Engineering onboarding

From new hire to
first impact.

Connected code, docs, and decisions help new engineers understand the system—and work toward their first contribution in week one.

I’m new here. How does sign-in work?

Here’s how it fits together.

The gateway sends requests to the identity service, which verifies the user and creates a session. The code shows how it works. The architecture decision explains why.

One connected view of the code, the decisions, and the work ahead.

A first-week path to impact

Get up to speed.
Then move things forward.

Less time piecing together scattered knowledge. More time learning by doing, with the context to ask informed questions and make a well-scoped change.

  1. Day 1

    Find your bearings.

    Understand how services fit together, follow a request through the code, and find the team behind each part of the system.

  2. Days 2–3

    Understand the why.

    Ask about architecture, conventions, and trade-offs. Trace the answer back to the decision, document, or change that explains it.

  3. Days 4–5

    Make your first change.

    Pick up a scoped ticket with the relevant code, tests, and acceptance criteria already connected. Open a pull request with confidence.

An example first-week plan. Scope the first contribution with your team; code review and release approvals stay in place.

Shorten the path to first impact

New to the team.
Not starting from zero.

Give every engineer access to the understanding your team has already built.
