  • Within 90 days, you will begin to solve more complex engineering problems and produce a series of content to complement that work in the form of blogs, video, meetup and conference talks.
  • You will help with the improvement of technical documentation by identifying missing pieces and providing improvements.
  • In collaboration with the other Dgraph Engineering teams, you will improve products by conveying feedback from developers, reviewing and contributing to API designs, writing production-ready code, and testing new features.
