Senior Software Engineer
Atlanta, Ga, Us
As the engineering lead for Landing Pages, I set the technical direction for a brand new Landing Pages feature. The team developed and launched a minimum viable product in just over three months without any major bugs. Landing Pages went on to become MailChimp’s fastest growing feature in two years.In this role I spent about 30% of my time writing code and 70% delivering features: collaborating with design to clarify and focus the product manager’s vision, working with the product manager to plan and scope work, turning the product manager’s vision into specifications for engineers, clearing a path for engineers when they got stuck through technical mentorship, replanning, etc.After releasing Landing Pages, I pitched an infrastructure team to tackle improving Mailchimp's background job runner in order to make it more stable, usable, and observable.
