Role progression

• First month: We'll get to know each other! You’ll understand the user problems and priorities and see how our platform can support them. You'll set up and service your development environment and be able to run the entire app and critical workflows locally. Not only that, but you'll also start handling tickets and small requests.
• Second month: You'll deepen your understanding of user pain points and start to form an opinion on necessary improvements in the codebase. Share these insights with the Software Development Manager. Expect an increasing workload, and start providing more input on building complex functionality.
• Third month: You’ll be fully ramped up and working at full capacity! You'll share your opinions, mentor junior team members, and independently execute and break down tasks for yourself. Now's the time to start proposing technical investments and improvements. Time to innovate!
