Want to join the Codesmith team?
Help us redefine how software engineering can be taught!

Our mission is to disrupt the way software engineering is taught and to develop an exceptional network of software engineers, who are technically brilliant, collaborative, supportive, and passionate about pushing the engineering community forward.

The heart of Codesmith is the Software Engineering Immersive, a 12-week program in Los Angeles and New York City where engineers build compelling Open Source Products and develop expertise in computer science, full stack JavaScript and machine learning.

To develop the most exceptional group of software engineers - technically brilliant, incredible collaborators, passionate about building, and supportive of their community.

The impact can be extraordinary - a generation of engineers working at the world's best companies who are ready to build great products. We need people to help create this generation of engineers and push the programs we offer to new heights.

Our West Coast headquarters, based in Snap’s former LA space in Venice, is a quick 2 minute walk from the beach, and is located right in the middle of LA's 'Silicon Beach' next to Abbot Kinney.

Our East Coast headquarters is based NYC's bustling Tribeca neighborhood in lower Manhattan which is known for its trendy shops, galleries, and amazing food. We're a block away from the subway and just a short ride from Manhattan's greatest attractions.

We're building a team of exceptional people, who hold their engineering opinions strongly, but who ultimately put the product (and thus our users) above everything else. We receive 7 applications for every admitted student, but we have just 2 team members working on outreach. How? Incredible people who totally own what they're doing, who understand where Codesmith is going and have the ability to invent and execute on great ideas.

We're looking for candidates who have pushed something to an extraordinary level, something that required drive and ingenuity - it might be your academic success, sports, a company, an organization.We also want to see that you're driven and ambitious, but put the deeper mission first and are great fun to hang out with.

Working for Codesmith not only builds professionalism, it also comes with fun benefits. These include a competitve salary, health, dental, and vision insurance, paid vacation, education stipend, relocation assistance, and a fully stocked kitchen.

We also love to have fun! This includes team retreats every 7 weeks, team lunches and drinks, dog friendly offices, and the opportunity to work out of our LA or NY headquarters.
Team Culture
The Codesmith community is a key part of what attracts students and team members to our coding bootcamp! We set the example for Codesmith students of what it means to work hard, support each other, and have fun while we’re at it. Collaboration, diligence, and reggaeton are what we are all about!









Codesmith in the News

"Codesmith is really more about teaching computer science and programming sufficient to get someone a mid/senior position."

"Codesmith’s software engineering programs lead the industry in job placement and median starting salary."

"It’s no wonder then that the median starting salaries for Codesmith graduates are significantly higher than most other bootcamp programs."

“[The instructors] allow you to struggle and hit mental blocks. They do, however, teach you the necessary skills & help you cultivate a certain mindset so you can approach & solve any technical problem.”

"Attending Codesmith completely changed my life. I have changed careers to something I enjoy and that is very challenging and rewarding."

"[Codesmith] helps thousands of people learn the basics through free sessions online and in person."

"Codesmith online has a top-notch curriculum, and the school offers flexible schedules for remote learners."

“One of the few coding schools that place a strong emphasis on improving the technical & nontechnical competencies essential for, not just entry, but mid & senior-level software engineering roles.”

"[Codesmith’s] career support and cutting-edge curriculum gives its students a valuable head start in their new profession."
Open Roles at Codesmith
