  Product Teammate

  We are the builder, thinkers, the foundation for our business. Our business exists to provide value primarily via software – and we have the tremendous honor of being the caretakers of the software. Our motto as Product People is; Continuously Deliver Value – that Clients and Partners Love – and works for the business.

  Full Description

  This Assignment is different. There is no specific accountability other than to uphold the principles and values that come with being a member of Product.

  We hold ourselves to a very high standard, and this Assignment is intended to be an acknowledgment of that fact. The things we all must do to call ourselves Product People.

  • We are experts of our Product...not just our squad's functional area
  • We are students of the game... meaning we see process not as a set of commandments to be followed, but as guidelines that help us achieve our actual goals. Speaking of goals...
  • We are knowledgable about our business... meaning we know enough about our business and the market in general to make informed decisions
  • We know this is a team sport... meaning collaboration is a skill we seek to hone every day
  • We are outcome-focused... meaning we don't seek to just build software... we seek to make a difference... to change human behavior and deliver real results.

  This is not all of what it means to be on Product... but, it is a solid start. As such every member of Product must have this Assignment, and in the spirit of the 80:20 rule, let's set this to 20% for all positions. It'll remind us that the growth framework does NOT aim to capture 100% of your time, energy, or thoughts. The hope is that setting 20% of your job description to being something that does NOT have an observable outcome, it'll reinforce this idea.

  Requirements

  • Must have a position with the reach of 1.1 or higher
  • For this role, you must be milestone 3 or greater inProduct Knowledge
  • For this role, you must be milestone 2 or greater inProcess Knowledge
  • For this role, you must be milestone 1 or greater inBusiness Knowledge

     Assignments:

    Code Reviewer

    We put teammates first by using code reviews as a way to help them continuously improve while continuously delivering value

    Full Description

    Code reviewers help in our quest to push quality to the left by giving actionable feedback on code including (but not limited to) the following areas:

    • Test Coverage
    • Performance
    • Security
    • Coding Conventions
    • Architectural patterns

    We put teammates first by using code reviews as a way to help them do their best work

    • We offer advice and resources to share knowledge and teach others
    • We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches
    • We aim to balance the number of PRs we create with the number of PRs we review

    Notes:
    As an engineer grows their engineering skills, they will be able to tackle larger and more complex code reviewers. A good guideline for what an engineer would be able to review successfully is to compare the complexity of a PR to their current ruby/rails milestones. Participating in code reviews for code at higher ruby/rails milestones is a great way to get more experience and grow, but having a more senior engineer to approve/act as a second set of eyes can be a good guardrail for safety.

    Requirements

    • Must have a position with the reach of 2.1 or higher
    • For this role, you must be milestone 2 or greater inCollaboration
    • For this role, you must be milestone 2 or greater inEngineering Communication
    • For this role, you must be milestone 1 or greater inData Modeling / Management
    • For this role, it is recommended to be milestone 1 or greater inEngineering Prioritization
    • For this role, you must be milestone 2 or greater inRuby
    • For this role, it is recommended to be milestone 2 or greater inRails
