About The Team

You’ll be joining the Product Planning team that is a part of Plan stage consisting of a globally distributed team where there is a culture of autonomy with guidance from the dedicated Product Manager and Engineer Manager. You will also be collaborating closely with other groups within the stage, especially Project Management on a regular basis along with the Principal Engineer in the team. Of course you’ll also get the chance to work directly with Product Design and Product Management counterparts from time to time.

How do we work together? It starts with milestones planned through collaboration between the PM and EM where we identify and schedule deliverables for a given milestone, additionally, we also like to plan a few milestones in advance and prepare an Issue Board containing a list of Issues for current and a few future milestones which team members can use to pick work from. This process allows for engineers to prioritise deliverables, as well as pick up extra work voluntarily.
