Onboarding
Here’s what your Week 1 will look like at WORKOPTI.
Day 1: Welcome + Access + Orientation
- Welcome call — team intro
- Confirm access: Entra ID, corporate email, GitHub, Basecamp, Azure DevOps, Azure read-only
- Read employee handbook and engineering handbook
- Understand company priorities, product overview, high-level architecture
- Get your local dev environment set up
Day 2-4: First Change
- Get local dev environment running (frontend, backend, database) — see Tech Stack and Infrastructure docs
- Get assigned a starter task to explore codebase and workflows
- Follow the Workflow doc: small PR, tests, orval regen if needed
- Get at least one review; deploy to dev and validate
- Goal is to get your dev environment, our PR process, and our review flow working end to end
Day 5: Review + Q&A
- Review your first PR with your engineering lead — what went well, what to adjust
- Open Q&A on the codebase: architecture, conventions, anything unclear from the week
- Debugging and observability: read Azure Monitor traces/metrics for a dev deploy

- Update docs when you learn something non-obvious
- Prefer paved paths over custom solutions until you’ve synced with the team
