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.

2. Proof-of-Concept & Prototype Development (Supporting Focus)

- 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.

3. Events & Cross-Team Collaboration

- 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.

What We're Looking For

- 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.

Technical Skills 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
- AI-Assisted Software Development
- Generative AI & Prompt Engineering
- Workflow Automation & Low-Code/No-Code Platforms
- REST API Development
- Database Design & Management
- Version Control & Collaborative Development
- Cloud Platforms & Application Deployment

Career Progression You'll receive structured guidance, work on real organizational initiatives, collaborate with cross-functional teams, gain hands-on experience solving practical challenges, and gradually take ownership of meaningful responsibilities.

High-performing who demonstrate strong technical capability, problem-solving skills, ownership, communication, collaboration,



and cultural alignment will be considered for full time employment opportunities at NIAT.
