Challenging Growth, Junior Team
Challenging Growth, Junior Team
- Fast business growth.
- Lots of interesting technical challenges to solve to keep pace with growth.
- Well-designed and useful product.
For the last couple years, the engineering team has skewed pretty junior. This means the team is energetic and hard-working but prone to make poor design and architectural decisions. The few senior engineers have been given a lot of responsibility but are stretched pretty thin as a result.
The recruiting and management teams have been focusing on hiring more senior engineers for the past six months, and we are making good progress towards building out the eng team with more senior devs. The company is doing a decent job going through the often-painful process of changing from a scrappy startup to a more mature business.
