Engineering Culture:
Victor’s
engineering culture is based on trust and respect for teammates,
constant democratisation of knowledge and decisions and a sharp focus on
business goals. We try hard, individually and as a team, to foster and
nurture this culture. Our development methodology is agile and
responsive to business needs. We have a very well defined way of how a
new idea/feature is delivered right from inception to production. We
have a flat organisational structure and a decentralised way of making
technology decision which gives each team members to incorporate their
ideas into the product after due peer review process. Peer reviews are
seen by both reviewer and reviewee as an opportunity to learn and share.
Tech Jamborees
Towards
democratisation of knowledge, we hold tech jamborees every friday where
a team member can share a particular piece of knowledge or part of
stack they have been working on to the rest of the team. The tech
jamborees are also an opportunity to share other cool things team
members may have been learning inside or outside of work. This may range
from robotics to the latest UI framework to any tinkerings with some
machine learning libraries. This is an open forum to share knowledge and
celebrate technology in general.
Victor Hackdays
We
conduct hackdays quarterly where the whole team gathers together and
spend the whole day hacking on stuff they always wanted to do in
technology space, inside or outside work. This is a fairly new
initiative and in the future we plan to have themed hackdays for various
parts of the business or even technology themes such as AI, ML and Deep
learning. Hackdays are a great way to own a problem statement and give
the solution a shape within a day. It is also a time to get to know your
team better. In future, we will be extending hackday invitations to
people outside the organisation. Pizza and Beer - the cornerstones of a
great hackday, are a given :)
