• Build reusable libraries and tools to help the team move faster and write more reliable code.
• Contribute to tools used by the entire frontend organization. Introduce new approaches that we didn't know we needed.

Engineers at Bread also get the opportunity to participate in Working Groups!  Working Groups are quarterly teams of 4 to 6 engineers who set out to tackle a specific engineering initiative outside of their core engineering team.  Working Groups have included ones for Logging Architecture, Internal Authentication, Community & Blogs, Testing Infrastructure, and Monitoring. Groups meet every Friday to plan and own their roadmap and implement their features. All engineers get a chance to be in one of these groups and over time potentially lead a group for that quarter. It's another opportunity as an engineer at Bread to have impact across the entire organization!
