CAREERS AT THE DIGITAL CHESSBOARD

Build young minds. Shape the future.

Join a team coaching students across 25+ countries — using chess to help children think sharper, plan further, and grow with more confidence. From coaching and curriculum to content and operations, every role reaches a child somewhere.

What The Work Is

We help children think

Every role here feeds one larger goal: helping students build focus, patience, confidence, and strategic thinking through chess — whether you're the one teaching, or the one making the teaching possible.

Who you'd be working with

A small, hands-on team where ideas move quickly and good work gets noticed. You'll work closely with coaching, content, marketing and operations to build a better learning experience every week.

The honest part

Coaching follows when students are free to learn — evenings and weekends included. It can be demanding, but watching a student actually improve makes it worth it. Non-teaching roles keep standard hours.

One role we never close: great chess coaches

Great coaching is more than a FIDE title. If you can teach, engage a child, and help them improve, we want to hear from you — every coach completes our identity and credential verification plus a reviewed trial class before their first student.

How To Apply

Three things, and you're ready

Apply for a specific role, or introduce yourself for whatever opens next.

1

A CV

One page is enough. What you've done, what you know, what you'd bring to the role.

2

Two lines

What you'd like to own here, and why this role feels right for you.

3

Something you made

A lesson plan, a project, a campaign, a video — anything that shows how you work.

What Happens Next

What happens after you apply

We keep it simple and transparent — every application gets a real response, either way.

01

You send

Your CV, two lines about what you'd like to own, and something you've made.

02

We read

A real person on our team reviews it and shares it with the right people.

03

We talk

A conversation with people you'd actually work with, about the role and about you.

04

You decide

If it's a fit, we make an offer and give you what you need to decide.

Before You Write

A few things people ask

Do I need a FIDE rating to coach here?
Yes — to coach with us you should be a federation-rated player (FIDE or your national federation). On top of that, every coach completes our identity and credential verification and a reviewed trial class before their first session, because playing strength and teaching ability aren't the same thing.
Is the work remote?
Coaching is fully remote — classes are live and online. Some non-coaching roles may be location-specific; each listing says which.
Nothing open fits me. Is it still worth writing?
Yes. We hire in bursts and keep strong applications on file. Send your CV with a line on what you'd want to own, and we'll come back to it when something opens.
What happens after I apply — will it just disappear?
No. A real person reads every application. See "What Happens After You Apply" above for the exact steps — we'd rather give you a quick no than leave you waiting.
One Last Thing
