What are your main responsibilities in your current role?
My main responsibilities are working on new features for customers or enhancing current ones. It's a very collaborative role, so I work a lot with other members on my team.
This usually involves some pair programming, as well as helping our customer support team with issues that our customers might bring to us. It's also a lot of addressing bugs and attending meetings on new initiatives.
Honestly, one thing that I think people don't really realize is how collaborative software engineering is. I'm always working with somebody on something, and I think that's a really fun thing.
