• Learn and apply basic mobile development concepts (React Native, iOS, Android) as needed for your team’s work
• Participate actively in code reviews: Incorporate feedback into your own work
• Ask clarifying questions to deepen your understanding of best practices
• Document your work clearly (comments, simple API docs, and basic wiki pages) so others can understand how your code works and how to use it
• Follow established architectural patterns and guidelines when implementing features, asking for help when requirements or designs are unclear
• Use existing client-side component libraries and patterns, and help identify opportunities to reuse rather than rewrite components
• Seek mentorship from more experienced engineers, being open to feedback and coaching
• Ask questions early and often to unblock yourself and ensure you’re building the right thing

• Break down your work into manageable steps with help from more senior engineers when needed
• Communicate clearly about your progress and blockers so the team can help you stay on track with sprint commitments

• Balance the desire to move quickly with the need to produce reliable, maintainable code, deferring to senior guidance when tradeoffs are unclear
• Contribute to innovation and continuous improvement
• Bring forward ideas for small improvements to the user experience, performance, or developer workflow
• Participate in experiments, spikes, and proof-of-concepts led by more experienced engineers, helping to implement and evaluate new approaches
• Suggest documentation or tooling improvements when you notice friction in your day-to-day work
• Take initiative in small ways—such as cleaning up code you touch, improving comments, or updating a wiki page—without waiting to be asked
