I joined Altruist at the very beginning of its startup life. With a small team, we built a foundation on which it has become one of the fastest-growing financial startups in the US.
There were numerous challenges over these years. The list of initiatives where I played one of the key roles:
• Web app UI architecture;
• Set of various initial features to create a minimum loveable product (account opening, funds management, trading, etc.);
• Move money authorization feature;
• Account opening flow;
• Integration with 3rd party services (document signing, bank authorizations, clearing providers, etc.);
• etc.
Another part of my responsibilities is leading a group of teams. As a group leader:
• I work across multiple teams to improve collaboration between them;
• Organizing knowledge sharing and training sessions;
• Mentoring other developers and team leads;
• Design reviews;
• Re-evaluating existing approaches and flows. Adopting the most successful practices;
• etc.
