FLEXIBLE TECH

Promoting Versatility in Tech and Talent

Staff Engineer Danny Graham enjoys flexibility in his tech stack. At work, he gets to play with systems like Scala, k8 and RabbitMQ, which can ramp up to meet workload needs and wind down after. “These tools let us do more with less in an elegant way,” he explained. The versatility of its tech stack reflects ActionIQ’s ethos of experiment-based innovation, where developers are encouraged to present demos, join lunch and learn sessions and participate in the bi-annual hackathon. For those with such entrepreneurial inclination, “Bring your sense of adventure and curiosity,” Graham said.

Experimentation and innovation are culturally ingrained.

FLEXIBLE ROLES

Building The Bridge Between Data and Product

Data shapes business operations at ActionIQ, which makes Data Scientist Amanda Pogue’s embedded role unique on the product team. It’s part of the company’s goals of bringing product analytics to the forefront of product release, like the new customer-facing dashboard. “It gives me the opportunity to better enable the product and design teams to use data in their day-to-day,” she said. With her transition to product, Pogue gains better insight into the needs of the business and the product development process. It also presents an avenue to advocate for data projects in the product pipeline.

There is no shortage of interesting questions to investigate, and plenty of curious colleagues with whom to collaborate.

PIONEERING QA

Innovative Work Backed By High Quality Standards

As ActionIQ’s first embedded QA engineer, Tina Tyavlovskaya sought not only to replace the company’s third-party testing process but to shed the perception of QA as one that impedes progress. “QAs define quality standards across the engineering org and provide guidance on how to meet these standards,” she said. Moving QA in-house required a revamped strategy: a “priority-based test scope approach” with a mix of automated and commercial tools to meet team requirements and generate better coverage. There’s also the migration to Cypress, a more efficient tool for parallel testing and development.

QAs are not gatekeepers or bottlenecks in software development life cycles, but facilitators of constant integration and efficient testing processes.
