About HI Labs
HI Labs is building serious, outcome-focused technology education programs for students who want to become industry-ready software engineers.
Our programs focus on strong computer science fundamentals, practical software development, AI-native engineering practices, real-world projects, discipline, and internship readiness.
We believe students should not simply learn how to write code. They should understand how and why software works, develop strong problem-solving abilities, and learn to approach challenges with an engineering mindset.
About the Role
We are looking for a Software Mentor / Faculty Trainee who is passionate about software development, enjoys helping others learn, and wants to build strong capabilities in both software engineering and technical mentoring.
As a Software Mentor Trainee, you will work closely with students and the academic team to support learners in understanding programming, computer science fundamentals, software development concepts, assignments, and projects.
This is not a conventional coding trainer role. You will be expected to develop a deep understanding of technical concepts and gradually learn how to explain them clearly, guide students through problems, review their work, and connect theoretical knowledge with practical software development.
This opportunity is suitable for fresh graduates, recent graduates, and candidates with 0–2 years of experience who have strong technical fundamentals and an interest in teaching, mentoring, and software development.
