Hi,
We are the Data Platform Squad
And today we’ll tell you about how our squad work everyday.

We use Scrum as our Agile Methodology with 2-week sprints.
The reason of this short sprints is that we can deliver and get feedback from the users as fast as possible.

Although we have defined roles for each one, we are an autonomous team, where everyone is responsible for work in your tasks, provide approaches to solve and deliver the features.
We stimulate criativity, exploring news tools and techniques where they can find ways to make our day-to-day challenges more efficient and growing their own professional skills.

Part of our job is to communicate and align with others squads to provide what is most important for us: the business value to our clients.
The excitement part of this is that each challenge is a whole new page to write ourselves.

We can name some exciting things we are working:
UX, Figma, Python, Pandas, React, Redux, CI/CD, Product Development

But, you don’t have to hear just from the person who is writing this article.
Listen to the comments from our squad members:

“Being part of the Data Platform Squad is a way of implementing the most innovative technologies in our products, all team members are in great sync, each in their area of expertise: Back End, Front End and Design. By knowing each other very well, we have a huge mutual respect and the ability to grow together as a team by being sincere and empathetic”

Luciane Nagay, Frontend Developer

“Freedom of communication between teams brings a great learning opportunity, especially in topics such as data science and machine learning, teams interact a lot and are always willing to share knowledge.”

Ygor Barbosa, Senior Frontend Developer

“The freedom we have here in DP to interact directly with stakeholders and users makes all the difference in the design process in order to co-create an user-centric product.”

Dayvid Dario, UX Designer

“Proactiveness, diversification of thoughts and experiences among team members creates a favorable environment for the development of ideas and features. We are also encouraged to understand, own the business and try out solutions.”

Richard Kevin, Backend Developer

“We have great opportunity to develop our skills, learn something new and apply state-of-art technologies to our day-to-day work. This is what excites me the most working in Data Platform Team. The fun and collaborative environment each one brings makes the work lighter and motivating”
