Introduction

Software Engineer I engineers are at the start of their software engineering careers. They have a good conceptual understanding of either CS or application development fundamentals, typically derived from an undergrad degree, development bootcamp, work in a related field, or an extended period of self-learning. IC1s can take on well-scoped improvements, tasks of larger projects, or specific bugs and deliver these on time and with high quality. They may require guidance from more established engineers and feel comfortable seeking help. They can collaborate well within their team and are receptive to code review feedback. They demonstrate an appreciation for good software development practices and are quick to pick up Optimizely’s software design patterns. The emphasis for our IC1 engineers is on growth: blossoming software skills, familiarity with ADEPT software development processes, learning Optimizely’s products, and budding mastery of their technical or product area of focus.
