Teaching Assistant - Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning & Data Science
Part-time (not a full-time job) | 3 to 6 hours a week | Remote | ₹3,000 to ₹6,000 a week (more for experienced TAs)
Remember that one teacher who made a scary topic suddenly make sense?
Be that person for someone.
At Masai, our students are career switchers, fresh graduates and working professionals who want a better job and a better life. Many of them are one "aha!" moment away from getting there. You could be the one who gives it to them.
What you'll do
- Answer student questions on chat during live classes. Think of it as being the calm, smart friend in the group chat.
- Mentor students in groups and sometimes one-on-one. You help them debug their code, understand why a model behaves the way it does and believe in themselves.
When you'll work
- Weekdays from 8:00 PM
- Weekends
It fits neatly around your day job or research.
Why this matters
Every student has a question they're scared to ask. As their mentor, you're the one they ask without feeling judged. "Dumb" questions are never dumb. Answer one and it clicks. That's the magic: you help someone upskill and change their life.
You might forget the doubt you cleared on a Tuesday night. They won't.
Every good teacher learns twice.

Who can apply
You should be one of these:
- A working professional with 1+ year of experience in data science, machine learning, AI or a related role
- A PhD scholar in computer science, AI, statistics, mathematics or a related area
We prefer ed-tech or teaching experience. No teaching experience yet? That's okay. If you're confident you can explain things clearly and make students want to learn, apply anyway and show us.
