Requirements
Training is a core part of RevoData’s offering. Whether companies are adopting Databricks for the first time, scaling their data platform, or upskilling their teams in Data Engineering, BI, ML or GenAI — our instructors play a crucial role in helping them succeed.
As our Technical Instructor, you will deliver high-quality Databricks trainings to data professionals across Europe, with a strong focus on virtual sessions. You’ll guide learners through complex concepts in an engaging, structured way and ensure every training — whether 4 hours or multi-day — is impactful and smooth from start to finish.
Alongside teaching, you’ll help strengthen and streamline how we run our training operations: coordinating schedules, improving processes, and working closely with our internal team and Databricks to continuously raise the bar.
About You
You have a passion for teaching and a natural ability to explain technical concepts clearly. Whether you come from a Data Engineering, analytics, software engineering or similar technical background, you're confident writing Python and SQL and enjoy learning new technologies while helping others develop their technical skills.
You enjoy being in front of a group — virtual or in-person — and you know how to hold attention, adjust your communication style, and keep learners engaged even in the seventh hour of training. You’re calm, patient, structured, and genuinely enjoy supporting others in their learning journey. You don’t need Databricks expertise on day one — we’ll give you dedicated time in your first months to learn, get certified, and ramp up before delivering your first training.
What You’ll Do
- Deliver engaging Databricks trainings across Data Engineering, BI, Machine Learning, and GenAI - primarily virtual and in English.
- Ensure smooth training operations: coordinating schedules, preparing materials, managing the training Slack channels, and handling last-minute requests when they arise.
- Guide learners through complex technical topics in a structured, clear and approachable way, adjusting your style to the needs of the group.
- Collaborate closely with our instructors and Databricks to strengthen our training program and maintain high delivery standards.
- Take ownership of improving how training is organised - from spotting inefficiencies to proposing and implementing better ways of working.
- Play a key role in growing our virtual training capacity, helping RevoData meet increasing demand while ensuring consistency and quality.
What You Bring
- Hands-on programming experience with Python and SQL. As our trainings include practical coding exercises, you should be comfortable building, modifying and troubleshooting code with learners in real time.
- A strong motivation to teach and a genuine interest in being a full-time instructor, not someone who wants to teach on the side.
- Solid presentation skills - you can explain technical concepts clearly to different audiences and maintain confidence and kindness throughout.
- A fast-learning, analytical mindset that helps you pick up new tools and concepts quickly.
- Patience, empathy, and the ability to remain calm and supportive even when asked the same question multiple times.
- A proactive, organised way of working and the confidence to take ownership of processes, structure, and scheduling.
- Teaching, mentoring or coaching experience is a plus but not required; what matters is your motivation and ability to deliver training with clarity and energy.
- Proficiency in English is essential; an additional language is a plus - Dutch, Italian, Spanish, French, German.
- Willingness to travel approximately 20% of the time, mainly within the EU.
- Machine Learning or AI project experience is a plus.
- A PhD, or experience in research or academia, is a plus.
- Databricks experience is a plus .
