Posted on Developer Open Roles board here.
Who we are: The Engineering Community of Practice is a group of software engineers and technologists who are trying to make a positive impact on local communities and hone their professional skills. As a subset of Hack for LA (HfLA), we exchange information on Slack and meet once a week to network, discuss career goals, exchange knowledge, and have industry professionals share their experience with us.
About the Mentor Role: Most Hack for LA engineering volunteers are junior level and need help and guidance on their projects, best practices, and career development. The role of our mentors is to engage with other engineers on Slack and at our monthly Mentor Night meeting to answer questions and empower those looking to start a new career, switch careers, or who just want deeper knowledge.
