Ever since Kinsta’s establishment, we have been focused on quality code. Not having investors and working on our own product has allowed us to use the latest technologies, and continuously refactor our code to make it better. One of the most effective tools in our arsenal is onboarding and continuous training which we would now like to take to a new level.
You will be tasked with expanding our existing training materials and applying them in the following areas:
- The onboarding and initial training of new team members to give them the necessary skills and domain knowledge.
- The efficient training of our code school pipeline where our goal is to find driven students and give them the tools they need to become great developers at Kinsta.
- The continuous training of all members of our existing team to help them grow in key areas.
- We strongly believe in ownership and pairing it with the power and freedom to practice that ownership fully. Instilling this philosophy is a large part of our training efforts.
Additional tasks that we see as part of a continuous training process:
- Participation in the review process across all projects.
- Tracking developer progression identifying bottlenecks and organizing training around them.
