What you’ll do

• Develop maintainable, scalable, secure, and resilient services by:
  • Thoroughly understanding your tasks including the associated business needs, architectural and system interaction designs, and operational need. Such tasks tend to contain a lot of ambiguity and touch the most complex parts of a service.
  • Writing clean, human-readable code. Track and consistently apply the comments received on your code to future work.
  • Contributing to architectural design with an emphasis on complexity, performance, and maintainability.
  • Explaining comprehensive and automated unit, integration, and end-to-end tests; understanding appropriate use of each test type, the expression of maintenance of test data, and execution methods across all our environments.
• Own and support features, modules, and products by:
  • Being able to thoroughly explain and demonstrate how your product fits into the larger Hagerty ecosystem and how other services depend on it.
  • Thoroughly understanding upcoming epics and features of your product, helping product managers craft good feature definitions, and being able to explain them to less experienced engineers.
  • Helping to define key metrics that signal the health and performance of the product, monitoring them, and providing explanation for changes over time.
  • Actively practice troubleshooting and participate in the on‑call support rotation for team’s production services.
• Improve your skills as an engineer by:
  • Carefully researching 3rd party or designing new libraries/frameworks and evaluating their fit within our technology stack. You must be able to clearly describe under what conditions they should be used and just as importantly under which conditions they should not.
  • Learning to define inter‑service integration patterns that are easy to operate, flexible, and be able to clearly articulate the tradeoffs they make.
  • Learning the larger ecosystem that makes up your product and how to operate it efficiently, securely and in a scalable manner. The ecosystem contains things like the language runtime, the operating system, network intermediaries (e.g., load balancers, firewalls), and data storage technologies.
• Contribute to and engage in a collaborative environment by:
  • Being an active participant in all team activities: team ceremonies, banter, troubleshooting, design discussion, work breakdowns, etc.
  • Observing team practices and behaviors, working with your manager on ways to improve them, and explaining and modeling them.
  • Helping less experienced engineers effectively explore topics that are unfamiliar to them and participating in deliberate practice with them in those areas.
  • Helping teammates understand what it means to be good stewards of the products on which you are working.
• Practice and promote a growth mindset by:
  • Living and supporting a culture of continuous growth by taking what you have learned and coaching others. You are the trend‑setter for good habits and behaviors on the team. Others perceive your continual dedication to advancing the company and your own knowledge. It's not enough for you to simply learn, but you seek opportunities to teach others and get joy from developing others.
  • Understanding what the tech stack is, how to stay current within the stack, knowing the relevant history of the technology and why its evolved to present day, and reacting to changes in the technical landscape to help insulate the organization from negative externalities.
  • Understanding that failure is a necessary part of growth. Leverage your ability to fail fast to achieve the desired results. Make taking measured risks part of team culture. Regularly and openly share with others how your failures have led to growth.
