Your projects

• Fix bugs from the Jira backlog, starting with small, well-defined tickets
• Refactor old modules when asked, keeping behaviour the same
• Pair with other engineers over screen share to work through tricky problems
• Add unit tests with pytest or Jest so new code does not lower coverage
• Present a short demo of your work to the team every two weeks
• Join the daily 15-minute standup on Google Meet and post a short written update in Slack
• Build REST API endpoints and document them in Postman or Swagger
