It’s nice to have someone to communicate with in this way, since I work remotely and haven’t actually met any of my team in person! In the afternoon, I tend to have a few more meetings, or I often pair with someone in our team and work through a certain task or issue together. I usually eat at my desk though – I’m new to the world of commerce and take every chance to do additional reading or watch something that’s related to the field. I take a half-hour break around noon and grab a few minutes with my mom and son while heating up some food for lunch. It’ll also make things more secure, so it’s a really great project to be part of. We have a lot of dependencies with other services and this new gateway will help us integrate with them more easily. We’re also in the process of developing a middle layer between our frontend and backend services – a sort of gateway service that means frontend won’t ever have to deal with backend directly. And right now, we’re improving our operations ahead of opening up in new markets – getting ourselves ready for the increased traffic and making sure we’ve got all the right learnings and monitoring in place for this exciting new phase. Our main product is a wallet that allows creators to add credit cards as payment. I’ve been at Spotify six months now, working as part of a big team that deals with commerce-related projects. But I’m becoming ‘T-shaped’ – which means gaining a broad knowledge of certain areas and doing some frontend work too – and I really like the variety that brings. I’m a full-stack engineer, focussing mostly on the backend. At 8am, I drive my daughter to preschool, while my mom looks after my one-year-old son – she’s been living with us since the start of the pandemic and has been a huge help when it comes to family life and childcare.īack home after drop-off, I make myself a nice coffee, head to the home office we’ve built in our backyard and get started on my working day.
My early mornings are spent running about after my children – getting them dressed, giving them breakfast and putting on their sunscreen, so they’re all ready for the day ahead. But she lives thousands of miles away in Austin, Texas – with her husband, mother and two young children.
