J'ai continué à enseigner à l'Institut français jusqu'à ce que j'aie l'idée de créer le podcast innerFrench. À ce moment-là, une nouvelle aventure a commencé.

The subjunctive follows « jusqu'à ce que », which is just something to memorise, as well as you have to memorise that it follows « pour que », and other such locutions. See this reference for a useful list: Banque de dépannage linguistique.
