AI Instructor – Building AI products

YPAI; États-Unis; À distance; USD 36 000 - 136 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

YPAI Learn is seeking tutors to deliver live online classes on product management for AI features. You’ll guide participants from identifying user problems to a one-page spec and an eval set, teaching them to assess model quality with real examples. Classes are taught in English, remotely, with short, structured sessions.

You’ll use a ready class kit, get paid per class, and join an instructor agreement covering pay, confidentiality, and how class material may be used.

Qualifications

• Experience teaching or mentoring product managers.
• PM experience on at least one AI feature with real users.
• Able to discuss prompts, retrieval, and evals with engineers.
• Fluent English and 18+ years old.

Responsabilités

• Teach the live class “Scope an AI feature from a user problem to a one-page spec”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Build an eval set that tells you when an AI feature is ready to ship”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how to test whether a problem needs a model at all, choose between prompting, retrieval and fine-tuning, and write down what the feature must never do.
• Walk learners through gathering real example inputs, writing the expected behaviour for each and agreeing a pass bar with engineering before the first build.
• Help learners whose spec promises accuracy the model cannot reach, whose eval set holds only easy cases, or who have not planned what users see when the model is wrong.

Description du poste

Teach live online classes on product management for AI features: deciding where AI fits a real user problem, writing the spec and setting the evals that show when a feature is ready to ship. You teach in English from a ready class kit, remotely, and you are paid for each class you teach.

What the work is for

YPAI Learn teaches product people to build with AI in live classes. Your classes take product managers and founders from an idea that “needs AI” to a scoped feature with a one-page spec and an eval set, and teach them to check output quality on real examples and plan for the moments the model gets it wrong.

The work

• Teach the live class “Scope an AI feature from a user problem to a one-page spec”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Teach the live class “Build an eval set that tells you when an AI feature is ready to ship”, 90 minutes, from the class kit.
• Show live how to test whether a problem needs a model at all, choose between prompting, retrieval and fine-tuning, and write down what the feature must never do.
• Walk learners through gathering real example inputs, writing the expected behaviour for each and agreeing a pass bar with engineering before the first build.
• Help learners whose spec promises accuracy the model cannot reach, whose eval set holds only easy cases, or who have not planned what users see when the model is wrong.

What to expect

• The classes run in English, live and online, for product people in many countries. The application asks which other languages you can teach in too.
• The kit for each class has a minute-by-minute plan, slides, speaker notes, a demo of a spec and eval set taking shape, and a backup recording of the demo.
• You teach remotely from your own computer, with a stable connection, a camera, a microphone and access to an AI model you can prototype with during the demo.
• Your first class comes after you pass the instructor test for that class.
• Before a teaching assignment starts, you sign an instructor agreement. It covers pay, confidentiality and how class material may be used.
• Each invitation states the class times and the price learners pay, and you see both before you accept.

What you bring

• An AI feature or product you shipped or managed, with a spec, eval results or launch notes you can show without confidential detail.
• Experience teaching, mentoring product managers, running product workshops or leading design reviews.
• Patience with learners from non-technical backgrounds who are new to how models behave.

You need

• Product management experience on at least one AI feature that reached real users.
• Enough technical grounding to discuss prompts, retrieval, model choice and evals with engineers.
• Fluent spoken English, the language the classes are taught in.
• 18 years or older.

Good to know

• An employment contract may require approval for work outside it. If yours does, arrange it before you accept an assignment.
• There is no set amount of teaching: it depends on class demand, and each invitation states the expected time commitment.
• Nothing to pay to apply, and no need to buy or take a YPAI Learn course.
