  • 1:1 video calls
  • Virtual Technical Deep-Dive Sessions
  • Group Q&A sessions
  • Provide personalized support by addressing learner questions related to course content and projects.

  • For concept deep-dives, mentors will come prepared with a slide presentation that reviews a Nanodegree concept in more detail, share different use-cases for the concept to broaden student perspectives and understanding, and hold a Q&A session with the learners.
  • For project walkthroughs, a mentor will come prepared with a slide presentation that outlines each element of the rubric to help learners understand expectations and typical problem areas they may encounter. This can include a mentor “grading” a sample submission to demonstrate what mentors are looking for when reviewing projects.

  • Proficiency in containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes
  • Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and deployment automation tools
  • Familiarity with serverless architectures and AWS Lambda-based development
  • Knowledge of monitoring, logging, and observability tools including Amazon CloudWatch
  • Understanding of microservices architecture and scalable cloud deployments
  • Strong troubleshooting, automation, and problem-solving skills.

Benefits:

  • Make an impact by mentoring and contributing to a vibrant, global learning community
  • Showcase your expertise and gain recognition for your technical knowledge
  • Learn and network with our global community of mentors while staying ahead of the curve on cutting-edge technologies
  • Earn additional income with the flexibility to work on your own schedule
