Job description

Shaken Not Stirred is an organization founded in 2019 with the mission to empower future generations by developing and implementing innovative education projects. Our flagship initiatives include 42 Portugal and TUMO Portugal.

42 is one of the world’s leading coding schools, with over 50 campuses across more than 30 countries. It is a free of charge, inclusive school, open to anyone regardless of academic background or professional experience, based on a peer-to-peer, project-based learning model with no classes, no teachers, and no schedules. In Portugal, 42 Lisboa opened in 2020 and 42 Porto in 2022, and has nowadays 2000 active students with an employment rate above 90%.

TUMO is a creative technologies center founded in Armenia and now present in more than 10 countries. Aimed at young people aged 12 to 18, TUMO is a free of charge program that complements formal education through personalized learning paths in areas such as Programming, Robotics, Animation, Game Development, Music, Photography, and Graphic Design. In Portugal, TUMO centers are already operating in Coimbra, Lisboa and Porto, each with a capacity for 1.500 students, and an ambition to scale even further nationwide.

Shaken Not Stirred is also taking its first steps in international expansion, with the upcoming launch of TUMO Bilbao planned for September 2026.

Alongside these free educational initiatives, Shaken Not Stirred develops professional and entrepreneurship programs, such as the AI Dive for Business, delivered both in partnership with companies (B2B) and directly to individuals (B2C). AI Dive for Business is an immersive program designed to challenge participants to explore the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence in a practical and hands-on way. Through a project-based and collaborative learning model, participants tackle real business challenges and experiment with AI tools that simplify operations, automate processes, and unlock new forms of creativity.

All our initiatives are driven by a strong social mission: to promote upward social mobility and contribute to long-term social and economic growth.
