Summer Residency Teaching Assistant
About The Position
We are looking for Software Engineering Teaching Assistants (TAs) to facilitate the smooth delivery of our rigorous summer residency program for rising juniors studying computer science. TAs, known as Engineering Managers (EMs) by the cohort, meet with a subgroup of students throughout the summer to lead workshops and demos, provide office hours, check-in on student progress, and provide mentorship as students work on projects and prepare to apply for SWE internships. TAs function both as instructors and as advisors, overseeing student projects that culminate in end-of-residency presentations. TAs work within either the Core or Lite student track. Core programming runs synchronously and follows a pre-determined weekly schedule with 9-5 adjacent hours.
