Getting to know teammates, technology, and tactics. The first day will be spent partnering with your manager and a teammate to get your local environment set up and fixing a bug. The following 29 days will involve connecting with teammates across OurFamilyWizard and Cozi to gain a high-level understanding of how we prioritize, plan, build, and deliver value to families on our platform. You will build deeper connections with product and platform teammates as you get more immersed in the daily and weekly agile rituals, and the API guild. In these early days, your manager will set up recurring 1:1’s and begin the ongoing discussion of personal and team goals. Technical work will focus on gaining exposure to services within your team’s domain, as well as key areas of the platform beyond team boundaries where ownership is shared. By the end of your first month, you will be acclimated to the operating rhythm and rituals of your product team and gain confidence by taking on increasingly complex tasks.
Try, learn, ship. By day 60, you will be comfortable operating within our SDLC from planning through production releases. You will have a broad understanding of our backend architecture, and a deeper understanding of the services within your team’s area of ownership and the APIs that power our client experiences. Through weekly work that presents complex and varied challenges, you will continue becoming familiar with processes, patterns, and best practices. By releasing regularly, you will have an impact on end users.
Solidifying the foundation. Beyond the first couple of months, you will grow into an autonomous operator, capable of architecting solutions to complex problems that are consistent with our existing patterns and best practices with minimal supervision and support from others. You will partner with cross-functional engineering teammates, as well as your product manager, designer, and engineering manager to help build execution plans to build out new features that support our product and business strategy. The API is foundation for building delightful, value-adding experiences in our clients, and by day 90 as Sr. Java Engineer you will have the tools and confidence, to provide that foundational support for your product team.
Accelerate growth. With a solid foundational understanding of platform architecture, design patterns, and best practices you will have opportunities to inform and affect change at the platform level to further your ownership, impact, and growth. Through partnership with product and design you will be empowered to influence strategy and end-user experience and impact. Complex product problems, and technical challenges related to scale and modernization will present opportunities to establish yourself as a subject matter expert, expand your impact and ownership, and continue learning and growing as an engineer.
