Job description

Newton School of Technology (NST) is a new-age institution redefining technical education in India. Founded by IIT alumni, NST offers a 4-year B. Tech in Computer Science and AI, focused on hands‑on learning and deep industry integration. Within two years, over 93% of students have secured paid internships with companies like Razorpay, SarvamAI, and DRDO, along with global exposure through tech treks to Singapore and Silicon Valley. Led by a distinguished faculty comprising ICPC World Finalists and ex-professionals from ISRO, Microsoft, MakeMyTrip, and several other leading tech organizations, NST is building a scalable, high‑impact model that produces industry‑ready talent for the world’s most advanced technology roles.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a passionate and experienced Software Development Engineer who brings deep expertise in Software Engineering, System Design, and Scalable Architecture. This role is perfect for someone who not only enjoys building robust systems but also finds purpose in mentoring the next generation of engineers.

As part of our Computer Science Department, you’ll blend real‑world engineering experience with academic impact. You’ll design and deliver courses on Software Development, System Design, Data Structures & Algorithms, and other core computer science subjects. You’ll also play a key role in shaping the curriculum, mentoring students, and collaborating with academic and industry partners to ensure our programs stay aligned with the latest technologies and best practices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Course Development & Delivery: Design and teach engaging lectures and practical sessions covering Software Development, System Design, OOP, Design Patterns, and Distributed Systems.
• Lab Management: Lead coding and design labs where students can apply theoretical concepts through hands‑on exercises.
• Technical Mentorship: Guide students through complete project lifecycles — from requirements and architecture to development, testing, and deployment.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work with faculty, industry mentors, and curriculum designers to keep our software engineering courses relevant and forward‑looking.
• Academic Excellence & Student Success: Provide mentorship, review projects, and support student growth through feedback and structured assessments.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with university leadership and industry partners to drive innovation in teaching and curriculum development.
• Research & Innovation: Motivate students to explore research areas, open‑source contributions, and new technologies through projects and collaborations.
