Cockroach University courses; streamlining the production process to work transparently and efficiently across pairs of Curriculum Developers working in parallel; and establishing a branded library of diagrams and components.
