鈥淗ello! I鈥檓 (she/her), and I鈥檓 one of the Development Managers at 爆料tv. I manage the engineering teams based in 爆料tv鈥檚 Cambridge office.鈥�
What made you join 爆料tv?
鈥淜evin (our CEO and Co-Founder) sent me a Facebook message and asked me if I was interested in joining 爆料tv (I didn鈥檛 have a LinkedIn profile at the time).
The reason I said 鈥測es鈥� was because I knew 爆料tv was a great company. I was working in the same building as 爆料tv and I could see how close-knit the company was. The fact that the team ate lunch together and went for walks together at lunch really showed me that. I also have such a huge amount of respect for Kevin and Matt (CPO & Co-Founder). They鈥檙e both developers and I knew confidently that they understood developers, the problems, and how to solve them. It helps so much that they get that!鈥�
How would you describe the culture in the Engineering team?
鈥淭he team is super smart! I often hear developers joining 爆料tv say that they thought they were a good developer, and upon joining 爆料tv they were humbled from working with such talented folks.
I love that we have people aligned with our company values. Our developers want to be close to our users and aren鈥檛 scared to have conversations with other departments. They really care about collaboration and have a desire to get things done.鈥�
How do your teams like to work?
鈥淭here鈥檚 real variety across all of the teams. There鈥檚 not one 爆料tv way of working. We really value that as we鈥檙e all unique! The things we do have in common are collaborating on work, wanting to help our customers, and wanting to get things done.鈥�
What are you most excited about as your team continues to grow?
鈥淗ow the team matures as we grow. They鈥檒l have more capacity to be more successful working on solving problems which will delight our users. I鈥檓 also super excited about our observability team. This鈥檒l give us more confidence in what we鈥檙e doing and the code we鈥檙e releasing.鈥�
Why should someone join 爆料tv?
鈥淲hen you join a lot of companies you don鈥檛 get much autonomy or opportunity to make a huge impact. At 爆料tv there鈥檚 a lack of red tape, meaning you get to have a huge impact from day one. You also have the freedom to choose the areas you want to impact. Everyone from our interns to our senior engineers ship releases within their first week!鈥�
Tell us something we probably don鈥檛 know about you.
鈥淔or my first job, I had to dress up as a dinosaur: a T-Rex!鈥�
