You will have already met your onboarding buddy and the team. To start giving value to the team, you will have your work environment prepared and all the necessary permits. You saw the system in action and started it locally. With all this, you can start taking some small features to get familiar with your team's part of the system.
Tus responsabilidades
End-to-end building, developing and deploying of financial services.
Using a functional style of programming, simple, maintainable, idiomatic and high-quality code,
Creating & conducting tests.
Owning problems within your team’s domain.
Collaborating with multiple teams within a clean architecture paradigm.
Being fully involved in building a great product.
¿Cómo lo harás?
Although they are more than 70 people in the Engineering Team, they are divided in small teams. This division is based on product domains, not technical ones. For example, they have a team for the customer dashboard, another one for the card products,... And all these domains impact in all the products that they have.
Every domain specific team consists of:
- 4-6 Developers, including a Tech Lead
- 1-2 QAs
- 1 Product Manager
DevOps and Delivery are handled by the team. They promote the motto "You build it, you run it". However, there is a System&Operability Team who works on low-level infrastructure and can help you with any challenge.
If the backlog of a team is too big, and they have too much work, they don’t increase the number of people in the team. What they do is split the responsibilities and the domain of the team into two different teams.
Everyone is invited to have product and business discussions with the product managers, so that they can suggest ideas and get involved in the features’ improvements.
One important thing is that the teams are independent and self-governed, so they can make their own decisions in terms of how to solve a problem, the technology they use, the core hours or the perfect time for the daily meetings. And, as a data centric company, in order to make the decisions, the data is open to everyone, and they can see service dashboards in Metabase.
But of course, it doesn’t mean that the team is alone. In Intergiro there’s a very flat structure and all the Chief Officers are open to discuss anything with the team. And also, there’s a lot of communication, mostly asynchronous one. They prefer to use Slack more than calls to communicate. Every Friday there’s the CEO message where he shares the latest news, and once per month, they have an all hands meeting where they share company news and new feature releases.
And belonging to the Engineering Team, the Engineering Managers will also help the Dev Teams, taking care of the career development and the 1:1s and all the people related questions.
¿Cuándo trabajarás?
The Intergiro’s team is flexible, fully remote and fully distributed. You are in control of your personal life, and the only way to achieve it is having flexible working hours.
They believe in async communication, and every team coordinates themselves on the core hours to be online.
