Back end engineers solve the logistical and process problems of the business, and look for ways to use the data generated by the marketplace to improve future results.   A Day In The Life On any given day, a Software Engineer at Nana might: Code  - Working alone or with a PM, designer and other engineers, an engineer will spec out and implement new components and improvements to existing ones, in order to solve the business’ problems. They’ll figure out a solution, architect the system, and code the implementation. Deploy  - We deploy often, and engineers will shepherd their own work to production via our CI/CD pipeline when they are ready. Code Review  - Review each other’s code, helping to keep the team aligned on best practices and keeping easily spotted mistakes from making it out to production. Collaborate  - We are a team of engineers and for engineers, and so members of the team look forward to contributing their particular knowledge where it’s needed; we do this on our Wiki, in hybrid meetings and in Slack. And sometimes at lunch. Plan  - Participate in regular minimal team processes to keep abreast of priorities, communicate progress and blockers, and get to know their fellow hybrid team members.   About You Programming is a passion of yours and you take joy in crafting well-engineered solutions.
