Contribute to our codebase, writing readable, performant code with scalability in mind
Complete your first project and deploy those changes to production systems

Get up-to-speed on our business model and participate with the Product Team in roadmap sessions

Within 12 months, you will:
Lead user-facing technical projects from start to finish, defining technical solutions & processes that level up the engineering team

Set best practices and contribute to our standards of technical documentation to maintain our commitment to building scalable systems
Ensure that customer feedback is taken into consideration during any/all feature planning
Contribute to interviewing and assessing candidates to help us build a diverse & talented team

Collaborate with customer-facing teams to define and implement primitives that will power a huge number of future Fastly products
Help to design, develop, and participate in a process for onboarding new engineers to the project, with a focus on mentorship and growth
