Being a Backend Engineer at Mercadona Tech
We like to say that we, engineers, are product-minded engineers. We don't see technology as a goal but as a means to achieve our goals, which is Selling Lettuce (Vendiendo Lechugas). This mindset makes us participate in all the process stages and collaborate with other roles such as Product Managers, Product Designers, or Operations Managers, not just implementing the solution. Because we also like to say that we are data-driven, we have access to relevant data that lead us to make decisions. This makes us aware of what exact impact has had on what specific action we did as individuals and as a team.
All we do are feedback loops so we are always looking for ways to maximize these while minimizing its size and cost. We embrace Lean Software Development and Extreme Programming principles and practices like Pair Programming, TDD, Small Safe Steps, etc. to keep things simple and avoid overengineering.
