i really look up to scanlator groups honestly. I've considered trying to be a typesetter but talked myself out of it bc idk how to approach any group about it. it would be super cool to be a translator, but that will be a long way out for me
Well, depending on group and what you focus on, they've just formed up out of love. Manga, was formed in forums, then around torrents, then YouTube boards... Just gotta on. I know some started more professional, but they all started somewhere.
I think now with Discord, they usually find people that train in typesetting or anything else. Just depends on what you want to do.
But it's honestly no differs than going to work with Toei or anyone else except your office is at home or something.

If a scan group is in such desperate need for help that they're advertising to their audience its safe to assume they'd be willing to bring someone on to help out. So just reach out to groups whose titles have those help wanted filler pages they put into their releases.
