Q&A

How the Jobandtalent Engineering team is structured?

• What we call "Product Team" includes the Product & Design, Tech, and Data.
• Product & Design all the Product Owners and Designers that belong to the different Product Features teams (cross-functional teams that take care of some specific parts of the product).
• Tech includes all the main engineering profiles and guilds, such as Backend, Frontend, Android, iOS, and Platform. The majority of them are embedded into the Product Features teams to create our extremely independent and cross-functional teams.
• Data includes three different teams, namely Data Analytics, Data Science, and Data Engineering.

How the Jobandtalent Data team is organized?

• The Data team includes three different teams that work very closely together.
  • The Data Engineering one owns the data pipelines and processes that generate the data needed by our Data Warehouse, and thus by the entire Jobandtalent.
  • The Data Science team, which owns all the models used by the Product teams
  • The Data Analytics team is composed of two types of profiles: (i) Product Data Analysts, which work embedded in the Product Team following a Hub'n'Spoke approach, and (ii) Data Partners, which are working closely with other departments such as Finance, Sales, Marketing, etc.

How do we organize the tasks and the planning?

• We are very data-driven, we have clear KPIs for each project, team, and goal.
• We define strong OKRs for every quarter, we work with bi-weekly Sprint (each team has its own JIRA Project), and a Data PM is leading the delivery processes and metrics.
