At Cokonet, we believe learning is not listening—learning is living the experience. We don't do boring 2-hour slide deck lectures or static theoretical teaching.

We are looking for a Software Testing Learning Coach who brings high energy, adaptability, and a practical mindset to the learning space. As a Coach, you won't just teach testing concepts—you will simulate real-world testing scenarios, mentor learners through practical QA projects, guide portfolio building, and help learners become job-ready software testing professionals.

- Obsessed with Growth & Adaptability: You continuously explore new testing tools, automation frameworks, and AI-powered testing solutions.
- Empathetic & Outcome-Driven: You care about learner transformation and helping students become industry and interview ready.
- High Energy & Engaging: You can engage learners during classroom sessions, online training, bootcamps, workshops, and college hackathons.
- Open to Feedback & Continuous Iteration: You continuously improve learning content based on industry trends, SME inputs, and learner outcomes.
