- Balanced Independence and Support: Don’t worry—it’s not all on your shoulders. While you'll have the freedom to be fully independent where you want, you’ll also have access to a full team of cross-domain experts to support you when you need it.
What will you be working on?
- Behavioural Economics → Redefine Productivity: Investigate when engineers are most productive and create metrics that integrate system performance with developer satisfaction and work-life balance.
