🪴 This is great news and we want to help you grow! (no pun intended). Should be hiring in this category… your contribution will put you a huge step ahead of other applicants.
This page will look into the best way to incorporate you as a regular member of the team under the direction of our technical lead. If you are more interested in simply building cool stuff and showing it off please check out → I just want to build cool stuff!
From here we suggest you self-assess yourself according to the following steps:
Step #1: Self assess your skill level:
In the collapsed area there is a table with our a learning path that we have laid out. Following it is not mandatory but it provides a rough checklist of how to get up to speed!
Self-assess your skill level
I am… | Characteristics may include.. | LiteFarm Onboarding Path | Intangibles |
|---|
A complete newbie | | JS Bootcamp recommendation Secondary interest bootcamp recommendation Mentor check-ins → Stack Journey: Junior Dev Path
| Mentorship Networking |
A junior developer | | → Stack Journey: Junior Dev Path LiteFarm local running LiteFarm development processes (github, testing ,linting, etc) Guided stack journey through Jira tickets and ticket review Mentor check-ins Mentor opportunities Education suggestions
| Job references Job hunt help Mentorship Networking |
An intermediate developer | Developing on a production codebase for several years In a position to mentor juniors Likely familiar with at least some of the stack
| → Stack Journey: Accelerated Junior Dev Path Mentorship responsibilities Guided interest specialisation (CI/CD, testing, db architecture, frontend, api, server etc) Education opportunities
| Mentor opportunities Leadership opportunities Networking |
A senior developer | Developing on a production codebase for many years In a position to mentor intermediates Likely familiar with at least some of the stack
| → Stack Journey: Accelerated intermediate path Guided full-stack specialisation Mentorship responsibilities Leadership opportunities
| Mentor opportunities Leadership opportunities Operations opportunities Networking |
Step #2 Get Jira tickets according to the guided stack journey
In the collapsed area below is a table with an informal checklist of things to learn about LiteFarm and programming. The “type/review” means both creation of the code and review of others code of same type.
I think a true understanding of what this stack journey should look like will come from sorting and categorising Jira tickets.
