Glasswall is currently pioneering our own ‘Squads and Maps’ Framework, focused on creating products with a good release cadence, delivering value/features to customers and in an environment where every team member makes a difference.
This Framework is inspired by the amazing ideas and concepts shared by: Spotify Squad Framework, Wardley Maps, Teams Topologies book, Inspired book and Cynefin Framework.
Along with our modern approach to Team and Communication structure and dynamics within our organisation, we are also sitting on a up to date and relevant Technology stack and are continuously reviewing and updateing how we work and what tools we leverage to ensure we stay on the forefront and embrace and adapt to the evolving landscape we operate in.
Products being built by these team are based on Serverless Functions or Containerisation running on Kubernetes.
- GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps yaml pipelines
- Pulumi, Terraform
- Datadog, ELK, Prometheus
- AWS Lambda, Azure Functions
- K8
- Kibana, Dashboards
- Python, c#, react, go
To make the process fair (i.e. avoid having to make initial selections based on traditional CVs) and to allow us to help all candidates (even if they are not successful), here is what we ask candidates to do:
- Create a presentation about themselves (see this, this or this for an example)
- Create a presentation with a Wardley Map (for example: about an industry, about you or even about a cup of coffee). In this presentation we also want to see the candidate’s experience of creating that map, the thought process and the learning experience. You can use this to help, click on Sample Map for an example.
- Provide a pseudocode description of a CI/CD pipeline for a Serverless function. Include builds and build steps, environments, deployments
- Provide a list of 5 generic metrics you would want to build visualisation on for a Serverless function product.
- Put all materials in a public or private GitHub/GitLab repo (bonus points for the use of CI/CD pipelines and releasing materials under a Creative Commons licence)
- Then apply at http://careers.glasswallsolutions.com/
We have three main objectives with this recruitment process:
- Make all candidates better by exposing them to modern ideas and workflows
- Create a learning opportunity for all candidates (which is one of the key metrics that we will be using when selecting the candidates)
- Create a fair process to find talent that otherwise would be missed
Please share this post with your network and help us to find amazing talent that wants to learn a lot and make a massive difference.
