“We’re not in the shipping business; we’re in the information business” -Peter Rose, Expeditors Founder

• How functionality and observability will be consistently provided across all platform services.

• Document, publish, and refine best practices and strategic guardrails (e.g. what must be in a request/response). 

• Define input to pipeline/infrastructure team.

   

Working on our team - what to expect

Team structure

You would be part of a small agile team.  The team typically has 5-6 Developers, 1 Developer-in-Test, a Product Owner, and a Scrum Master. There is also an Architect and a Program Manager that work with the team to identify and clear roadblocks and provide guidance on how the team's work can align with strategic objectives.

What a typical workday looks like

Outside of our short daily scrum meetings, Developers spend most of their time either developing, or collaborating with other team members. During each two-week sprint there are meetings for backlog refinement, sprint planning, a sprint demo, and a retrospective.
