What a new engineer does in the first week.
Accounts, laptop, and access requests. The checklist is in the wiki and takes about two hours.
Local environment setup. The bootstrap script installs everything the service needs to run in development mode.
First pull request: a small fix with a test, reviewed within the day.
| Milestone | Owner | Done when |
|---|---|---|
| accounts | IT | all systems reachable |
| dev env | mentor | service runs locally |
| first PR | buddy | merged to main |
| on-call shadow | team | one incident observed |
The new engineer joins the rotation as a shadow, then a secondary, then a primary within one quarter.
