- A weekly pair coding session with one or more teammates to help spread knowledge, work through a solution, or debug issues.--

- Working with internal users who use our ingestion products to help automate their processes and identify product improvements.

- Researching and learning about cutting edge tools like Kubernetes to build fast, reliable data ingestion for our customers.
