A day in the life

You start the day by finishing up the work you had in motion yesterday and pushing a CR for review. You notice a CR a teammate has submitted and provide them with feedback, suggesting a small change based on your knowledge of the system they are working with. At daily stand-up, you provide an update on your overall project, report what you're picking up today, and point out to a teammate that they should connect with a stakeholder to unblock themselves. After standup, you see someone has approved your CR so you kickoff the process to push code to production. You head over to a meeting discussing the teams initiatives to reduce technical debt, calling out some process improvements you believe would be helpful in stopping it from emerging in the first place and ensuring they are filed correctly to be evaluated for next sprint. After that, you head back to your desk where you finish your day with some heads-down time working on the stories that you had mentioned picking up at standup this morning.

About the team

Our team is intentional about attracting, developing, and retaining amazing talent from diverse backgrounds. Yes we do get to work on really cool services, but we also think a big reason for that is the inclusive and welcoming culture we try to cultivate every day. We're looking for a new teammate who is enthusiastic, empathetic, curious, motivated, reliable, and able to work effectively with a diverse team of peers; someone who will help us amplify the positive & inclusive team culture we've been building.
