Dig in to learn the details of how your systems and software work, do this by getting local dev resources set up, reading docs/diagrams, etc. Start to get to know people, and focus on learning about them and what they do. Don't start immediately dispensing wisdom / advice / opinions unless asked, take time to really understand what has come before you. At the same time, be helpful to build rapport, if you see someone more junior post a trivial problem on Slack (ie: "getting this error in Docker..") then jump in to help. Take notes, and make onboarding better for the next person. Are the onboarding docs unclear? is setting up a dev-env the first time somewhat convoluted? Make meaningful and appreciated improvements. Learn about the product, the customer experience, and be a user of the product to the best of your ability. Make contact with customer support folks as well to learn more about their jobs, pain points they see, etc. |
