Staff+ Engineer: Problem Solving Stories
Staff Software Engineer at Roblox2 months ago
I would love to hear problem-solving stories from the Staff and Principal Engineers on here, that illustrate:
- How you spotted a problem and went about assessing the impact of solving it
- how you went about solving the problem, (optional: how you managed the execution)
- how the buy-in happened
Answering this would help a lot of us staff and SWEs understand the scale and size of problem solving at this level. Not to mention inspire us to do similar things!
