Our team understands and values work life balance. Most days, our entire team is co-located in the Dublin office, but support occasional remote work if needed. We generally keep core in-office hours from 10am to 4pm and provide flexibility for people to structure their working hours around them.
The role involves day time on-call responsibilities, typically once every 2-3 months. We don’t like to get paged in the middle of the night or on weekends; so we investigate operational gaps on a weekly basis, proactively root-cause issues and fix them for good.
Our team has a mixture of engineers from diverse backgrounds and tenures. We are dedicated to supporting new team members through on-boarding buddies and mentorship.
We try to assign projects based on each team member’s unique background and provide them opportunities to learn new skills to make them better rounded engineers. We celebrate knowledge sharing and encourage each member to participate and learn through team wide design reviews.
Our team is intentional in building a daily work environment where mutual respect, equity and positive recognition of differences are cultivated. We seek diverse perspectives in our team meetings and respect honest feedback to help us make effective decisions.
