Being a bod: Telyn Roat

At Researchbods we blend technology and sharp thinking to bring customers and brands closer, so what’s like like being a senior engineer? We got the latest scoop from Telyn Roat.

“When I joined as a mid-level software engineer in 2019 there were just 3 developers in the team – since then we’ve doubled that.

From day one my technical concerns and design considerations were heard & appreciated.

In my 2.5 years here I’ve seen a tonne of positive change in our working practices, from how we estimate & prepare work to how we plan a sprint & review it when it’s over. Everyone in the team, and more broadly the department, honestly cares about reducing friction and making the day-to-day better.

From day one my technical concerns and design considerations were heard & appreciated.

When we started out we were purely a Ruby-on-Rails house, and since then we’ve added C# and Python systems into the mix. At no point has anyone been expected to be an expert at everything, and we’ve all had the opportunity to contribute where we’re interested, learning new technologies, design patterns and testing methodologies along the way.”
