A day in the life
eero is a small and lean team. This means you'll enjoy an outsized impact and the benefit of having many different responsibilities. All within a day you'll analyze stability of new features, request reproduction of a bug from QA, coach an engineer in a one on one, review a technical spec with the team, perform a code review, phone screen a candidate, prioritize incoming CX tickets, and collaborate with product and hardware teams on the feasibility of a new customer experience. This role has a little bit of everything which keeps it challenging and fun.
