About the role
We are looking for a Software Engineering Mentor who can guide students in building real, end-to-end projects and becoming industry-ready professionals. This is primarily a mentoring and technical guidance role — you'll spend most of your time coaching, reviewing, and unblocking students. Alongside this, you'll build quick proof-of-concepts (PoCs) and prototypes — for internal ideas, teaching demonstrations, or emerging tools — rather than owning full production development.
Key Responsibilities 1. Student Mentoring & Technical Guidance (Primary Focus)-
Guide students in building end-to-end projects using modern software development practices.
-
Conduct technical mentoring sessions, project reviews, and mock interviews to help students improve their coding, problem-solving, and communication skills.
-
Provide structured technical guidance that enables students to become industry-ready software professionals.
-
Help students strengthen their logical thinking, debugging abilities, and engineering mindset through practical learning.
-
Monitor student progress, identify learning gaps, and recommend personalized improvement strategies.
-
Build quick proof-of-concepts, prototypes, and demos to illustrate ideas, evaluate feasibility, or support teaching — not full production builds.
-
Leverage modern AI-assisted development platforms to rapidly prototype and validate concepts.
-
Translate ideas and operational challenges into small working demonstrations that communicate the art of the possible.
-
Use these PoCs as living teaching material to show students how real-world engineering decisions are made.
-
Support the planning and execution of hackathons, AI summits, workshops, and coding competitions.
-
Collaborate with placement and academic teams to understand evolving industry expectations and help students align with current hiring standards.
-
Contribute to technical documentation, learning resources, internal knowledge sharing, and engineering best practices.
-
Continuously explore emerging technologies, AI tools, automation platforms, and innovative development practices to bring fresh, relevant examples into mentorship.
-
Strong curiosity and enjoys solving meaningful technical problems.
-
Loves learning, building, and experimenting with emerging technologies.
-
Thinks beyond assigned tasks and proactively identifies opportunities for improvement.
-
Enjoys collaborating with people and communicating technical ideas clearly.
-
Growth mindset with a habit of continuous self-learning.
-
Comfortable taking ownership and delivering high-quality outcomes.
-
Enjoys mentoring others and celebrating their success.
-
Believes technology should simplify processes and create meaningful impact.
-
Thrives in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.
Candidates should possess a solid understanding of software development fundamentals, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills, along with a willingness to continuously learn emerging technologies.
Exposure to one or more of the following technology domains will be considered an advantage:
-
MERN Stack Development
-
Full-Stack Web Development
-
Java Full-Stack Development
-
Front-End Development
-
Back-End Development
-
