ABOUT US

Rishihood University

Rishihood University (RU) has been established under The Haryana Private Universities (Amendment) Act, 2020 and is empowered to award degree as specified in section 22 of UGC Act, 1956.

Rishihood University is India’s first and only impact university. ‘Impact’ is the living spirit of Rishihood. The purpose of education envisioned by the thought leaders of our civilization and that which has motivated the founders to build Rishihood University is beyond just awarding degrees and jobs. The purpose of education is to achieve the highest potential in a learner i.e., Rishihood. Rishihood University provides a unique mix of globally relevant education that is rooted in Indian ideas, quality education that is affordable, and a multi-disciplinary exposure with cutting edge skills of a specialist. To achieve this outcome, education cannot be limited to within the classrooms. RU is a fully residential campus where living and learning seamlessly integrate throughout the day. RU faculty and learners have an active participation with society, industry, researchers, entrepreneurs, and policy makers. This keeps the learning at RU focused on solving the biggest challenges faced by humanity and prepares our learners for the real world. It is time India builds universities driven by a higher purpose, that have a strong committed board to back it, that redefine the way education is imparted both within and outside the classroom. Rishihood is a bold initiative to fulfil this idea. Hence, we are looking for like-minded founding faculty members at Rishihood University.

About Position

Track | CS Foundations

Data Structures and Algorithms • Object Oriented Programming (C++) • Python Foundation

Someone once taught you why a linked list beats an array in certain conditions, and something clicked. That moment of clarity, when the why behind the code finally lands, is exactly what we are trying to create at scale for every student who walks through our doors. We need the person who can make that happen.

You will join Rishihood as a Faculty with full teaching ownership of the Core Software Engineering track. This is the bedrock of the programme. As you grow, you will take on Track Lead responsibilities: defining curriculum direction, building the faculty team, and connecting with industry to bring real problems into the classroom. You will not be executing someone else's vision. You will be building your own.






Requirements


Key Responsibilities

  • Teach DSA, OOP in C++, and Python going deep on the why, not just the what
  • Design labs where students implement data structures from scratch and learn what efficiency means in practice
  • Run monthly demo days and structured critique sessions that build honest self-assessment
  • Lead the competitive programming cell, grooming students for benchmarks like ACM ICPC and GSoC
  • Own the CS Foundations curriculum as Track Lead, hire junior faculty, and set the academic bar for this track.


Job Specifications

· You should hold an MTech, PhD, or equivalent in a relevant field. Beyond the degree, here is what we actually care about.

Technical Depth

· Expert level command over DSA: complexity analysis, dynamic programming, and graph theory. You solve hard problems yourself, not just teach them from a slide

· Deep C++ OOP: memory management, pointers, STL, polymorphism, and the design patterns that separate understanding from familiarity

· Strong Python fluency and solid grasp of Low Level Design (LLD) and system design at an architectural level

The Person

· You treat teaching as a craft, take ownership proactively, and are comfortable with structured critique of your students' work and your own

· You have the patience for a student genuinely struggling, and the honesty to push the one who is coasting

Good to Have

· Competitive coding background on Codeforces or LeetCode (Guardian or Knight level), or past ACM ICPC participation

· Open source contributions to C++ or Python ecosystems; industry experience as a Lead Developer or Software Architect

This job description is not intended to be all-inclusive. The employee may be expected to perform other duties as assigned by the supervisor.
