Seven-Year-Old Coding Prodigy Offered Job by Russian IT Firm

A young coding enthusiast has caught the attention of a Russian IT company, which has extended a job offer to him, albeit with a long wait until he can legally accept it.


A seven-year-old from St Petersburg, known for his programming tutorial videos, has received a job offer from Pro32 to become their head of corporate training. Although under Russian law, he cannot begin paid work until the age of 14, the company's CEO is in discussions with the child's family about potential collaboration until then. Sergey, who has garnered over 3,500 subscribers on his YouTube channel, is praised for his exceptional coding abilities and teaching skills, with comparisons being made to musical prodigies.

In the world of programming, a remarkable young talent has piqued interest in a Russian IT firm, with prospects of an early career.

A software company in Russia has recognized a coding prodigy, Sergey, from St Petersburg, extending a formal job offer for when he becomes eligible for work at age 14. This offer comes after Sergey, already notable for his YouTube channel where he teaches coding, has built a following by sharing his knowledge of programming languages and artificial intelligence concepts since he was five years old.

Pro32, the company extending the offer, has stated that even though Sergey cannot take on paid work right now due to legal restrictions, they are eager to find ways to collaborate during this interim period. Igor Mandik, the chief executive, expressed admiration for Sergey’s unique talents in both coding and teaching, likening him to a young Mozart. Mandik anticipates that when Sergey reaches the age of 14, he will not just be a skilled programmer but also an exceptional educator.

Sergey's father, Kirill, responded positively to the job offer, eager for his son’s future opportunities. With over 3,500 subscribers on his educational channel, Sergey’s enthusiasm and approachable teaching style appeal to a growing audience interested in programming and technology. While discussions about salary are premature, Pro32 emphasizes that they are excited for the prospect of having such a talent on their team in the years to come.
