What does day-to-day life in your role look like?
My typical day starts with attending morning stand ups with my pod and then the wider Application Development Team to sync our progress and raise any issues I might have. After that, I crack on with various tickets improving Vortexa’s public and internal platforms. Every once in a while I meet with analysts to gather valuable feedback on how we can make the user experience of our platforms even better.
What would you say is the most interesting aspect of your role?
I’d say the variety of technologies I get to work with is the most interesting part. As a recent graduate, I’m getting exposure to different sections of the entire software development process. It’s also great to learn how to write code that’s up to an industry standard.
What was your path to joining Vortexa?
I went job hunting after graduating with my master’s degree, found Vortexa’s job post on LinkedIn and applied. A recruiter made contact and gave me a brief introduction of the company and the platform. I then went through two rounds of technical interviews and one round of behavioural interview. When Vortexa made me an offer I decided to take it because out of the many companies I interviewed with at that time, Vortexa’s recruiters were the only ones who made me feel like the interview process is a collaboration, not just a test.
What kind of qualities does a person need to have to succeed at Vortexa?
A strong interest in learning and improving your skills. Being a good team player and willing to support your colleagues. Also knowing when to ask for help if you need it.
