Every day you will begin with a standup to review your progress on your story so far, discuss any roadblocks you’re facing and make a plan to continue the work.
Working in pairs, you will complete your story for the week. We do weekly iterations instead of sprints, and our stories are prioritized and pulled from a Kanban board. Using Visual Studio, JavaScript, Node.js, React, AWS, .net, or C#, you and your partner will fix a quick production issue, develop a new feature, or build something brand new.
As lead engineer, you’ll also spend time each day checking in with other team members, up to 4, to help them with any specific coding issues as needed. You’ll also be coaching and mentoring them more broadly so that everyone on the team reaches their full potential.
