Senior Software Engineer at Taro Communitya month ago

I am transitioning from a fintech background to a senior telemetry engineer role on an autopilot (self-driving) team. I would greatly appreciate any advice or tips on how to excel in this new position. Are there specific technical skills, workflows, or strategies that you would recommend focusing on to perform well?

    Since you're transitioning from one domain into something quite different, I'd recommend the coding section of the onboarding course: How To NOT Learn A Codebase

    I don't know enough about the Senior Telemetry Engineer role (sounds cool though!), but I'll share the proven playbook for strong onboarding in a new company which I call the Talk & Observe framework. Basically, you should:

    • Talk with various people on the team to learn what they do and what you need to know.
    • Observe how others operate at the company by studying the artifacts of their work. As engineers, we naturally have tons of markers of our progress.
