could you share the links?

could you share thouse links here?

so I guess you're structured on envs like dev -> cert -> next -> prod. u know, I was asking because QA most of the times is worth a team like data storage

Thanks Ákos!

*it

I know what i means Akos XD

It so incredible to learn about unfiltered views about Tech at Klarna !

@Matteo About QA: We don't have a dedicated QA team. The teams are responsible for testing their code, and before every Native Release, all teams has a manual testing period as well, and sign off about their Problem space. It's a pain in the ass, but so far that's the best that we can do. (Of course we have e2e tests in place as well)

Thanks Akos!

Thank you Akos!

Very insightful Akos, thank you!

thanks Akos for sharing

Thank you Àkos :)

ouch late

about QA: is there a team dedicated to it or the team is multidisciplinary about this aspect too? Maybe u have some qa-s environment, but do they count into your own accountability?

usually, how many time new developers needs to became productive on your pipelines according to Klarna standards?

Do you have end to end tests in place in your CI/CD pipelines? If yes, which tools/frameworks do you use to test react native apps end to end?

thanks Akos, very clear and interesting

What do you suggest to a Developer to get into "management" roles, are certifications like scrum master useful?

Hey Akon! :) I saw that Klarna has a design system. How do you enforce it on the designs/front-end?

+1 Simone.

great question Simone +1

How do yo make sure that the cross-team accountability in PRs approval does not become a bottleneck?

Have you already implemented or maybe considered using a microfrontend-like architecture? Or everything in the frontend sticks to the same UI framework?

huh, no elastic stacks around? no prometheus? grafana? :)

Do you contribute (or plan to do so) to the react native community with OSS packages?

Unfortunately Davide, this event is not recorded. However I am sure there will be more similar events coming up :) In the meantime - check out some of our tech talks on our youtube-channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMkNbnK12uda0nC1Zab8dpg/videos

nope, u r live

Sorry, I came late to the party :| Is all recorded?

thanks Alessandro

I would love to know if you could talk about what you look for in a potential candidate while hiring?

Sharing knowledge is most appreciate. Is there also specialized training (eg Java Certification)?

How are team organized when it comes to Designers, Product Managers, developers? How the decision making happens?

how do you manage continuous delivery?

Are there any horizontal team? How are teams coordinated towards business goals?

are there people managers who help engineers to step forward in their career paths?

How do you embrace failure as a team vs individual would you like to give an example?

Is it usual for an engineer to go to another startup or work in more than one startup, if needed?

Do you have some kind of learning path to align new developers to your standards?

do you have kind of back-end framework / frontend team? Maybe some things apply almost on every product and it's not worth reinventing the wheel

+1 Max c.

Do you as a Senior Software Engineer mentor new hires? How long would it take for a new hire to learn the rules of the Away team.

What about Agile values? Are team free to self-organize? Do they have all the competences in? etc

Which kind of challenges the ICT team must face when approaching a new market?

What a team comprises off as regards to roles?

+1 Gerard Q

How are the teams formed ? Is one team comprised of only engineers working in one area or is the team diverse.

looks like spotify's organization model, roughly speaking

Thank you for your answer. I'm more keen to understand at what stage developers are involved in contributing to business ideas?

Sorry I have to leave event. Thanks to all, it is very interesting for me. I hope to have more info by the organization...

+1 Ken

do you work in scrum or any other agile approach? How the daily work is organized? Do you make Standups, refinements etc.

+1 Nik

thanks

Do you cultivate Clean code, TDD or any other practices within engineering teams? Where do you strive to go fast and where quality is a first priority?

thank you so much Antonio for sharing :)

busness analist --> BA

what does BA will do with generated code? maybe I missed something?

is klarna main business fully related to Payment methods? do you manage also different fields of research?

As a developer whom do you collaborate with on day-to-day base?

very interesting flow, a system of microservices, splitting the engine to safe managed problems, all automated with no complexity from the user side

Thanks for your answer Carolin.

have you tried drools?

Going one level higher; Does a dry-run/report-only mode for the engine make sense? Is this something you have considered?

How will you control versions of the rules syntax (Python 3.x, ...)

How about the security? Injecting python code into a system considered unsafe sometime (maybe)?

What about Go, Rust?

is there some of this software on public repos? (eg. Github)

Are created rules have shared ownership between data analysts team? Is there any review before the rule is accepted? Something similar to a pull request reviews but for added rules?

Also How can we add lots of rules if needed?

Is this builder keyboard friendly for experieced users?

Why you don't use a solution kind of firestore rules and keep them on a NoSQL db

Hey Antonio! I see the risk analysis module is broke down into several microservices. Does that mean a user has to wait for sometime before his/her request is approved/rejected?

How similar is this to Red Hat's Business Central?

+1 for Eledi's question

funny video but so real

+1 for Eledi's question

Do you have opportunities to work remotely with Klarna as software developer?
