Engineering at Peek
Our team works in two-week sprints. We start the sprint with a planning session, we have daily standups every morning and the sprint ends with a sprint review and retrospective. We do demos every week - product demos at the end of the sprint and tech demos on the week in-between. Engineers collaborate closely with product managers, designers, QA and DevOps engineers. Engineers will work on projects together or solo, and sometimes engineers will pair program. Every code change goes through a peer review and gets regression-tested through test automation. We release multiple times a day. Engineers have a lot of influence over the tools and technologies we use.
