About the Role

At Datavalley, we are hiring a Lead Technical Mentor for our Full Stack track - someone who has built and shipped real applications using Java/Spring Boot and the MERN stack and can now mentor freshers to do the same.

This is not a classroom lecturing role. You will run the cohort like a real engineering team - daily standups, code reviews, sprint planning on JIRA, Git discipline and end-to-end project delivery. Your success is measured by placement outcomes, not syllabus completion.

What You Will Do

Lead technical training and mentor candidates throughout the intensive program.
Deliver hands-on training across the Java Full Stack (Java, Spring Boot, Hibernate, Microservices) and MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) & Nextjs
Guide students through real-world project delivery: e-commerce platforms, task management systems, REST APIs, chat applications, admin dashboards.
Conduct daily code reviews - teach clean code, SOLID principles, proper error handling and why naming matters.
Enforce Git hygiene, documentation standards and README-driven development. Every student graduates with a GitHub portfolio of 3+ documented projects.
Run the cohort like a real dev team: daily standups, sprint planning, JIRA tickets, retrospectives.
Discuss the fundamentals of system design and high-level design (HLD).
Teach deployment fundamentals - students must understand how code moves from localhost to a live server.
Collaborate with the placement team and Career Readiness Coach to ensure students crack technical interviews.

Must Have

Understanding of CI/CD, Docker basics and deployment to cloud (AWS/GCP/Azure - any one).
Ability to teach System Design / High-Level Design for interview preparation.
At least one end-to-end application built and deployed to production (not just tutorials or personal projects).
