About the Role

Being a "Tikalist" means entering a career journey, focusing on three main key areas:

  • Professional development - continuously getting to know new Backend technologies, and delving deeper into the technologies you are interested in.

  • Becoming a Senior Backend Engineer- improving personal skills, such as self-management, growing their influence on their peers, presentation skills, and even running a dedicated technology leadership course for employees who are at this stage.

All this is set out in a personal roadmap, which also identifies who in the company can help them, and any other ways in which Tikal can support them in achieving their goals.
