A day in the life
You will start your day checking operational health and engagement metrics for the services you own, then move into focused development on a feature or bug fix. The team swarms on stories together, so expect to pair with other engineers during design discussions or code reviews where your input helps shape direction. You will also spend time coordinating with product managers and technical program managers on upcoming priorities, and mentoring teammates on the systems you have built.
